   I... don't know how I feel about this. I mean, the concept, sure, good idea. Is it reliable? Perhaps. But... I get a "buy merch" popup the moment I open the page, and there seems to be a pro option for what seems to be a very much LLM-aided app? ...IDK, rubs off a bit wrong IMO. Just my personal opinion.

      I like the idea of this type of merch that normalizes anti big tech sentiment. But I personally would also opt for something more dramatic, possibly involving a guillotine...on the t shirt I mean

         I think that'd be a pretty weird thing to wear, personally.

            Social media has tuned people to be unable to think in non-hyperbolic ways. To these constantly wound-up people, every problem, no matter how big or small, can only be solved by brutal violence and savagery.

               “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

               -Thomas Jefferson

               I personally think the tree of liberty is probably getting pretty thirsty.

                     It’s been over 150 years since we killed a bunch of tyrants here, and even then a lot of the tyrants got to live.
