This is so bizarre, this is the same dynamic that happened in the
Occupy movement.

Here's my argument:  You can't get rid of the drama because you're
already in a nation-state that murders people in your name.   A
nation-state that is clinically bi-polar, sociopathic with episodes of
psychopathology.   Hackerspaces I see as a sort of sancutary against
the madness, but when money comes up, so does its history that's been
swept under the rug.
