If someone is "fiscally conservative", then ultimately they are saying we should all have to fight over resources, & in order to keep people fighting over resources, you have to keep prejudice, fear, & resentment alive, so... seems to me like being "fiscally conservative" means there is a need for people to abuse each other.

Healthy, happy people help each other, & that's what the Epstein Class can't tolerate. So they indoctrinate people to create the misery that their system demands.

The Epstein Class knows that an attack on social structures of abuse threatens to topple the whole exploitation system, & that's why they've enlisted so many soldiers in this fight.

The whole concept of capitalism requires humans to be uncooperative with each other. Meanwhile, human civilization developed because we are really, really fucking good at collaborating.

The math isn't mathing.

Capitalist, colonialist exploitation depends on traumatized children. It all depends on traumatized children, & it always has.

The Epstein class fights us on "social" issues because the logical result of respecting all people would be a world where people become hard to exploit & even harder to convince to do someone else's violence.

Without suffering, the power structure collapses. The suffering is necessary to the economic system.

@aral After we banned Anthropic employees from open-source projects, we could continue with banning Anthropic employees from everywhere else, including public life, too.

And Palantir employees too. On that note: I recently learned that one of #Neovim's maintainers, MariaSoOs, is an employee of Palantir.

In 2026 I refuse to accept stupidity or naivety as excuse for working at Palantir. Anyone working for Alex Karp is an enemy of every decent person.

We need to show these fucking assholes that being an asshole working at vile companies has consequences and isn't socially accepted.

Time to migrate to Helix, unless the @neovim maintainers kick MariaSoOs out of the team.
