Of all the deplorable, sickening things about Bay Area startup culture, unabashed technocracy worship is the worst. It would be pretty cool if we downsized the unprofitable states and sold them off to a holding company though.

Here's the gist: http://my.firedoglake.com/kitoconnell/2014/02/07/what-the-hell-happened-to-occupywallst/ But it's basically a technocrat that thinks Silicon Valley will solve the problems of late-crisis capitalism through what amounts to ~*~magic~*~ sprinkled in with trying to claim oppression from every angle and some good ol' anti-union hatred. The twitter speaks for itself. EDIT: Also, from horse mans:

There's no such thing as an Occupy "organizer" aside from (debatably) David Graeber and Kalle Lasn.computer parts posted:Good evidence for the claim that Occupy was started by anarchists. Unless you mean "anarcho-capitalists" which are completely 100% related to real Anarchists like Graeber, no it is not. That part isn't even controversial, Murray Rothbard consciously and openly stole the terms "libertarian" and "anarchist" from the left.

Is there a different meaning to Technocrat than I know? I thought it meant government by technical experts, e.g., you'd have public health experts in charge of public health. I don't think Eric Schmidt would qualify as an expert in anything that would qualify him to be President. He might be a good person to run the NSA or the BLS or something though.

I think that when it's used like this, a technocrat is a science, engineering, or technology professional put in charge of government to apply their lateral and critical thinking skills to problems that are simply beyond the feeble minds of mere lawyers and politicians. Which, of course, is why Herbert Hoover was our greatest president.

The constitution will be just one line: "do no evil". The Schmidt Regime will carefully control the definition of evil to reassert the ongoing power of the Regime and it will resemble every society ever including Rome, the USSR and every currently existing state in a de jure or de facto manner. I guess what I'm saying is we should find a new way to do things instead of putting some clueless sheltered jagoff in charge every so often. I sure wish clueless sheltered jagoffs would stop killing anybody who seriously threatens the clueless sheltered jagoff paradigm.

Nonsense posted:Anybody know what's become of Strike Debt? http://rollingjubilee.org/transparency/#debtbuys They haven't been doing much lately, but they're still sitting on some money. I remember hearing somewhere that they were having trouble with the tax implications of buying someone else's debt and then abolishing it. But yeah, their biggest buy from that page involved cancelling $12 million in medical debt for $250000.

Persona non grata posted:http://rollingjubilee.org/transparency/#debtbuys Yeah, canceled debt counts as income, so it's difficult to get people entirely off the hook. However, I think it's still worth doing, since the IRS can be negotiated with more than a collections agency.

Justine Tunney is leading the fight for a better America built upon technology; I shall call it Techmerica. And here you are, posting blithely, sir! I'll have you know this is injustice, that Justine is the Rosa Parks of Techmerica, forced to sit on the Back Side Bus and not be allowed to the Front Side Bus. Unacceptable! This petition is some of the stupidest poo poo I've ever seen, so I look forward to Republicans making a big deal about this in Congress.

So if the petition passes and Obama steps down, does Schmidt have to run for office or do we follow the petition's orders and Schmidt just becomes president instantly? I mean to a pleb like me it seems like a bad idea, but then I'm not a CEO so I guess I'm an idiot.
