"AOC proposes funding to deprogram white supremacists"

The problem is: ANY expression of #WhiteIdentity, on which America was originally founded, is equated with #WhiteSupremacy.

There is a coup in progress, initiated long ago, by #BigBrother & #TheMatrix of state capital.

America's founding fathers knew it would be difficult enough forging a nation from different European peoples (English, French, German, Dutch, etc.) of the SAME race, & impossible to include other races, which is why the 1790 Nationalisation Act restricted citizenship to Whites.
By modern standards, the founders were indeed White supremacists, but also had enough sense to know that multi-racial nationhood could never work. And so it has proven.

America never became a genuine nation, but just a bigger, more powerful, mercenary #PatronState than Britain.
This is profoundly important to understand.

America's #FoundingMistake was to equate state & nation.

It is by deceitfully posing as our nation that the state tricks us into loving #BigBrother.
The famous line from Lincoln's #GettysburgAddress, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" was Orwellian newspeak (long before Orwell was born) for "Government of the elites, by the elites, for the elites.

Lincoln, remember, was a lawyer & one of the elite.
America needs a new constitution, written, not by Whites for Whites, as the original was, & repeatedly amended by #BigBro, but by & for ALL American citizens.

The present strategy of divide & rule, which serves the elites, needs to be replaced by one of divide & self-rule.
As in Britain, American democracy is dictated by its elites, which is better than no democracy at all, as in countries like China, but is not nearly good enough.

What Britain & America need now is #GrassrootsDemocracy. https://t.co/HDU5dSbpGm
Britain has always been dominated by power-wielding elites.

As in all civilised countries, the power of the military is now subordinated to those wielding political power, which has two components:

1) Money, which is power in its most versatile form.

2) Moral authority.
These are the 2 forms of power dominate the West & have corrupted evolved human nature, so that instead of serving society at large & its long-term survival, it serves the personal self-interests of its elites, at the expense of society at large & its long-term survival.
The corrupting influence of money is manifest, but rationalised to the extent that we admire the rich simply for being rich, & the richest individuals most of all.

The corrupting influence of moral authority is largely overlooked & all the more pernicious for it.
The state wields moral authority by deceitfully posing as our nation, which is how it tricks us into loving #BigBrother. No need for torture, as in Orwell's depiction of him in 1984.
The Orwellian state also claims a spurious moral authority for itself from having embraced an ideology which goes to the opposite, but equally insane, extremes of Nazi racial ideology, that goes under the names of Post-Racial #Multiculturalism, DIVERSITY, Inclusion & #AntiRacism.
Provided we respect the rule of law & non-violence, individuals as individuals, & every individuals's racial & ethnic identity, we need have no fears of division.

We must reject BigBrother's attempts to unite us in a #NationState, which is not what Britain or America are.
Britain & America are Orwellian constructs, based on lies, deceit & regimes of rewards & intimidation. They are mercenary #PatronStates deceitfully posing as nations, in order to legitimise themselves, their ruling elites & the immense power they wield & abuse.
Why is this not recognised by the academics we look to as authorities on understanding society & the state?

Academics are privileged clients & employees of the state (i.e. #BigBro). That's why.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
