Nerd culture sold out - stock options won out over hacker ethics. What was once an emerging space of digital freedom has become a tightly controlled corporate dystopia, but hey, some of us drive fancy cars now!
Ad hock ethics is clearly insufficient here. Without sensible defenses nerd culture was molded into a tool without its own agency.
Super hero movies have some pseodo-nostalgia fans around me.
I mean, I knew those people when they were kids. They didn't care for super heroes except for like Batman, Spiderman and Power Rangers.
Nothing else was even available for them.
But they talk about obscure characters like, Thor and the Hulk or Cpt. America as they read those as comics or something.

Ah, I see.

If you want people to listen to you and want to spread the values of decentralization and freedom you shouldn't be pouring hot oil on them from your ivory tower and then complain about how they are so dumb to mistreat and misunderstand you.

It seems like a quite common character flaw to not be aware of this. Like, be it subcultures, nationalities or party members that are critiqued for not being coherent or assumed being coherent. But commiting the fallacy about a generation seems even more silly.
