I share this tweet the other day and I would like to ask if those woke devs on linux projects like debian, or even in bitcoin core are really that powerful with whoever is behind them. And what we can do to run a sudo apt purge woke-devs followed by a sudo apt autoremove?

what "power" are you ascribing to them?
is it the power to affect change in constructive directions?
is it the power to affect destructive intent?
for sure the former is MUCH harder to achieve than the latter.
it seems like the latter is what we're getting...
Less cohesion in the teams building, lower quality software being built, lower diversity of thought among participants in the project.
destruction is a zillion times easier than creation

I am not sure, but it's scary what the consequences may be, I even heard about airports and airplane companies hiring base on "diversity" instead of competence. What do you by destructive intent?

Turns out that if globalists with deep pockets can buy the media, the teachers unions, the "scientific" researchers, hollywood, lobbyists, and intelligence agencies they can also buy up open source devs...
How many heads does the snake have? Can it ever really be stopped?
Or will people have to learn discernment and participate in fighting back to maintain balance?
Who's fault is it really? The globalists? or otherwise good but weak minded people just checking out, escaping into video games, alcohol, and sportsball instead of exercising their agency?

You pointed out a very interesting argument. In the end the masses will always be the masses IMO, we need a new aristocracy with principles that will guide the masses in the right direction. I believe only a return to tradition and religion can bring that.

Always have been and always will be indeed.
How the masses react is as cyclical as the seasons, which is also why religion* has persisted for millenia, the wisdom in scripture is the glass society breaks in-cases of emergency
*I don't like using the term religion as a catch-all, organized religion becomes an institution that can exacerbate the problem. Too many people attend a church as a placebo or to check a box, and many bastardize the teachings altogether, which comes at the expense of actually learning the lessons taught in scripture. I see scripture as the oldest open-source repository and you need to run the code yourself. Tradition is the last-known-good configuration.

Well I think organized religion as the Catholic church is necessary, because when it's not captured like it is now it's the main source of praticing Christian virtues by the masses copying those giving real good examples. I am an anarchist regarding states and govts but not when it's about Christianity. I see for example the medieval times, the best time ever when the catholic church was in its strongest era. I can't see how Christiany can prevail outside or without the Catholic church.

Agree to disagree on all of that, but at-least we do agree on the larger observation.

I am in love with the words of this video. Let's lower our time preference and stack the most sats we can, let's not leave any sat for them. Fuck them all. Buy miners, build nodes!
