  • And the companies that use organic slave labor will still be outcompeted by the companies that use machine labor. Machines do not die. Machines do not get sick. Machines do not grow old. If a manipulator or actuator becomes damaged, it can be repaired or replaced. Not only is AI improving rapidly, the robots grow ever more sophisticated and advanced. Then there will be no need for the poor to exist at all.

  • Today, over 3 million people stood up to the billionaire-backed hostile government takeover.

  • That's an incredible show of force. Imagine if they could all be brought into DC. The police and military would be overwhelmed, especially if they were organized and given clear roles with clear objectives and steps. This is a movement that ActBlue needs to be kept away from. We keep lists, but not for fundraising, for activating them into action. Giving money is not action. Registering voters is action, canvassing is action, helping our communities is action. That's what this movement should be. Just action, and achieving a goal.

  • So they might keep some of the impoverished around to make sure that they can keep the genetic pool diverse.

    And as a source of replacement organs, tissues, and fluids when they reach advanced age. After all, they're stripping everything else for parts, who to say they'll stop just before putting poors under the knife to strip us for parts?

  • California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs

  • Part of the reason Texas hasn't seceded is because they know they couldn't pull it off on their own. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, and Louisiana know if any of them decided to throw their lot in with Texas, they'd all end up being Texas's vassal states, with Texas extracting resources, wealth, and economic output at a far more brutal level than anything the US ever did. Abbot would demand hasher and harsher tributes, while giving nothing back.

  • Danes are the sons and daughters of the greatest monster slayer to ever have maybe actually been real, Beowulf. Perhaps they shall come to slay our "Grendel", as their forefather did for King Hrothgar, so long ago.

  • Mark Cuban Says a 'Red Rural Recession' Is Coming Soon. Cuts, Firings, and Grant Cancellations Are Set to Wreck Small Town Economies

    Jump

  • I mean, there comes a point where objective reality wins out. No matter what lies faux tells them, Trump tells them, or they tell themselves, reality will smack them all in the face and they will know.

  • We are so cooked

  • As one stuck in Cheetoland, I deeply apologize for what he's doing despite the efforts that had been undertaken to stop him and if he does end up attempting to annex your nation, I want you to know I preemptively surrender and defect to the Canadian Armed Forces.

  • Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) just began a filibuster - Live Stream

  • This. I've been learning about how to think like a dissident, and in this movement, there can be no purity testing. You're either against Trump and his agenda, or you're not. The purity testing can come after the clear and present danger that is Trump and his agenda has been dealt with, and not a second before. Until then, we are all in this together.

  • I mean, these guys are getting all their ideas from Curtis Yarvin. The oligarchs are going to build large city-states that use shitcoins for money and have omnipresent surveillance apparatus, with full control over resources and utilities. They'll have private security as well as the entire US military on speed dial in the case of an uprising(See: Battle of Blair Mountain). Hundreds if not thousands of petty fiefdoms where a monarch-like CEO is in charge and everyone else is an employee of the company/government. The only job likely to available is running on giant hamster wheels to power a giant shitcoin mining rig.

  • "Heads should roll": Congress erupts over Trump administration's Signal leak

  • This was literally in the instructional videos that Heritage made for new Trump staffers under Project2025. To do as little as possible that complies with the Federal Records Act. This is that video.

  • Problem with a lot of those companies is how long they can remain privately funded and stay in business. The modern capitalistic markets inherently select for short term thinking. Think about this. Does it make any sense to destroy 90% of your profitability in 5 years to get a 20% boost in profits next quarter? In modern capitalistic markets it does, because that's 20% more profit with which to capture more market share. That's where the competition is.

  • Bernie Sanders, AOC rally crowd of 30,000 in Denver’s Civic Center

  • Exactly. As horrific as the Kent State Massacre was, it changed people's perceptions of the anti-war protestors. Suddenly these weren't just a bunch of whiny kids who didn't want to get drafted, these were people who didn't want to die senseless deaths. Imagine if the Kent State Massacre never happened and the protest carried on without incident. Nothing would have changed.

  • Well damn, we got nomad clans. Is that cyberpunk enough?

    Jump

  • True. But in America we absolutely have, to the point where Millennial adults end up buying RVs and campers to be able to live in their parent's backyards with some modicum of privacy. Honestly I could see a bunch of these types of people pooling money together to buy campers, RVs, or even trucks with cargo containers converted into the kinds of facilities a society needs to function, camping where the work is and moving on when the work runs out. And it's not even a new idea. Traveling shows and carnivals were a thing way back in the day, and for the religious, traveling preachers are still a thing.

  • I mean the article calls them the "mobile homeless" because the only place the have left to live is their cars. What is that if not a nomad?

  • Well damn, we got nomad clans. Is that cyberpunk enough?

    Jump

  • True. Society is too atomized and hyperindividualized for the "mobile homeless" as this article calls them, to come together and form the roving bands that we see in Pondsmith's vision of Cyberpunk.

  • Yep. They basically never recovered from that 3rd bong hit they took in their freshman year of college and think because they've read the likes of Bastiat, Friedman, von Mises, Rand, and Rothbard they know everything.

  • Not just the military. I draw your attention to this, emphasis mine

    (a) In General. Process—other than a summons under Rule 4 or a subpoena under Rule 45 —must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.

    Section (b) says:

    Enforcing Orders: Committing for Civil Contempt. An order committing a person for civil contempt of a decree or injunction issued to enforce federal law may be served and enforced in any district. Any other order in a civil-contempt proceeding may be served only in the state where the issuing court is located or elsewhere in the United States within 100 miles from where the order was issued.

    The line:

    a person specially appointed for that purpose.

    is interesting because it does not specify who is qualified to be appointed. Now, I am concerned that this language means that Judge Boasberg may only appoint one person, but if he seems it necessary, he could probably get away with appointing more.
