I'm convinced the Amish may have the right idea.
Ted Kaczynski wasn't as crazy as we all thought
No no. He was.
I mean, aside from the whole bombing thing what did he do wrong?
later
Okay, okay... But besides the bombing, the sabotage, the vandalism, the harassment, and the animal cruelty, what did he really do wrong?
I mean, have you seen his dwelling? It was a mess!
Jordan Peterson would not approve...of the cleanliness of his living quarters.
(The rest of it he'd probably give a 👍)

Datacenters are the modern industrial looms if we're using that metaphor.

And in any case, who is destroying them (who are the weavers)?
Out of work Programmers and Furry Hentai artists
Specifically on the tech thing then. They have a lot of things wrong lmao
Yes, just the tech part.
Incest, rape, and animal abuse while dodging taxes?
Apparently they are over 400.000 in the US now. Time to join!
