It's rich people. AI is the current excuse. I hate this notion that if we got rid of AI we solve the issue. No, the rich people are still there and they'll find a new thing to suck everyone's lives with.
I keep coming back around to it in therapy, but what are we supposed to do?
Nobody is coming to save us.
All I can conclude is all we have is the use of violence to stop their violence against us.
I mean, yea. All those years of hearing being peaceful is what makes change was just propaganda.
-- Malcolm X
Tried and true across history. The rich divide and decimate community to ensure collective action is harder. A general strike could fix things without violence, but that is unlikely in this climate. Change can come from far fewer people with violence, but it’s a bigger gamble.
Look at January 6th as an example. The government feared Trump’s power over his followers too much to prosecute him properly. The GOP all fell in line with him due in large part to fear. Had January 6th not happened, I highly doubt he would have gotten a second crack at the presidency.
I still can't believe the nation looked at Trump and went "yeah lets let the mob boss have a turn" and then decided "you know what, let him have another go" a second time.
Fall of rome wasn't this fuckin' quick or hilarious. I'd link the FriendlyJordies video comparing the recent nonsense with Idiocracy and its almost shot for shot at this point, but he's taken it down as a result of going through the US border for a tour.. What a wild time to be alive...
If no one is coming to save us, no one ks coming to stop us either
There is an entire profession dedicated to stopping violence against capital
I wholeheartedly agree. It’s why I put “Thanks capitalism” because the capitalist system inevitably creates ever richer people at the expense of society.
