All your data can and will be used against you

Decentralization without a concept of politics is no different from current centralization.

Going further, decentralization without a concept of people-centric/communal politics is doomed to repeat and reform itself into a centralized system (see the Internet, e-mail, etc)

Your digital privacy, biological privacy, and personhood are not separate things. Any constitutional rights we lose regarding the former (e.g., backdoors on encryption) will constitute precedents for the erosion of our rights to the latter. Remember, your thoughts are just data…

# Software From Another World

> We undermine not only unions, but every aspect of the worker's life: AirBnB spikes rents, Uber disenfranchises drivers, a thousand streaming services reinvent cable, Amazon fucks everybody, and so on.

Your daily reminder that the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.
