ooh, did they sacrifice the goats in the factory? pretty snazzy; i haven't bought any new hardware in years, and this might just be the impetus I need to run out to microcenter.

WHY do these people not want structure, or shelter, or society?

have you considered that? have you fucking asked that? why someone might want to see the world burn? or do you just accept when you're told they do, and assume they're a magical evil monster?

I used to do a lot of work with unhoused populations. I tended to get those people, because nobody else could deal with them. I could, because the structure I offered wasn't coercive, the shelter I offered was clearly defined (when I could offer any) and no-strings-attached, and the society I was working for was one that would include them and give them a voice and treat them like fucking human beings.

okay. so someone wanted to drink on the streets. there's a reason. maybe a dumb reason, maybe a crazy reason, but a reason. I've been pretty close to taking this option before, once after seeing some shit that an emergency room kicked out, once after dealing with police victims. if I had been complicit and tied into existing systems, if I hadn't read all the theory and committed myself to working against oppression, I would have done something an awful lot like that.

seems like you just really enjoy throwing people away, and don't want to put any effort into understanding awful shit that they've experienced and how it motivates them to do the things they do, which you sometimes find odd.

I would throw 500$ at a mechanical engineer who was willing to take a crack at this with simple/stock parts. anyone else?

hell, ill take bolshevism over fascism, and their whole thing was killing people like me.

no, it took a few hundred years/all of recorded history.

and kids need stress relief, so why not let joe camel give it to them?

comparison to pedophiles? maybe unfair. comparison to big tobacco? on fucking point.

a computer is a tool, sure, and the hardware is largely opaque at the high school level, excepting massive nerds

but every single one of these big tech companies runs all their shit on proprietary ecosystem lock-in, and keeping customers infantilized.

anything that isn't open source should be fucking banned from schools.

"hey honey, here's your first computer. no parental controls, but you're only allowed to run arch, and im doing a pen test every weekend, with an attack that will disable features I can reach for three days. good luck!"

edit: alternatively: "there are parental controls on the router and I'll be switching them up regularly. you're not allowed to look at porn until you're a better hacker than your parents."

could still be a website.

okay, that's why you want it, but, like, why should they care?

if you're not willing to do violence; why should they care?

no they're brilliant, for exactly the reason you said.

I would also like to go back to websites, which are much less evil.

and that is when I just drop that company forever.

to be fair, the kids were on bikes? cars are weapons, and I can see not wanting those in your community. this is the fuckcars activism we need in the world.

okay but maybe don't listen to cops. who do you think does a pretty good share of the shootings?

I feel like they should be a lot more scared of getting shot by a bunch of crunchy purple haired anarchists or cringelord neostalinists who basically get off to giving them the wall after they push their shit too far and do our propaganda for us.

but maybe I don't have the best understanding of fear.

we could get rid of capitalism, stop burning all the libraries on purpose.

only shadow archives are real archives. anything subservient to the law is compromised, and WILL be destroyed eventually, probably with no notice. do not rely on it for anything that will ever matter to you.

no. shut the fuck up with this authoritarian garbage. when the "shelter" offered comes with a slew of dehumanizing draconian traditions, forces them to abandon other resources (including pets, which are also functional when you're homeless) and wildly precarious, you would have to be fucking stupid to take the deal. cut this shit out, or let me impose those conditions on YOUR shelter.

nah, they're about to happen, just late. check india and silicon valley.

and honestly, I would like to sit on a bench at night without worrying im keeping somebody out of their bed. that would be cool. I would like to stop the streets smelling like piss. I would like too walk on the sidewalk without having to detour and step into the street to avoid people's homes at least twice a block.

clearly, armed neo nazi thugs, even if you LIKE armed neo nazi thugs (we should, um, have a chat separately. what the fuck is wrong with hypothetical you?) don't make that happen. and for the libs: you wouldn't even have to look at human tragedy beyond their full comprehension every time you go outside! yes, you would have to give resources and basic human dignity to the 'undeserving', and supply side jesus WOULD damn you to eternal hell (being homeless in san francisco but during extreme weather events), but the few years before you die would be substantially nicer.
