It is difficult to engage in nuanced conversation through this medium. If you are interested, I would be happy to produce a public debate over our disagreements in the hopes of cultivating unity throughout the technocratic resistance. In part II of this series, I discuss how healthy dialogue, rather than dialectical conflict, is the most strategic path forward.

Paranoid much? Wtf it's just an article. Restraining orders on people who say wrong things, not attacks, is like what the snowflakes do.

In your video, for which this essay is a response, you clearly connect the conversation about child labor with libertarians of the Chicago school. While I agree that Milton Friedman was a hypocrite, and his work was twisted to promote the clearly abhorrent practice of liberal colonialism, I felt that your inclusion of this segment pointed to a belief that Derrick's libertarianism was at the root of your assertions concerning child sovereignty. Thus my description of the left/right paradigm as the crux of the issue.

I suggest reading the work of Samuel Konkin III for a better understanding of the left-libertarian perspective which seeks to harmonize the left/right divide. Friedman was not a good example as most left-libertarians feel he compromised the non-aggression principle through the very policy recommendations you mention in the linked video.

So sorry that you feel this way Alison, my intention was to utilize your dispute with Derrick in order to frame my own frustrations in attempting to transcend the left/right paradigm to foster unification within the technocratic resistance. Yes, we disagree about prioritizing ideological principles in deference to unification, but differences within the scene are to be expected. I was complimentary of your work in this essay and expressed validation for your feelings even when we did disagree. It is my hope that those who read Part III agree that it is best to place these seemingly insurmountable disputes on hold and work together by focusing on the areas where we find agreement, but I understand that you are not interested. Good luck on your personal journey.

Thanks for the reply Alison. Perhaps we can engage in healthy dialogue on this platform and I look forward to seeing your response. Did you read Part II and III so you understand the big picture of my analysis?

I dont support "digital child labor" whatever that is. You are an intentional liar. It's sad.

I think what is most sad is you think you have actually done some deep investigative work. You haven't. You're great at connections and guilt by association though.

You still dont reference my written response to you - just like youre not addressing the substance of Dougs - because it debunks your sad bullshit.

Allison, I get that you are getting older and your family doesnt like you and want to hear your vision. I empathize with that. But you should put that energy back into the earth with a prayer. Not let it fuel your rage and misguided causes.

IDGAF about what the government says.

Also, "you have asserted the rights of kids, teens, and adults to participated in consensual labor". Yes, I did. I know there's a bright woman in there, lost in the sadness and anger, but you are not that bright if you think anything in that statment is controversial. Do you understand the word consenual? voluntary? do you see the word force in there anywhere? do you see the word metaverse?

no, but you continue to make shit up with no evidence. And only your increasingly shrinking followers listen or care. Everyone else sees through your victim stance and pearl clutching. Fuck off.
