  • yeah, the whole point was to make fun of web2 development as it went. Now he has web3 logins too, which are way more awkward than anything before, but, like, work with as few 3rd parties as possible.

    The regular login is just password that fetches creds stored in local storage without any cookies. Most of time one wouldn’t even notice it, and as secure as CORS/HTTPS (which would screw you if not working properly anyway). Kind of shows what a pile of data-stealing nonsense this all is.





  • Exactly; it’s associated with chaos. Yet it’s in the wording exactly - the punk movement didn’t ruin any of this; police/media resistance did, by associating both with each other and with all the evil scarecrows they could come up with. The conformist masses did, by following the proposed narrative. You could do any righteous thing that harms capitalist powers - from mailbombing to feeding the orphans saved from Epstein/Trump/Putin island - media will attack it with full powers of institutionalized philosophy mills with terrible wheels multiplied by media tools. Picking out details of what actually happened is beyond usefulness at this state of matter.

    It’s similar how Islam got associated purely with terrorism and radicalism just as a flow of anarchic thought influxed the islamic school of thought, culminating with Bei. We don’t draw associations between Christianity and terrorism even as Russia mounts christian jihad faith warriors to strike Ukraine - media ignores that because there are no serious religious anarchist works coming from orthodox church, it does not question the status-quo at all.

    Similarly, early Black Sabbath were singing about their drug dealer and stuff, nobody cared. They release “war pigs” - got all the blame in the world about destroying the fabric of society.

    This might sound stretched, but I just happen to graduate from Moscow State University, where philosophy was a mandatory subject for science people even in BS/MS; those people from philosophy department made no secret about their true purpose - marketing and propaganda - and the latter had quite straightforward alignment. It’s an automated mill, as everything in the system.

    Punks culture has nothing to do with this image of anarchism.
