Brought to you by the scumbags doing everything in their power to make sure our tech future is a dystopia where literally every action we take has a cost and they get to collect part of that cost simply for existing. The scumbags that spent the last few years making sure that billions of dollars in venture capitalist funding went into building crypto scams rather than anything useful.

Fuck Andreessen Horowitz. If we have a positive tech future it will be because we had the wisdom to burn their firm and every company like it to the ground and then bury the ashes.

At least they screamed the "WE'RE SO FUCKING EVIL" part out loud:

The Enemy
...
Our present society has been subjected to a mass demoralization campaign for six decades – against technology and against life – under varying names like “existential risk”, “sustainability”, “ESG”, “Sustainable Development Goals”, “social responsibility”, “stakeholder capitalism”, “Precautionary Principle”, “trust and safety”, “tech ethics”, “risk management”, “de-growth”, “the limits of growth”.

Sustainability is the enemy. Social responsibility is the enemy. Trust and safety are the enemy. Ethics are the enemy.
