Odio con TODO mi ser las personas que hacen ramplas sobre los andenes y encima los enchapan con unas baldosas de mierda súper inseguras y lo digo porque fuí víctima de una mierda de esas, me fuí de fractura de hombro y toda la cosa.
Edward Snowden in 2019: "The problem with applications like WhatsApp is, it was actually designed to have very strong encryption, just the same as the gold standard today which would be the signal messenger or the wire messenger, but then it was bought by Facebook because it was so good, and now Facebook is quite aggressively reducing the security of WhatsApp about once a quarter, and they’re trying to do it as quietly as possible, so a messenger that the people are comfortable using now is actually a danger to you."
Consider, if you will, this peculiar Silicon Valley confession: “I worked for 36 hours with no sleep. Although I was dead, I also felt energized. I even fell asleep a few times while driving home in my Cybertruck, but fsd came in clutch. Happy thanksgiving.” People read this and say, “Wow, so crazy.” No. This is not crazy. This is ideology speaking in the first person.
Look at what he is really proud of. Not what he built, not the result. He is proud of his own exhaustion. He whips himself and calls it self-actualization. Before, the saint starved in the cave for God. Now, the engineer fasts from sleep for the billionaire.
And the best part, the truly obscene part, is the drive home. Here the machine steps in as what Lacan would call the big Other, the big adult in the room that keeps going while you collapse. You can be unconscious, half-dead, and still you are “productive,” because the car does the driving, the system does the watching. You close your eyes, the algorithm stays awake.
But notice the ideological twist: rather than confronting the absurdity of a society where one works until unconsciousness, the narrative is inverted. The same system that squeezes him until he is sleeping at the wheel also appears as his savior. This is pure capitalism. First it injures you, then it sells you the bandage, and you say thank you. You wreck yourself for one of the billionaire’s machines, then another one of his machines rescues your body on the drive home.
Which brings us to the “Happy Thanksgiving.” It is the final twist of the knife. Gratitude here is not for rest, or sanity, or enough sleep to drive safely. Gratitude is for the privilege of being exhausted in the right office, in the right hoodie, for the right man. You give thanks to the very structure that wears you down. It is like saying grace over your own burnout.
Thus the man who naps on the freeway is not a deviation. He is the ideal subject of our time. Half-alive, overworked to the point of being a public hazard, and then thanking the machine that keeps this madness just barely on the road. The system grinds him down, risks his life and the lives of everyone around him, and his reaction is not “this cannot go on,” but “I am so grateful.” In this one man in a Cybertruck you get the whole picture at once: exploitation, technology and holiday cheer condensed into a single, obedient “thank you.”
En esta larga lucha contra la delincuencia y el narcoterrorismo, el Estado ha tenido al frente grandes desafíos. Pero lo rebelado anoche por Caracol TV es realmente inédito. No es sólo la infiltración sino la supuesta cooperación entre sectores del Estado con la criminalidad. Es necesaria toda la claridad y transparencia y la toma de decisiones eficaces para extirpar cesa situación.
El verdadero trasfondo de la discusión sobre la natalidad ya lo ha vislumbrado Mark Fisher en “Realismo Capitalista.”
Eso de que “es más fácil imaginar el fin de la humanidad que el fin del capitalismo” es evidente cuando sugieren que debemos dedicar toda nuestra vida, (…)
Claro que sí. La primera tarea era hacer la máquina de escribir en icopor para poder hacer los ejercicios en clase, porque en el colegio no había máquinas de escribir para estudiantes.
