Fuckin ding dong
it's okay lol you didn't know
@Uksio the delivery truck policing your speech isn't that farfetched
Just wait until Amazon enters the culture war
And FedEx and UPS
That's what paypal really is
A Middleman
Same as record labels
Same as producers
They should be redundant, unimportant and replaceable, but sometimes they get nepotistic-monopolistic and jump over their heads
Ideally, yes
But it's within Patreon's right as a business to make stupid as fuck decisions and alienate their customers
Same with all the other middlemen
Oh I don't dispute that
Is it in USPS's rights to keep packages?
But Stripe and Paypal attacking alternatives crosses the line
Well USPS is different because that's the government
UPS I mean
But FedEx not wanting to deliver your dragon dildos is within their rights
This digital guild needs to be shown their fucking place
Well FedEx choosing to not deliver something to you is different from them accepting the delivery, then keeping it. That's the difference between Patreon banning people for shit and them witholding money like they did recently with that hacker dude
Tim's recent shows for this week and past got me slowly becoming a nihilist as the world is just getting worse
ayy, welcome to the blackpilled club
Go read Democracy: The God That Failed
If it makes me a full nihilist I swear I would build a cabin in the middle of Siberia
I don't know if it's really a nihilist work
democracy is just kind of shit because the incentive structure is fucked up
And retards outnumber you like five to one so there's nothing you can do to stop the worst from happening
Democracy =mob rule
My mother always told me people who should be in power avoided being in power like the plague and that's why regards have power
democracy isn't actually mob rule, not in practice, anyway
Every government is a defacto oligarchy
Or somewhere between oligarchy and technocracy
```it's okay lol you didn't know```
I always assume the one on the other side is a man and treat him that way.
If its a Woman. Well, discrimination FTW *muhahahaha* 😄
You've got the elite/ruling class (whatever you want to call it) and they retain power through appeasement
Oligarchy is the most stable order
it just to happens in democracies that this appeasement is bribery
And it is not bad or good by itself
Yeah, but I'd assume we are in for some enormous changes in the next 100 Years.
