I imagine they would make excellent fertilizer.

Plays Circle of Life from Lion King

If we can fight the owners to keep our shitty back breaking jobs and win, we should have fought the owners to rebuild our economy for automation profits to largely benefit the people from the bottom up.

If we the peasant masses even can win against the tiny owner class oligarchs, lets fight for the right thing. And if we can’t win, well then it’s all masturbation anyway and they’ll do what they want.

It’s irrational to fight for “we demand to continue to break our backs making your shit instead of robots so we can continue to subsist on menial laborer wages with broken backs!” in any event. That’s some coal miner excuse for logic.

Automation isn’t the enemy.

As ever, the owner class that hoards and wages economic war on you though automation for their exclusive benefit at their society’s expense are your enemy, whether you would fight them or not.

Arguing that we should “save” back breaking, repetitive unnatural movement, manual labor jobs that break human bodies by the time they’re 40 is the WRONG hill to die on. Fight for the citizenry to reap the benefits of automation through taxation, not to keep shitty jobs robots can do faster and better. Fight to change the economy so that everyone doesn’t need meaningless jobs machines can do better so we can have actual time to live our lives.

Taxing the fuck out of automation would let everyone win, because a heavily taxed robot is still far cheaper for the company than a human or possibly several humans for that one robot would be, so automation is here either way. We can riot to change our economy to benefit from this technology as we should, or we can be steamrolled yet again by the dictates of the affluent who will demand and get all the benefits and none of the responsibility if not confronted and countered on revolutionary terms.

Please pick the former. There’s no dignity or meaning to be had shuffling boxes around in an Amazon warehouse. Begging the owners to let us try to continue to compete with literal purpose built repetitive labor machines is not the way.

Capitalists don’t care about making quality products/services.

They care about squeezing more profit out of you as time goes on.

Time to tag in a ringer…

Hello me!

It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.

Studies have shown a 4 day, 8 hour work week INCREASES weekly productivity, ie money for the owners. WFH doesn’t decease productivity at all.

The owners work against such work life balance because its about keeping you busy and stretched, no time to look up or get your bearings.

…And also schadenfreude, it makes their modern Pharoah, gluttonous, wasteful lifestyles feel all the sweeter squeezing those below them and watching us writhe and squirm.

😂

It won’t just mean high quality ethernet cabling soon.

Agreed. In 5-10 years, the owners who already own fhe means of production/propaganda/state violence will ALSO have armies of multipurpose humanoid robots they’ve used to replace the workforce they exploited and left in poverty defending them from us.

If not now, when? It’s maddening.

I’m voting for Biden. I don’t want the world to burn.

But I also don’t want to hear a single god damned “if only we knew! If only we’d done something! This is such a random act of God!” when a CAT 6 kills millions of people on the Eastern seaboard in the coming decades.

I taunt because people should be more than ready to fight and destroy the market and central bank servers where the people doing for ego score points store their records of power. If it was just me, I’d die and people would laugh and that would be it.

But I say what I say to try to be part of that one in a trillion chance of helping to make enough of us angry enough to do it together. There’s approx 3k billionaires on Earth, and approx 28,000 100 million-plus-inaires on earth obsessed with and powerful enough to burn the world for their ego scores. We need to burn the god damned ego scores and their backups. Full reset.

Until then, they leverage those ego scores to keep us at bay while destroying our habitat. We can stop them, we in all likelyhood won’t, but again, enough angry people have beheaded tyrants. It’s possible… with enough people. Or humanity will just burn 🤷

See that’s the thing, we crow about how “free” we are, but our police are militarized. You don’t get a permit for an ineffectual fake protest that won’t disrupt commerce, and suddenly we are no different than Iran or Hong Kong, and our police WILL kill us for “lawless” actual disruptive protest.

When you cut through the intentional bullshit layers they point to to convince us we’re “free” our capitalist owners are just as willing to kill us to maintain power as Xi or any other totalitarian regime, our totalitarian regime is just a consortium of private shareholders who realized it’s easier to convince their slaves they volunteered through propaganda.

Harder? No, I’m saying getting a permit from those you’re protesting to protest them makes protest here as effective as masturbation.

Protest all you like, just make sure you protest where, when and how the owners who literally use their power/capital hire organizations to write their preferred laws and legally bribe officials to enact them demand you do under threat of the state violence they own. But that isn’t really protest, as protest in the true sense involves disruption. American protest has become permission to stand in a designated corner together and be angry while not disrupting a damned thing, lest it injure our beloved economy.

Protest by the dictates of permit, and especially permit issued by a proxy of the protestee, is the opposite of that, defanged protest.

Protest has become a bad joke here. Get a permit by the state officals that the profiteers own and order around, at a designated protest time, in a designated protest place so as not to disturb the eyelines or profits of those being protested.

That isn’t protest, that’s unmitigated acquiescence. When the oppressors make the laws, and they do here, mass revolt is necessary. The owners let us protest in the above way precisely to completely devalue and depower protest here.

I think it’s important to point out that while voting will stave off some cultural suffering and that’s reason enough, it will do all but nothing to address any of the many greedy profiteer made crises threatening humanity.

So, so many people think their vote IS addressing said crises, while our system is configured to prevent that and it won’t at all. So we can vote and then ALSO revolt, burn the profiteers and stop their quest for reckless, terminal growth/metastasis on a finite world before they burn the planet, our only COMMUNal habitat we all rely on from one breath to the next.

It was pathetic to watch Trump’s idiots attack the profiteer’s paid middle managers in DC in his honor btw, hilariously wrong target Wall Street is a few hundred miles north if you want to affect positive change.

So it is important for people to know that if they do want humanity to have a future that isn’t fighting to survive on a planet we’re turning against ourselves and cant turn back amongst other capitalist stoked dooms of our own species’ making, that yes, go vote, save persecuted groups from being scapegoated by the state by voting Biden, but if you actually want a future for the species, we need to do A LOT more than that small gesture.

But don’t worry, we in all likelyhood won’t, and we’ll all burn with pretty I voted stickers on our chest, is what it is. 🔥

I’ll vote for Biden again, just as I did for Clinton and Obama before.

It’s water pumps on the Titanic though. I do it knowing all it is doing is temporarily staving off some people’s social policy torment as we sink, so it’s worth doing to sleep at night, but it’s solving nothing as both the Neoliberals and fascists take their orders on economic policy from the same owners. We are encouraged to fight over social issues either created by or exacerbated by economic policy we aren’t permitted a vote on. Example, you know what would drastically reduce the numbers of abortions en masse without any kind of ban? Income equity, because abortion is often an ECONOMIC decision for good reason. But we’re left to argue over the symptoms of of our mass economic servitude, not the servitude itself. We don’t get a vote on that short of suicide.

It’s not worth celebrating that we the people have no choice or vote on the economy we need. Climate change is worsening for private profit, dangerous AI tech is worsening for private profit, income, housing, food inequity is worsening for private profit, and the neoliberal, the fascist, and their Congressional tribes refuse to do shit to change that systemic problem.

Remember, grow grow grow! ☠️

Oh wow, nice to meet you.

Always been meaning to ask, why is your craftsmanship shite?
