Taking #siliconvalley's word for it, that all we want to do with speech is this #socialcapitalism.. Was a terrible idea.

I believe this is #socialcapitalism. This has the potential to help a lot of children to get tools they need to do better in school and parents a way to actually learn the facts about things that are going on. I would not mind if my tax dollars went to this.

Hey, @gavinnewsom
If the rumor is that Musk is going to buy #SVB, then maybe California should buy #SiliconValleyBank and turn it into a community / #MunicipalBank.

We are the 4th or 5th largest economy globally; we should act like it.

Yeah OK we've fucking seen enough.

The crackers who're moving over here from IG are every bit as white supremacist as the ones who've been here for a while. Any differences are presumably because of the unique quirks of "their own" cracker culture in contrast to the preexisting one here.

They instinctively put themselves & their attachment to #SocialCapitalism first.

It's deeply ingrained & anyone expecting it, as a whole, to improve is setting themselves up for disappointment.

So it goes.

@gaditb That power can also be mobilized for bad causes, so a key question is what amount of social power/capital is safe/good to be concentrated and wielded by any single individual?
