yes “people were rude to me on the internet” is a huge factor in the reactionary turn of the tech elites - they’d rather support a dictator as long as he ensures no one is allowed to say mean things about them

It’s also the whole basis of the anti-woke “comedy” set. Rogan can’t stand being told he’s not funny for bashing trans people and therefore civilization is on the brink of collapse

“They’re all terrified. When do you stop with the jokes?” "Marc Maron rips “hacks” Joe Rogan & co. for punching down at trans people, immigrants etc. even after they’ve had their rights stripped and are now living in fear." bsky.app/profile/thet...

That Duncan dude backtracked. I didn't know who that was until Maron recommended Elephant Graveyard this week.

Someone else watched Comedy Jonestown this week! Depending on who I talk about it, I have to mention Bouie to some, Maron to others.

meanwhile they've been shitheads to everyone who isn't them for the last 500 years and none of us have become fascists.

I don't even think "ensures no one says mean things about them" is going to satisfy them. They seem to want "must say nice things about them"
