#5> Right now, with their billions and trillions of dollars, they are trying to create a new world run by post-humans without ever having inquired about the opinions and preferences of the rest of humanity. They’re doing this without our consent, and they don’t really care one bit about what the rest of us have to say.
Man this shit makes me so sad for our future. The money train has left the station and I don’t know if enough good people have the will or ability to shut this destructive speed run down.

The magazine is named after a 1938 book "The Black Jacobins" about the Haitian revolution started by slaves and which occurred partially because of the French revolution. The revolution was successful with slavery (mostly) ending and Haiti becoming a state.
The book claims the revolutionaries (The black versions of the Jacobins) in Haiti were more true to the ideals of the French revolution than those in France because human rights extended to all in the former.
So since the magazine isn't named after the Jacobins in France your criticism makes no sense.

The GP isn’t wrong. Jacobin magazine is controversial even among the left because of its name and some of its bedfellows.
It shouldn't be. See my other comment for details but it's named after a book about the Haitian revolution (The Black Jacobins) not the Jacobins in France.
I'm also curious why you think the magazine is controversial on the left because of the name? What information led you to that conclusion?

#9I don't know if "tech capitalists" care about humans or not but I am certain that we should behave as if they do not.
I include myself in that.
I hope people find value in the things I have built and I assume that my literal skin in the game, in the form of my children and eventual grandchildren, will allow others to identify aligned interests ...
... but don't let your guard down just because that one guy did some nice things.
