What of the crime of indirect taxation via unlimited monetary expansion which disproportionately hurts the poor and helps the already rich?
- nathan_compton 4y agoTo the extent that this is an accurate characterization of the status quo, its a social problem, not a technological one. No amount of technology will save us from power and its abuse and, in fact, the idea that technology will save us from the problem of building and participating in a just society is, in my opinion, part of the spectacle that keeps us docile in the face of power.
