Worse than consumers. "Prosumers". People making free stuff that they can insert themselves as a middleman and exploiting the digital commons to destruction.
User should take let's say 40% of the blame. (Unlike the physical world where getting walked over by capitalists is inevitable).
They could have just blocked all ads, not posted their personal shit online, laughed at micro-transactions, laughed at simps, laughed at DRM, ignored corporate spectacle, app stores, fake internet points and e-celebs.

But they didn't, and now we're totally fucked.

that is purely idealism, you must understand. from the perspective of you and I, obviously an average internet user LOOKS like an utter dipshit who dgaf about their freedom or yours. of course, the truth is they were very carefully primed for it. I started using the internet as a 13-year-old child, and ended up making so many of the same ridiculous mistakes that "normies" make online, well into my adolescence. the process of unlearning all that was a long and difficult one. now I'm a much more conscious internet user, but I was also lucky enough to have tech-savvy parents and be born in the Z generation, and those are far more significant factors than any personal quality I have.

Can't relate. Using the internet since I was 12. Didn't have tech-savvy parents or school peers, and it wouldn't have helped anyway because everything was brand new, so adults were discovering at the same time or usually behind the curve. On the internet I have no idea how old anyone was or their backgrounds. It was taboo to talk about that.

Everyone who got past the technology filter was a heroically rational Promethean hacker, who intuitively knew what the internet was for (Creating a utopian new digital world pretty much).
They intuited anti-private property values as a direct experience of the zero-cost of copying information.
Rejected intellectual property sharing knowledge, software, and art. Intuitively understood and anticipated the threat from commercialization.
Fighting tooth and nail against ads, cookies, and spyware (today known as "apps") from the very second they appeared.

The only mistake was underestimating the niggercattle. We thought they were safety contained in the AOL walled garden and would remain so forever. Or that their shitbox computers would be trashed by Bonzibuddy making it a self-contained problem.
But alas even passive mobs are dangerous when there are billions of them.

you have fallen for the memes of meritocrats.
where computer nerds haven't been outright reactionaries themselves, they've compulsively masturbated to shooting themselves in the feet. first making software that is more unintuitive than necessary, then acting surprised when a business operating on commercial incentives makes something more intuitive with half the usability at an infinitely higher price, and so gobbles up the entire ecosystem because dollars have a higher rate of return than self satisfaction and most people just want to get things done because a computer is ultimately a tool, not a toy.

if you are ever to create a utopian digital world it is necessary to take the people with you rather than trying to hermetically seal yourself off as part of some cognitive elite. the alternative is, inevitably, to set up a situation where someone much smarter than you will take advantage of the remainder of the people for their own personal profit. you may consider the average person cattle, but if you approach them as something to be slaughtered rather than revered then you set yourself up to be trampled to death.

the right-wing hippies of the californian ideology promised that if you just left the network alone it would set us free, but of course capitalist freedom always entails the freedom to exploit others. the freedom to conduct commerce, for many, trumps the freedom not to have every detail of their being turned into a commercial product, the freedom to not live under feudal conditions with algorithms attached. the californian ideology must be destroyed and the self appointed elites must have their fingers broken. the only justifiable walled garden is the gulag that the silicon valley tech dickheads will die in.

Well I know that now. Unfortunately STEMfags weren't big into reading Marx in the 90s-00s.

where's the distributist quadrant

those are extremely valid points never adressed by the pro trans obsessed idpol types
also, identity is misunderstood. Nobody cares what you identify yourself as despite how much capitalism and liberalism push you to affirm yourself with those stupid consumerist "identities" (basically market target), whats important is how others identify you, regardless of what you claim to be.

Radical centrism is a well know term. "Radical" means literally "at the root", something like without any compromise or softening, going to the root of the matter. So it makes perfect sense to speak of radlibs.
But also in terms of optics I think it's good to call them fundamentalists and radicals and consider ourselves moderate people with reasonable positions. The fact that status quo itself is insane and radical should only work in our favor. The left is too attached to this "radical" (and also intellectual) aesthetic because it enjoys its marginal position more than actually taking power.

ok well i identify you as a faggot

really? just look at them

Living in LATAM means you've normalized absurdity, so now "nonsense" must take the place of absurdity.
