      If there’s one thing I’ve come to the hard conclusion of in the last couple months it’s this. People don’t change shit and will put up with a lot of bullshit until it seriously negatively impacts their quality of life. How does that take shape in capitalism? Everything is fucking expensive. Then things start to change for the better. There is no room for another bailout, the government is bankrupt, it’s debt from wall to wall. The change is happening, AI is like crack cocaine for the demise of capitalism.

        this is basically accelerationism, and I think it would make a lot more sense if major decisions were mostly made by consumers … but that’s unfortunately not how most decisions are made

        you can’t ignore the structure and function of power in society - you’re just engaging in victim blaming because of your ignorance of how society is actually molded and influenced
