Fascism is an alliance between the state and capital, and it is the role of the state to arrange a managerial role for capital over the planet. LetsEncrypt costs less than a million dollars to make the web as we know it possible to exist on for anyone that isn't a gigantic corporation. the only reason one would attack systems like LetsEncrypt, F-Droid, etc. is to consolidate an oligopoly. LetsEncrypt is used by some unbelievable share of the internet, 600 million websites which is in the neighborhood of ~60% of websites with an SSL certificate. Using the state to intervene with some flimsy pretext to recapture the profit of forcing 600 million people and organizations to fork it over to the Most Favored Capitalist is the driver behind the wheel of fascism. same as private prisons, same as tariff-driven price shocks, same as private postal service, and so on.
I have been all over the city on my bike today, drained my savings account, gotten 4 different forms from 3 different places, and I get to the second to last place and they are closed at 5 and wont open until Monday. My temporary moving permit is only for today and tomorrow, so I need to pay another $money for that, and also three more days in impound. Fuck this whole city and fuck everything about this. I DONT EVEN DRIVE THAT CAR
I was in a bureaucratic loop where my registration is expired so I can't get my car out of impound, but I can't get my registration because I can't get my car with the DMV. everything is very far so I wanted to know im going to the right place before setting out on my bike. DMV websites are broken as hell and phone hold times would put me past closing time.
I know AAA is like a bad org re: climate change, but I did manage to get ahold of them and they gave me good info in like 2 minutes. I have also been getting fucked around by my car insurance company, which is like most companies now is just a website shell around an LLM "service agent" and outsourced call center workers, and honestly when you encounter an organization where people still actually work there it's remarkably refreshing. I've never been a "I demand customer service" kind of person, but even I feel like "there are human beings that work at a place" is kind of a low bar to set, but there is my bar.
yeeti is clearly suffering from a direly outdated wardrobe and can't go on because nobody gave him PANTS they were too busy keeping that one man's shirt unbuttoned #monsterdon
they only had the one stationary foot prop and couldn't afford any rigging so they just sorta hung it up and told that one actor to act like he was being killed by it and ACTION #monsterdon
