To me, this is more akin to LARPing “Leave Britney alone!” than it is serious political activism.

I will be 0% surprised to learn that aella et co got paid 5+ figures for this shit

been mulling about these fuckers over the weekend and it’s absolutely wild how far they are wilful participants. self-identified chosen fuckwits, even if a number of them are (or at least, start out as) weaponised useful idiots

incredibly frustrating

you know

I saw the profile/person photo used by the NYT piece, read the pull-quote that amoeba shared, and just mouseover’ed the urbit mention (and thus saw the username)

and from that I made a guess that “wow this sure does sound like someone in the TPOT sphere (and who did that thing visa keeps telling people to do)” (which is to incessantly talk about your shit)

but surely I can’t just make such guesses, basis unfounded

ah. right.
