The legacy of America has always been genocide, fascism, greed, and domination with a thick smear of propaganda over everything.

Newsom is the capitalist governor in charge of the techbro state, there’s no way he regulates AI effectively.

We have all always had the choice to make politics something that the people do, and not something that is done to us.

But someone making money off of me without my consent is literally slavery. No one is saying that this form of slavery is equivalent to chattel slavery, so I don’t understand how this minimizes that? Do you also think that wage slavery or forced prison labor are not slavery?

Property records won’t tell companies how many people are living at a unit, who they are, how they use the space, when they use the space, how they arrange the furniture, etc., and they don’t provide live data streams from your house.

How about we do it together?

Sorry, but revolution is a far simpler way to stop corporate greed than trying to change everyone’s buying habits.

Why use AI at all? The environmental costs alone should be a dealbreaker.

Capitalism sucks, huh?

Many college degrees (looking at you, biological sciences) don’t even have jobs available for fresh grads. When I graduated I was competing with thousands of others for like 5 jobs in the country. After my internship ran out I was never able to work in the field again.

Schools keep pushing those degrees though because it gives their professors a constant supply of free labor (interning in a lab is usually required to graduate).

Cowbee, you have an amazing ability to defend socialism and explain the same concepts day after day while never allowing frustration or anger to taint your replies. I salute you, comrade. 🖖

Source? Seriously, if you’re going to dispute sources you have to provide a better one.

Ok. Socialism works. How’s that?

The source is the World Bank. They are extremely unlikely to lie about this as their ideology is diametrically opposed to communism.

There’s only a shortage of doctors because the AMA restricts the number of medical colleges so that the number of doctors is artificially kept low so that they continue to make super high wages.

If you’re going to talk about class society, you might as well use the Marxist terms: proletariat, petit-bourgeoisie, and bourgeoise.

I don’t know why everyone is avoiding the Marxist terms, as they are far more accurate than low/middle/upper or whatever people are talking about in this thread.

Those wealthy workers are petit-bourgeoisie. They own enough capital so that they no longer have to struggle in the rat race of capitalism, but not enough to be controlling entire industries or multibillion dollar companies like the bourgeoisie.

Fumes from aviation fuel.

It’s ok to laugh at satire of racists 👍

Show me a single country capable of extracting this oil who cares. There isn’t one. This is a capitalism problem, not a Russia problem.
