It’s pretty disgusting how much the SV zeitgeist had spent years talking about liberty from tyranny and less than a year into this admin so many people are totally in line.
This just feels so downstream of “the people I dislike are against this so I will be for it” logic. At least the libertarians had some form of principled reasoning … sometimes.
- mindslight 10mo agoSadly, this is the inevitable result of so-called "right Libertarianism" at the large scale. With its axiomatic framing, emphasis on individual freedom for yourself, and ignorant rejection of sticky market effects (ie computational complexity), its basically a recipe for power-hungry individuals to justify creating new authoritarian power structures with de facto governmental effects.
