Rejection of narratives is a narrative in itself

Western liberalism may have flaws (like committing livestreamed genocide) but it has offered more practical policymaking (like committing livestreamed genocide)

At least it is not as bad as fascism and its little brother communism

Fuck these people

      I hate the paradoxically-dehumanizing techbro talk with a passion, too.

      Just like when a billionaire with a god complex babbles about future omnipotent treat printers being “friendly” (to them), when a billionaire with a god complex has the PR department dish out shit about “making humans into better humans to serve humans better in the human community for humans. Humans” I understand why the Drej Queen of the Drej Tank hates that word so much.
