Great example of what Cory Doctorow calls the Shitty Tech Adoption Curve:

If you want to do something terrible with technology, you can't just roll it out on people with money and social capital. They'll complain and your idea will tank. Successful shitty tech rollouts start with people you can abuse with impunity (prisoners, kids, migrants, etc) and then work their way up the privilege gradient.

Attacking Trump from the right is a losing battle. Fuck war and fuck memes that glorify conscription.

You could throw a twenty in a vat o' hot oil

When he jump in after it watch him boil

Toss a dollar in the river and when he jump in

If you can find he can swim

Put lead boots on him and do it again! You and a friend

Videotape and the party don't end

Tell that boogers be sellin' like crack

He gon' put the little baggies in his nose and suffocate like that

Put a fifty in the barrel of a gun

When he try to suck it out, a-ha, well you know this one

 

Thanks to poor engineering and Elon Musk, Tesla’s road rage-inducing street tank can’t even win over its core demographic: doomsday preppers

Jack had heard a lot about the invite-only social media group Blokes Advice when he decided to apply to become a member. The group pitches itself as a place men can go for support when life gets hard and is affiliated with Better Bloke Project, a men's mental health charity.

But Blokes Advice has also been accused of harbouring a culture of toxic masculinity. It didn't take long for Jack to experience the group's dark side firsthand.

When Jack was accepted into the group, he found all members were required to post a photo of a woman they rated a "10" for attractiveness before asking a question on the chat. He noticed the thread sometimes contained comments that were misogynistic and degrading towards women.

With surveys reporting that an increasing number of young men are subscribing to these beliefs, the number of women finding that their partners share the misogynistic views espoused by the likes of Andrew Tate is also on the rise. Research from anti-fascism organisation Hope Not Hate, which polled about 2,000 people across the UK aged 16 to 24, discovered that 41% of young men support Tate versus just 12% of young women.

“Numbers are growing, with wives worried about their husbands and partners becoming radicalised,” says Nigel Bromage, a reformed neo-Nazi who is now the director of Exit Hate Trust, a charity that helps people who want to leave the far right.

“Wives or partners become really worried about the impact on their family, especially those with young children, as they fear they will be influenced by extremism and racism.”
