   The kings, at least, I can understand. They’re the natural, psychopathic beneficiaries of an obscenely unjust and unequal system. It’s the courtiers kissing their asses for a place at court that I can’t stand.

   Yes, this is about tech.

   Yes, you know who you are.

     @aral I have similar sentiments about fascists and centrists. Fascists have relinquished their humanity and can be considered wild, dangerous animals. Centrists are the people taking us on unconsented safari.

     @heydon Only maybe they’re the hunters on Safari and we’re the game? (I mean, it’s a bit unfair to wild animals.)

     @aral What worries me even more than the courtiers are the acolytes. The courtiers at least get a place at court for their ass-kissing.

     When you tell someone you’re not on Twitter because it’s a cesspool full of Nazis, hatespeech, misinformation and propaganda … and they tell you they don’t really see that … and then go on to defend #Musk who doesn’t even know they exist.

     These acolytes gain nothing. They’ve just been utterly indoctrinated. I hope they wake up one day, for their sake and ours.
