gyges went off the deep end quite some time ago, up to and including support for a crypto/ai grifter's “dystopiabreaker” claims that not falling with the autoconfabulator crowd is basically being anti-vaccine.

there's nothing centrist about him, along the lovely racist theophite, he's one of the more aggressive confabulation machinery grift promoters.

that gleckler dude's website has so many red flags it's basically a 1985 warsaw may day parade.

and on top of that he seems to be a fan of autoconfabulators.

the reasons he thinks programmers aren't workers seem to be threefold (a) they earn too much, (b) they don't sweat enough and (c) they align with their bosses. and – to me at least – is obvious, that he only deigns to use the word “worker” for people who do (hard enough) manual labour.

this – from a dude who has a baccalaureate in italianistics, magisterium in linguistics and studies for phd in history – is an obvious intelligentsja stereotyping. lad thinks he's punching up, and in reality he's punching down.

i'm not a fan of military industry, but that doesn't make me claim the workers there are not proletariat.

fortunately the account (that i never interacted with) has my account blocked, so i couldn't make them angry by pointing out they're engaging in typical intelligentsia behaviour of assuming that only heavy industry workers are workers.

so potentially many times infinite number of angels (or devils)

depends on the size of the pinhead

sure: “what a wonderfully campy villain”, “poor sean bean, again” and “guillotine your local aristo”, among other things.

it's a delightful romp.

oh the infighting!

also, used it to good effect.

thanks. telling.

they watched “jupiter ascending” and took all the wrong conclusions from the film.
