Never before in history have we had such a powerful class of billionaires wielding so much power over us. They affect everything from our politics to the number of cat videos we receive. They direct the talents of idealistic graduate students towards building stupid shit like killer drones and AI trading algorithms, and they suck up vast amounts of attention that could be directed towards far more beautiful things This is why no house should be without a copy of Billionaires and Guillotines, a new boardgame from my friend @maxhaiven kickstarter.com/projects/plu…

as part of my current "speculative economies" residency at au JUS in Brussels, @maxhaiven will be visiting next week on 28th and 29th. We'll be launching the game and going into conversation on gamification, fascism, and the endless Crusade.

‘Exploitation is rife throughout the entire games supply chain, beginning with the horrific conditions of people compelled to extract the raw materials that go into the (quickly obsolescent) digital devices.’ A real banger this from @maxhaiven tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/rad…

Let's quit this fascist platform and also play games that will surely piss off it's warlord and his disgusting rich fascist friends.
