> While you are right to recognize that there was some attempt to inject political context, it was not there originally, and is not the main discussion taking place.

I don’t care if anyone wants political context to be there or not. Political context is not some subjective choice that the participants in a discussion can choose to be the case or not, like some alternative history exercise.

This political context (i.e. reality) called NeoLiberalism is so well-researched and argued that I can just call it NeoLiberalism and even a forum full of techheads don’t bat an eye. Which is more than can be said for your incoherent nuh-uh where both:

- Technology just determines things by itself

- And (also) the rank and file peons who implement technology could have forced something better on the world (than the pile of shit that we have)
