SXSW has always been consumerist garbage.

Austin is absolutely not a bastion.

It’s a crappy city just like most of them. They only care about others until it fucks with their money.

It’s absolutely not. Texans are delusional.

Yeah… because its patrons can’t realize they’re being herded like sheep on their own.

Oh no. Only wealthy americans are allowed to control their elections.

Yep. They don’t want to solve these problems.

They just want to make themselves and their donors richer as quickly as possible.

Anyone who doesn’t see this is a useful idiot in their scheme.

They’re experimenting with how to build planes as cheaply as possible, and anyone who dies is just collateral damage.
