@ajsadauskas @australia Virtually all of our newspapers in the US either applaud the Alt-Right or appeal to both sides (when one party let it slip they want to eradicate Trans people, they stopped having a side.)

The number of newspapers and magazines that support the left are dwindling and facing closure or buyout. Television is facing a similar capture by the right thanks to runaway mergers and sales.

@ajsadauskas @technology Amazing that his vision for the future is just being a "dude with a website". Someone putting WordPress, PHPbb, TinyWebGallery, and Elgg on a expensive colocated server and simply branding all of them as his. Visit the xBlog, talk on xBoards, shoot some xPics and use X for social media.

Don't even need any vision or motto: "Whatever you do, do it on X, not some other lame and inferior place I don't run." It was a stupid plan then, and it's stupid now. Countless Web 2.0 dudes had the same plan, and it always fell apart when it became "only my friends are here. How the heck do I monetize this without looking like an ass?"

What makes it dangerous is involving other people's money; the banking crap is still his end goal. (Could care less about sub fees, that’s caveat emptor. But checking and savings accounts when something goes wrong ruins people’s lives.)
