funny… had it not been for ‘Karen’ i wouldn’t have taken this detour through Shoshana ‘Surveillance NGO-ism’ Zuboff, and come to realise that she’s batting for the central banks.

she’s straight up telling you that it won’t work, so don’t hold her to it
it’s like Marxists claiming they’re not responsible for the horrors committed in Marxist regimes

... i suddenly wonder if this same structural analysis holds when analysing piketty's capital in the 21st century, which i similarly read back when i didn't have the Aesopian vocab to interpret it...
