This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Serious posts can be posted here and/or in /c/GenZhou.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information.

He mentions capitalism a lot during the book (also some subtle anti-china rethoric like any self respecting liberal of course) but he not once mentions anything related about relations of production, he just criticizes the infinite growth property of capitalism and ties it a lot with the contemporary tech industry. The usual shallow criticism coming from libs who know about capitalism just from the osmosis of living on it and haven't really made any real study of it.

This paragraph is just peak pseudo-intellectual liberalism lmao, not technically his take but there is no debunking of the comment later which makes me think he actually believes it

  • Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead thought cybernetics would prevent fascism. For where fascism depends on the fragmenting of knowledge and oversimplified direction from above, cybernetics would engender holism and serve as “a kind of vaccination against fragmentation.” - 💀
