>inb4 at least one big tech service or government infrastructure goes down within the next few weeks and Drew DeVault gets mainstream news coverage for it.
@wowaname Drew DeVault was calling for tech workers in general to sabotage in both the private and public sector because Trump is in office and Big Tech isn't pretending to be left-wing anymore.
He even directed his incitement towards Palantir, which is run by faux-libertarian technocrat, Peter Thiel. I'm not a fan of Thiel, but by targeting him and Musk specifically, they will start to think twice before hiring and it gives them another excuse to hire H1Bs from India because those people probably never even heard of Drew DeVault.
I know that the technocratic issues are real and they are happening regardless of who is in office, but Drew making it about "right-wing bad" instead of looking at the bigger picture is going to make any opposition towards it look cringe.
Also, his simple sabotage ideas suck and will just lead to the saboteur getting caught. The Simple Sabotage handbook that he cited was much better written compared to his glowing blog post.
>Big Tech isn't pretending to be left-wing anymore.
>Drew making it about "right-wing bad"
bipartisan anything is dumb af, just do things correctly, not difficult. idk why people care about pic related
>his simple sabotage ideas suck
sounds like the only valid complaint
@wowaname I'm not trying to be bipartisan. The problem is that Drew is trying to be bipartisan. I agree that this shouldn't be a left/right issue, but Drew thinking that this technocracy is exclusively coming from the right is just going to alienate people.
Has Drew DeVault ever comment about carbon-credit scores or ULEZ cameras? Not from what I've seen. I'm against all forms of technocracy, left or right, but Drew seems to be only against "right-wing technocracy".
>I'm not trying to be bipartisan.
oh i didn't intend to direct that complaint toward you. i know what you mean and i agree it's stupid that it's the emphasis

@xianc78 let's just hope drew gets more crazy!
aside, i don't think he realizes speech laws are pretty different in the EU. there have been cases of incitement for less here.
@bonifartius He seriously needs to stop. I actually agree with this KF poster in that the technocracy issues are real, and Peter Thiel is just another technocrat, but Drew DeVault is going to make any opposition towards someone like Thiel look cringe. He's doing way more harm than good with his borderline fedpost.
@xianc78
i try to not let the actions of others dictate what i want to do.
of course the technocracy issues are real, but pandoras box is open with regard to this technology. it WILL be used by governments.
the solution would be quite simple: less government.
people like devault do this kind of virtue signalling shit because they can't allow less/no government: they'd LOVE this technocracy to be used against the people they dislike. look 4 years back. it was just a microscopic step away from putting uninjected into camps in much of the west. collectivists like drew would love to line up everyone politically right of mao and shoot them.
Just look at blocklisting on fedi.
I just realized that Drew DeVault gave tech CEOs another excuse to hire only H1B workers.
