"O Brasil só toma jeito no dia em que desistir de tomar jeito e investir pesado na indústria do escarcéu pra exportar pro resto do mundo nossa tecnologia do furdunço. E assim, um dia, quem sabe, nossas instituições estarão à altura do nosso carnaval"

This is how people in Brazil are responding to unaccountable congress members who want to change the law to be completely unaccountable for crimes and along the way pardon those who tried a Coup D’etat back in early 2023
Was a real pleasure to discuss my work on community currencies and the future of governance in the age of AI with @gov_futures.
Many thanks @Bbeats1 & @Jamilya_eth!
When confronted by @glenweyl on past writings advocating that welfare recipients be placed in solitary confinement with only screen-based interaction, @curtis_yarvin defended it as a humane policy for the large number of ‘zero marginal product humans’.
@MemeMagician97@sudan_shoe@glenweyl@curtis_yarvin Now I’m the one thinking you have text interpretation difficulties… lol. I’d say I “owned” you just now but I don’t believe in human beings having absolute power over one another so I avoid that language 😂
@MemeMagician97@sudan_shoe@glenweyl@curtis_yarvin Ok, since you can’t give me a straight answer on this, let me ask you another question: do you think Curtis Yarvin should delete his writings defending solitary confinement for slum residents and welfare beneficiaries? He clearly changed his mind—so why keep it online?
@MemeMagician97@sudan_shoe@glenweyl@curtis_yarvin Do you support Yarvin’s proposal to place slum populations and welfare recipients in solitary confinement? Given you just praised your own text interpretation abilities in the other post, I hope you can provide a straight answer.
@MemeMagician97@glenweyl@curtis_yarvin That’s one way to interpret it. Another is that he contradicts his own writing and starts sweating profusely while trying to formulate a cogent response, which he ultimately fails to do. It’s painful to watch.
