What is it about masks that makes people just lose it for no reason? Why is a small piece of cloth the last straw that people can't handle?

Because the masks are at the end about group identity as almost anything about politics. Only a very small percentage of people actually produce ideologies, all the other ones use it to form an identitty. The masks are an easy identifier ("You're wearing a mask? You're a normie! a liberal! a communist!") and it allows yourself to feel so much better about yourself, since you aren't fooled by Bill Gates and you're so much more intelligent than all other people. Something different like talking about different systems of morals is much more difficult and it's less easy to abuse it for fast identity marking, that's why the masks are so perfect: they're visible (you don't have to ask a person for their actualy political opinions, you just assume them with the masks) and not wearing them can be used as a political statement.
Of course other political groups aren't immune to such behaviour. It's the same way people signal their progressivness by putting pronouns in their Twitter bio. It makes them feel good and they think they're a better person now. Furthermore you can woke scold people on Twitter for using the "wrong" pronouns. It's again an easy identity marker and takes much less effort than let's say doing activism against child labour in third world countries.
Yes, it's the same for me. Even though as other people already pointed out some of his historical observations are just plainly wrong. Furthermore in certain places he makes veeery big leaps to justify his ideology. He often cites criminal statistics of Britain and claims that Western cities suffer much more from criminality than in the past. This is only true if you ignore certain historical factors + in many cities it isn't even true. Some countries today are safer than ever in known history, but well, never allow ambiguity for the ideology you're crafting.
He's an programmer, yes. And he was involved in the creation of Urbit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbit
As you said he suffers from a problem many smart people have: too focused on one thing and ignoring other things + a severe lack of practice (Look at Marx, that guy never really worked in his entire life). Furthermore I think that Moldbug has some autism, at least the few interviews I've seen so far from him hint at this. Nothing against autists, but I really don't think it's a good idea to let autists forge political systems for us.

Because Trump said so. That’s literally it. If Trump had told them to wear masks they would and would probably scream about you killing little old ladies if you pulled yours down to take a drink.
These are the same ppl who are against abortion because their pastors say so, and are all in for guns cause the NRA says so. Why would they start thinking now?

I'm not even sure what to say about a man who engraves Donald Trump's name on a gun.

Someone didn't hear those "due process later" comments he made a couple of years ago, I guess.

Either that's a troll or a hilarious typo in the title, or both.

John Smith is registered in multiple cities in all fifty states, and people still say there was no fraud.

O is pretty far from E on your regular keyboard. He may just have PEDOS on the mind.

I'm also fairly certain that the safe harbor deadline doesn't mean what he thinks it means. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure that if the vote is certified before that deadline, then that's the vote as it stands unless litigation undoes the certification, so if these lawsuits are still ongoing as of Dec 8, then the certified votes stand. If the certification is NOT complete by that deadline, due to litigation or some other reason, then it goes to state legislatures. Someone with more knowledge of election law can probably clear that up

Lol I figured I'd look into Crowder (1987-07-07), as he'll be a great example case. It looks like he currently lives in Plano, Texas. He previously lived in Michigan.
He's still registered to vote in Michigan in postcode 49506. Not sure how to verify if an absentee ballot was sent out or not, but, personally... if you want to avoid someone voting as you for the lulz of cancelling out Steven Crowder's vote, maybe cancel your old voter registration, hmm?

I have over 100 GB of election data that I need to analysis. To catch the Bidencrats' massive, massive fraud, I need you send me £56 000 to buy most powerful computer known to man, the Apple Mac Pro. Hopefully a kind businessman who no longer need their machine could donate it to me, for the children's sake.

Given how obsessed Qboomers are with pedos, it's amazing that they can type "pedes" at all without their fingers going on autopilot to the O after P-E-D.

Look, this makes perfect sense to me. For each state, she needs to create 49 columns with VLOOKUPs to look at the other state's data to see if 'JOHN SMITH' registered there too. You can't see that on screen with a mere 4K monitor, let alone run the calculations in a single Excel file.

Gosh darn, a whole 100GB of data? If only there were some mechanism for dealing with large, tabular datasets. Something that didn’t require a supercomputer to run. Some sort of query language, perhaps a structured one. The sort of thing that could run on literally any piece of shit and do things 10000x faster than Excel.
Man, if only something like that existed, I bet Oracle would pay a fortune for it.

I thought MAGApede was a reference to The Human Centipede and referenced their habit of getting their opinions by sucking the shit out of each other's assholes.
