anarchism, tech, subtooting elsewhere (3) 

This also kind of makes me wonder whether 'tech folks' are just fundamentally the wrong pond to fish in for anarchist movements, despite the subversive potential of the tech, because of the widespread (misguided) belief among nerds in a total understanding of human nature, which is fundamentally incompatible with the anarchist idea that you can only build a foundation and people will have to figure out their own details as they go along
