I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.

      I don't think people understand either the implications it has on organizing.

      Like it is impossible to organize a leftist party without completely circumventing all established forms of communication.

      Half the reason Nazis do stochastic terrorism is because it's the only way to guarantee that you can't be tracked. Because a one man cell acting on his own volition isn't telling anyone what he's doing.

      This reminds me of a stupid anecdote from my life. I lived in a town with a population of <5,000 on 9/11 and the school board banned kids walking to and from school at least till the next semester. Like, what did they think was going to happen?
