Milady Maker NFT Crashes: Founder Tied With Suicide Cult

Welp: "Even darker things started to roll out when multiple sources reported on Miya’s connections with ‘SystemSpace’, an obscure suicide cult that asserts that reality is an artificial simulation, and urges people to commit suicide to get the afterlife – which they described as a cyberpunk paradise."

(As I keep saying: singularitarianism is simply Jesus-free Christianity. Pass it on.)

@cstross libertarianism is evangelicanism for money-worshipping narcissistic atheists. they truly believe money makes them divine beings.

anything emanating from it, technolibertarianism, transhumanism whatever; they're all the same death cult. but because it's white-supremacist & patriarchal capitalism, the vast majority of peons in this country wont do shit.

so our future is literally in the hands of an unhinged oligarchy that believes money gives them superpowers & immortality

@blogdiva Prosperity gospel. If you're godly, Jeezus will make you rich. (Corollary: if you're rich, it's because Jeezus is smiling upon you. So opposition to your wealth is a sin.)

@cstross @blogdiva These people are actively anti-christs and they know it. It's just a good scam for them.

@blogdiva @cstross I keep thinking the recurring theme is, they try to overcome alienation by redoubling alienation.

@blogdiva @cstross

If you excludes narcissists, the world gets really small, really quickly.

I think all that would be left are people with self-loathing.

Not that I have anything against people with self-loathing. I agree with most of them.

@blogdiva @cstross

Outside of the unnecessary dig against "narcissistic atheists," I am totally on board with the rest of your statement.

Especially the unhinged oligarchy part.

I get kind of confused by the difference between libertarians and anarchists.

I am pro-anarchist, but find that the main belief of libertarians is that they don't want to pay their bills.

@blogdiva @cstross I don't see how this ends but in rich enclaves defended by killer bots.
It would seem that people should be preparing to smash the oligarch's supremacy sooner rather than later. They are a malign infestation that consciously feeds on us like vampires while we sleep.

@cstross I'm not aware of any cyberpunk world which would have the word "paradise" attached to it.

@cstross Always bizarre to me how people don't realize that the entire cyberpunk genre is a description of a techno-dystopia. It's not a desirable world nor is it meant to be one. It's a warning.

I vaguely recall it being when people started taking it seriously.

@cstross The suicide cult thing is gnostic rather than Christian - similar to the Albigenses.

@cstross i should not read shit like that. It makes me so angry i could puke.
Grooming girls on social media into anorexia, convincing teens to commit suicide.
It's said that executioner is a terrible job, but it has it's good days if you get clients like that.
