there’s a lot of “if you don’t vote for the establishment party you are throwing your vote away, and trump is 100% directly your fault” rhetorics that are meant to discourage that kind of stuff, but i absolutely do wish people didn’t just give up actually getting behind something that isn’t just a temporary slowdown on the road to corpo fascist dictatorship.

Also the voting thing ignores the failure of electoral reform in preventing the two party system, and divorcing of the peoples intent from policy for the sake of lobbyist and corporate preference.

While more can be done locally, there have been think groups and other money-lead influencers affecting local efforts for as long as the heritage foundation has been supplying fascist mandates to USA presidents.

There were a lot of people trying to make that salient, and decide action in response to it, when suddenly all progressive groups decided the true threat was other progressive groups for some reason, and anyone trying to resolve that or encourage better communication or cooperation between progressive groups is actually secretly supporting the fascists somehow, because we out here dividing ourselves to be conquered.

Issue totally isn’t rich assholes with too much time and money pushing some policy sitting between feudalism, fascism, and whatever the fuck you would call what putin did to Russia.

I’ve been complaining about self segregation and communication issues for decades, and have been chastised/banned from a weird chunk of progressive spaces I’ve interacted with over this exact problem.

I think AI will be really really useful for a lot of things. Not just LLMs for those that only see chatgpt as AI.

That being said, you’re good damn right that no human progress matters when we aren’t allowed to try a system other than "give everything we gain to the people who already have everything.

Technology has given us so much more ability to create and sustain, yet. Even people in wealthier counties have only had their standard of living standards or go down due to enshittification/instrumental convergence and lack of antitrust stopping growth-maximizing tumours from further monopolizing.

We can actually create reliable frameworks for a better society, with More responsive firm of growth that wasn’t built hundreds of years ago when we didn’t have a very good comprehension around some things.

Billionaires should not own the media. Billionaires should not direct text and science research. Billionaires should not be immune from accountability. Groups like the heritage foundation should have long been met with the violence currently being imposed on students, scientists, and actual journalists through the administration.

Making monopolistic power consolidating into a firm of free speech was already a final nail in the neoliberal coffin, splitting people between a fascist cult, people who still haven’t realized that neoliberal performative faux progression is just a wing of the fascists, and both are furiously fighting the left, actual progressives, scientists, historians, and experts in living systems/epistemology, or the actual study of intelligence and what we’ve already been able to learn from it.

On the whole, we can actually conceptualize the proper way to balance systems in a way that appropriately improves the environment for literally everyone. Even billionaires would likely be more happy, just less able to treat the whole of humanity as a play thing.

Not enabling the richest asshole to casually decide a million+ of the poorest should go die because we need trillions in tax cuts for billionaires for some reason.
