I find these posts primarily interesting as a sort of demographic heatmap. Like now it has gotten to the point where instead of only chasing their interest of choice (geohot hacking, in this case), this person has become aware of the issue, and been sufficiently motivated to write a post about it.

geohot is pretty deep into the center of the map afaict.

I think this is what struck me as well. Hearing what I can only describe as radical anti-capitalism coming from George Hotz was not what I expected when I opened that link.

That said I have felt the same feelings expressed by Hotz in this post. I commend him for saying it.

It’s not particularly radical is it? Maybe I’m in a bit of a bubble.

Exactly, it’s very mild first steps anti-capitalism. Nothing about class, for example.

A few posts before he shared a story of a black woman Amazon delivery driver caught on camera complaining about delivering to a rich person's large house.

He attributed this to basic monkey psychology and said it led to revolutions where all the rich people get killed and society gets poorer overall.

I read it as mocking poor people, but maybe he was trying to warn the people who get killed in those kinds of revolutions.
