  • Americans are lazy, entitled, and careless- that much is indisputable fact. But it is also true that these characteristics are acculturated and not individual moral failings.

    We are long away from a general strike in the US given the attitude of the average american and the complete lack of class consciousness / solidarity. What’s likely is that the Dems will seize some electoral power back, and much of the current political fervor will die- as it usually does. And then the republican party, emboldened by Trump proving that they can just do whatever they want, will come back with a competent figurehead.

    The idea of an impending civil war is very optimistic given the fact that there’s been 0 opposition to right wing policy or even the recent city wide military occupations. We have a militarized fascist force quite literally kidnapping people from their jobs and homes while the most heavily armed populace in the world stands back and watches, slacked jawed- and I’m supposed to believe there will be a domestic war? This is a bridge I will not buy.

    Conditions will have to get much worse in the united states before people finally take meaningful action (non electoral, potentially violent), the good news is that we have 3 more years for that reality to come to pass and Trumps bad optics (the only thing that actually bothers americans) are bringing the future’s inevitability to today’s doorstep.





  • Trust that I agree with you on this, I use the word “master” intentionally though- as we are subjected to their whims without any say in the matter.

    There are also many of us who are (unwittingly) dependent or addicted to their products / services. You and I both know plenty of people who give into almost every impulse incentivized by these products, especially when in the form of entertainment.

    Our communities are now choc full of slaves and solicitors- a master is an enemy yes, but only when his slaves know who owns them.


  • It will be as bad as it is now with an even higher intensity.

    We will see it continue to be used as a substitute for research, learning, critical or even surface level thinking, and interpersonal relationships.

    If and when our masters create an AI that is actually intelligent, and maybe even sentient as depicted in movies- it will be a thing that provides biased judgments behind a veneer of perceived objectivity due to its artificial nature. People will see it as a persona completely divorced from the prejudices of its creators as they do now with chat GPT. And who ever can influence this new “objective” truth will wield considerable power.
