So we have Elon Musk, currently speedrunning the destruction of a company nominally worth $44 billion; and Palmer Luckey playing Dr. Strangelove by creating a weeb-inspired death helmet, all while providing the U.S. government with the tools to remotely execute its opponents.

But the thing that should really scare us is trans activists detoxifying the internet by getting Tier 1 ISPs to blackhole hate sites.

Right.

I dunno, both big tech's collusion with the government and censorious activists working to purge the Internet worry me. It's not one or the other.

It's literally a joke piece. Calm the fuck down.
