i was watching a video of the fat larping hippies in Salem Oregon who made a little model guillotine and took it to a city council meeting. they cant make it across the parking lot without needing a rest, but they think theyre going to round people up? not sure their revolution is gonna go the way they envision

ive been thinking about how much i dislike the way NVK relates to the world, and how l have felt that way from our first interaction. i have also been thinking about how unlikely it is that he would intentionally backdoor his own products, and destroy his own life. Honestly, while i have thought he needed to be humbled, I have no desire to see him completely destroyed. but i think even more, ive concluded that people who lack compassion, even for their enemies, conflate accountability with self indulgence, and love the drug of enraged self righteousness, are a greater threat to the world than almost anything else.
