        Even anti-capitalists have to survive in our capitalist hellscape, and if you can get paid to spread the message that capitalism is bad, all the better.

        To be fair, the ol’ archive/wayback solution is lore by this point. Beyond that, paywall bypassers are available on most devices now. Be the change. 😁

    There is no going back. That’s why we will not survive our technological adolescence.
