Quite an ideological position. One that entirely lacks nuance or evidence. As if serfs could have engineered their way out of fiefdoms.

Hmm, that sounds like there's a practical problem that needs solving. How are you going to solve that one? By sitting around pontificating about your social media messaging? By gluing yourself to your plowshare? By joining a nihilistic, apocalyptic cult? By being all blah, blah, blah? Or are you going to do something about it?
- yunwal 4y agoCertainly not gonna accomplish anything by myself. A good first step would be to reach out to other people in similar situations, and convince them to join the cause.
- clouddrover 4y agoSo you will do nothing. Another non-contributor, another passenger, another hanger-on. That's not practical.
- yunwal 4y agoHave you… actually studied the French Revolution? Which individual did it? And what kind of engineering feat did they use to accomplish it?
- the_only_law 4y agoWhat are you doing? whining on HN? What a role model.
