The whole thing reads like an odd parody. “A modest proposal.”

the more i'm thinking about this... it cannot be serious...

The essay takes the anti-Omarchy arguments and pushes them to deliberately absurd conclusions:

>> “You don't want fascists benefiting from your code?”

> Then don't publish source.

> Background-check every user.

> Maintain a centralized approved-user registry.

> Monitor people's browsing.

> Use AI to detect unacceptable politics.

> Abolish encryption.

Seems like someone trying a reductio ad absurdum.

		it's funny, because next to the politics it's the AI-first enthusiasm that drives people away from that distro :-/
