     @nixCraft Weird; everything is anti-capitalist and anti-enshittification, and then suddenly there's a bullshit thing about "taxes and socialism bad" (or something?) at the end? Not making sense.

     @nixCraft ... but my life is so convenient handing over all my autonomy to tech controlled by others (sarcasm)

     The bed thing literally happened during the AWS outage last year.

     "One of these days," Joe said wrathfully, "people like me will rise up and overthrow you, and the end of tyranny by the homeostatic machine will have arrived. The day of human values and compassion and simple warmth will return, and when happens someone like myself who has gone through an ordeal and who genuinely needs hot coffee to pick him up and keep him functioning when he has to function will get the hot coffee whether he happens to have a poscred readily available or not." He lifted the miniature pitcher of cream, then set it down. "And furthermore, your cream or milk or whatever it is, is sour."

     The speaker remained silent.

     "Aren't you going to do anything?" Joe said. "You had plenty to say when you wanted a poscred."

     Stuff like this makes me think that bolsheviks knew what was what.

     This even though I'm not into violent coups, vanguardianism, destruction of tacit knowledge, OR the absolute kafkasque bureaucracy their polity evolved into.

     EDIT: Also makes me think of visiting the Latvian Museum of Occupation, where there was some generic statue (mayhaps a happy kid), with a plate saying that the occupiers liked to seed public places with mass-produced art. Didn't fit the narrative (for me).

     @nixCraft This is excessive and absurd, most of this won't occur before 2032.
