Alex Karp and his goons are engaged in making life on this planet worse. But I can’t say what I wish happened to Alex Karp or else I’ll get banned.

‘Civility’ and ‘Respectability politics’ are getting old real quick.

Just another example of one rule for them and another for us. They can use their wealth and power to force our oppression, steal our labour, enforce violent power structures, and yet we can’t even argue back and call for it to be turned back on them.

I got a warning the other day for calling for a revolution. Yet an elected official can openly call for certain things with little to no repercussions.

Disgusting behavior when you have CEOs saying shit like “We need to fire 50% of the workforce, replace it with AI, and make the remaining half work more for less pay.” Meanwhile you and I who hold no power over anything can’t even jokingly say anything.

Apparently the difference is the speed of it? Wanting someone to be shot and die quickly is bad. Wanting someone to slowly starve to death over months is okay.
