This strikes a perfect balance of masochistically (nothing’s perfect) impractical romantic nonsense (which i adore) and completely useless unthreatening meaningless bullshit that will serve to change nothing but fuel your disillusionment by convincing you how impossible better things are when it fails, not if, because it’s unsustainable and provides no benefit to you.

So here’s a quickie non-bullshit version:

Your technology has all betrayed you. It was never yours. But it could be.

When the internet was taken from us by corporations peddling influence over our behavior, they stole more than just some intelkectual property. They stole our relationships with each other, and, i think, if you look at scifi media by release date; our ability to imagine, maybe even to want, a better future.

Reclaim it with FOSS and cutting toxic maliciously operated networks out of your life. Learn to use your computer rather than be used by it. Build the networks we were promised. Take your connection to others back, and with it, perhaps, your future.

Also, semi-related but less inspirational: turn palo alto to radioactive fucking glass. Organize a new order for humanity, if only to hunt down any of the bastards who survive by being on their private islands when the bombs go off, and kill every living thing in their bunkers, then grind the island defiled by their touch down until its a pit in the fucking sea floor.
