an unbiased mediator and administrator of resources that makes logical decisions to benefit all of humanity, able to find patterns that most humans cannot, process data in ways humans cannot, and not driven by petty human emotion? yeah, why would something like that give me hope?
all those things still have the potential to create a better world, and the problem is still the same: the owner class is using them to benefit themselves only. we have to destroy this dystopia by any means necessary. every day we don’t is another day we doom billions to suffer for the benefit of a few.
AI was supposed to save the world.
These sociopaths have taken the only hope i ever thought we had and are going to use it to screw us. I want the money changers out of the temple NOW.
there’s more we can do. united, we can do anything. every great achievement of mankind was because people bound together to accomplish a goal. anybody can organize. governments and corporations don’t have a patent on organization.
we tried that in the early days of the internet. it didn’t work. once grandpa got on facebook, it was over.
look at one of those maps of america showing the red and blue areas. they have an in group that spans the width of the country nearly. we outnumber them but they have an empire of culture.
plus, it’s christian nationalism. they’re not going to give up that position. i’ve been watching it develop for a long time, i only see one way out of it.
but seriously. meaningful legislation is going to get torpedoed by republicans. the most important fight we can fight is to topple all conservative power.
there’s no point in trying to legislate when they know that everything they do will be sabotaged by the opposition.
bingo. who would care what a cretin thinks. now, the next problem is what do you do when they still get a say in what your life and the lives of others will be like?
their value system is completely opposed to ours. there is no point in any kind of good faith debate. they want in groups and out groups. they cannot be reasoned with. drop that entire concept and ask yourself what comes next if the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
i wonder if it’s possible to know where the stage would be set up in advance. i wonder if you could plant explosives that can evade detection.
nobody’s going to do that. i guess we’re all dumb because we don’t like your favorite band. grow up.
you’re a one trick pony. you just say “read marx” and strut around like that meant something. people don’t have to read marx to have valid opinions. i hope you can grow up to discover other things.
i knew that the owner class was the problem all along, and i knew that we needed to topple the owner class in order to utilize these things for their humanitarian benefits. i guess i naively thought people would band together for the hope of a better world. i watched the arab springs and the former soviet states and they gave me hope, but i guess the western world is too weak to do the right thing.
the more and more i watch good people do nothing and listen to arm chair commenters like yourself, the more i think that maybe we deserve this dystopia.
