      I'm at the Ned Ludd point where I'm viscerally disgusted by people who share 20-years-younger-me's wide-eyed optimism about "the digital revolution" and all that shit How can you not see that the people most empowered by the "digital revolution" are the worst people in the world

      "You wish the Internet didn't exist" is obviously a strawman position among people arguing on the Internet But holy shit, if you haven't sometimes *felt* like it shouldn't exist, have you even been paying attention

      I'm speaking about the purest form of Luddism, from the original Ned Ludd, which has nothing to do with culture and aesthetics and theories about human well-being and psychology and all that Black Mirror shit It's about money What has the Internet done but destroy jobs

      It destroys jobs and destroys jobs and destroys jobs and then like adds back 2% of the jobs it destroyed, which are all in San Francisco for smug techbro white dudes with connections who all deserve to have their asses kicked

      It tricks you into thinking it didn't destroy jobs by giving you fake "jobs" that are just demeaning e-begging gig economy bullshit where you hustle and grind and self-market and brand-build and never actually get paid any actual money

      All the efficiency and convenience gained by our digitally interconnected world? "Inefficiency" is *somebody's job* That middleman that got disintermediated represents thousands of families now desperate to put food on the table

      "But that's not the *Internet*, that's *capitalism* If we lived in a world where people weren't dependent on bullshit jobs to make a living, then 'destroying jobs' would just provide greater freedom and leisure for everyone, and make life better"

      Yes, the Internet wouldn't be bad if capitalism didn't exist And if human beings didn't need oxygen to breathe, coronavirus wouldn't hurt anyone -- hell, maybe in our completely-different biology it would actually be a healing salve that made you feel awesome and happy

      I guess it's not coronavirus' fault, right, and we shouldn't be mad at it, it's only a non-sentient piece of RNA the way the Internet is just a bunch of machines Tell that to Ned Ludd and his wrecking crew

      there was a game called Uplink that I played as a bright-eyed techno-utopian youngster and one of the factions in Uplink wants to destroy the entire-ass internet for this + the "democracy/information transmission is broken forever b/c of cognitive closures" reasons

          and damn if I am not -wildly- sympathetic to that view of things right now in 2020 in a way I never would have expected to have been that said *gestures around at protests* all of -this- wouldn't be happening with everyone having networked cell phones, either

          Yeah and Tracer Tong's ending of Deus Ex is clearly the good ending
