Trust that I agree with you on this, I use the word "master" intentionally though- as we are subjected to their whims without any say in the matter.

There are also many of us who are (unwittingly) dependent or addicted to their products / services. You and I both know plenty of people who give into almost every impulse incentivized by these products, especially when in the form of entertainment.

Our communities are now choc full of slaves and solicitors- a master is an enemy yes, but only when his slaves know who owns them.

It will be as bad as it is now with an even higher intensity.

We will see it continue to be used as a substitute for research, learning, critical or even surface level thinking, and interpersonal relationships.

If and when our masters create an AI that is actually intelligent, and maybe even sentient as depicted in movies- it will be a thing that provides biased judgments behind a veneer of perceived objectivity due to its artificial nature. People will see it as a persona completely divorced from the prejudices of its creators as they do now with chat GPT. And who ever can influence this new "objective" truth will wield considerable power.

I can forgive him for being a deadbeat father and stealing organs from people who actually deserved to live but the guy ruined my favorite type of shirt and that- I can never let go

These meager and disappointing gains have and only will turn people away.

Some folks will gain class consciousness sure, but then they will become demoralized when the object of their support proves ineffective in an electoral system designed to please private interest, and placate the public into passivity- not push material conditions to new heights.

Even if the purported best case scenario takes place- and material conditions improve for the average person, we will be worse off.

Mass class consciousness in the united states can only be born of political unrest, and that unrest will not come easily if americans are comfortable.

We are not to do nothing however, for now it's best that we continue to grow our own circles both locally and nationally, agitate, and be ready to pull people out of the future's rubble- taking advantage of what is clearly inevitable: amerikkka's self destruction.

Political impotency with praxis paint

Any expected positive outcomes from this are the result of a uniquely american collective amnesia

The best that can be hoped out of this is that the rise in left adjacent electoralism stokes fear in the moderate and fascist right, provoking a tragedy that would do more for class consciousness and solidarity, than years of short lived legislative and electoral gains ever could

Public opinion is finally shifting in the right direction, let's hope the most docile group of people in the world also start to accept that the status quo has been unbridled violence since the dawn of north americas largest tumor, the usa.

I wonder if there's an irony in political violence only being recognized when dispensed by individuals and not when carried out by the usual privately motivated state monopoly, but it would seem par for the course in such an individualistic country.

Wow, thank God we finally know warcrimes are really happening.

Now get this 25 year U.S army green beret dog off my feed and show me someone in the U.S military actually doing something about it.

On September 2, the Instagram account for StopIce.net shared a video identifying a Border Patrol agent involved in a recent Los Angeles area immigration raid and welcoming him to a “wall of shame.” Meta gave the users just 10 days to challenge the subpoena before their information would be released to the government, according to The Intercept.

Exposing the identities of ICE agents on social media only to have the exposure of your own identity threatened by the same platform caving to ICE is an irony befitting what has become the most common, inadequate response to fascist violence in the U.S.

A shared suffering may be what finally unites us in the face of a complete lack of political ambition and class consciousness amongst north american settlers. Something that even I myself have become a slave and solicitor of.

We will have to watch the boots tread, for now.

Not laughing but excited to see the inventible and necessary accelerated.
