I feel like I’ve actually encountered some Libs IRL and in other online spaces who at least sounded more intelligent. Every one that wanders in here just insists that their right, cites Wikipedia, and tries to troll people like a 14 year old who stole their moms laptop.

You think we’d occasionally get a somewhat more articulate one there but I’ve yet yo see it.

          I’m somewhat ashamed to say that I own a piece of Morello merch – some years back, he did a signature guitar wah-wah pedal with Dunlop. Funny thing is, it’s just a regular Dunlop Crybaby wah, but with Zapatista graphics. I didn’t already have a Crybaby, and the used market on those things dried up pretty badly during COVID lockdown, so I said fuck it, $5 above regular new price and I get EZLN livery on my wah? Count me the fuck in.

          Then he went and did this NFT shit. God damn it, Tom.

      One of the early Bitcoin arguments was that it would help marginalized people in the global south who were cut off from traditional banking.

      Fast forward to fairly recently, when some people in Palestine are using crypto to receive aid, Binance cut off access when Israel asked. No court orders necessary. Turns out crypto is easier to freeze than money in traditional banking.

      Remember when people here said AI art was proletarianizing art by taking it from the “”“bourgeois”“” artist class and putting it in the hands of the working class?
