Oh and that consultant you're thinking of must be Xeni Jardin. I remember seeing this posted after from one of her appearances on MSNBC and laughing my ass off
Also the Beto hornyposting tweet is the "make your calves cramp" one, if you remember that verbiage. I don't have the link but it's definitely in the archived thread
Aw shit that archive link isn't really it with the lack of replies. But that is the original poster so you can probably find some of the real "worst tweets"
Xeni and the enshittification radlib Cory Doctorow used to be (still are?) tight which says everything about the value of gen x hacktivist political analysis.
Is Cory just a lib? I thought he was some kind of left. I mostly just know about the enshittification article, which presents it as a natural feature of capitalism, which is correct.
he's an anticap radlib. enshittification is good analysis it's just insufficient and entirely compatible with liberal critiques of crony capitalism/regulatory capture/etc. the trpf alone doesn't make an analysis a material or class-based one, and I've never seen Doctorow combine it with those things.
