I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

—Rebecca Shaw, The Guardian (2025-01-16)

thanks in no small part to Behind the Bastards podcast, I’m constantly having to face just how cringe tech bros (and our ruling class) are – this chuuni mentality of latching onto ideas that sound profound in eighth grade – but unlike normal people, refusing to grow up and grow out of those ideas – whereas the rest of us have to face reality and face the consequences of our decisions, these guys have constantly been insulated from the rest of society – from parents who never said «no» to being surrounded by yes-men, they’ve never had to shop at Grocery Outlet – «It’s one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?»
