Lost narratives lock OG cypherpunks out of reputation capital

[professor rat]

As the world tips over into runaway crypto-anarchist greenhouse it becomes more interested in its cypherpunk antecedents where it quickly learns that - thanks to a stupid conservative called ' Mongo ' this small pioneering group mistook anarchism for techno-fascism ( Austro-libertarianism, Agorism, Voluntaryism, etc ) These technology savants were mostly political morons!

How else to explain why a left-wing utilitarian social-revolutionary movement could ever became mistaken for an elitists crypto-fascist reactionary movement!

Only in the Moronic Inferno - Only in Amerikkka.

Thankfully the error was fully corrected by 2001 when Tim " Mongo " May was openly denounced as an anarcho-phoney to his face. 

The problem was the few the proud the insane that stuck to the original carpetbagging con-artist story became tarred with the same brush.

And their reputations are enduring a similar ' crypto winter ' as Mongo first declared back then. Going by the trajectory of Julian Rand Paul Assange it won't be long before he's even sharing the same grave. 
Fools and their reputation capital are soon parted. 

Cheats never prosper. 

Such is anarchist life.
