Herrenvolk Hero, this one is. Also does she mean skilled workers or maybe manual labor? Domestic labor? What?

Her theory is that automation will make all skilled labor redundant except for engineering and programming. The scores of unemployed people made redundant by said automation will then work as domestic servants for the software engineers.


I don't think I need to elaborate on how stupid this idea is.

The line between trolling and actual belief is blurry with some of these people. Isn't post-jail Weev an out 'n' proud naaaazi now, complete with swastika tattoo and everything, who moved to Lebanon to escape the evil jew-controlled USA? Or is that just more trolling...
i don't think he moved to Lebanon but he is definitely a nazi with a swastika tattoo. then again, that's par for the course in our prison system. gotta get with the White Power Bills in order to survive

Last time she was on a tear she ended up retweeting some poo poo I said earlier in the thread about techies being our autistic gnome servants or something and having a meltdown after which I think her employers told her to STFU because she closed her twitter and then quietly reopened it later and has been pretty chill since..

i think Justine Tunney might just be trolling? idk. she is good friends with weev, as every piece of poo poo is.

it is said that people who tell the same lie over and over eventually start to believe it themselves.

i think the same holds true with trolling. it's all jokes and games at first, but then the attention they get gives them so much pleasure that the behavior becomes a core part of their personality.

The funny thing about this is that as soon as, say, tech nerds all over USA stop working, okay, it wouldn't be even a minute until all of us tech nerds in the third world start picking up whatever slack they leave behind. All those delicious dollars, they buy a lot of manpower that needs them.

And good luck coordinating more than 5 tech people to strike at once. It's the least union-like area of work in existence ever.

Who is weev?
A hacker and Anonymous activist jailed by the U.S. government on, admittedly, trumped-up bullshit charges. He was put in solitary confinement for much of his time in prison, and a lot of people in Anonymous and other hacking communities raised awareness of his plight, and some even offered to buy him books while he was in solitary.

Then he got free and it turned out that- surprise!- he's an out-and-out Nazi, immediately pissing away any goodwill he once had. Either prison made him snap, or he's always been a piece of poo poo due to being a moronic 4channer and a big poo poo in Anonymous. I'll go with the latter, because even "4chan activists" can't escape the fact that they're terrible people.

if you followed his old LJ before he went to jail you'd know he was an unrepentant criminal, bully piece of poo poo. doxx'd people (including Lowtax, lol), claimed to have stolen credit cards and was definitely anti semitic

he wiped a lot of this from the Internet when he was facing charges but there are traces around

quote:

By fetishizing the “weapons of the geek,” Coleman belies her radically techno-utopian belief—which colors the entire book but is never stated outright—that geeks offer the way to a better world through technological mastery. Anonymous is a political vanguard because it is the purest, most potent expression of geek power, able to slice through the Gordian knot of state repression and grueling organizing conditions that so often tie down activists. But why should we take an action seriously as a political statement simply because it uses the Internet?

...

Despite its anointing by Coleman, Anonymous is not a vanguard; it’s the relic of an already twice-failed dream. Anonymous is the latest and most dysfunctional marriage between a particular strain of countercultural utopianism and the boundless faith in technology that first appeared in the 1960s.

...

Today, their techno-utopianism is why a tech mogul like Mark Zuckerberg is celebrated as a visionary social engineer. In this context, Anonymous is anything but subversive; it is the most radical advocate of a widespread conflation of technological prowess with political wisdom. Anonymous is Silicon Valley’s unwitting shock troops, a live demo of the Internet’s power to transform our world. When Anons call for revolution, they’re calling for a better world. But the shallowness of their politics and their uncritical embrace of technology means this energy is easily channeled into Silicon Valley’s parody of revolution: a techno-liberation from the doldrums of day jobs with health insurance and steady benefits, in favor of the radical freedom and flexibility to pilot an Uber under contract.
