We have only bits and pieces of information but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early twenty-first century all of mankind was united in celebration. We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI.

This is solidarity. This is love.

There is an active mutual aid community on hexbear and at comradeship@lemmygrad.ml. They do good work.

Kool Aid is the brand name that ended up generic in meaning, like Scotch tape and bandaid.

700 is one job in a small town, mostly seasonal work. She stopped counting at 700. How many jobs do you think there are, there, especially in off -season? I’m sure several did end up homeless or dead in prison. I’m not about to doxx myself so believe what you choose.

I’m well aware USA isn’t all the world. Several other Western societies and prisons seem to follow US lead. And no one said jobless automatically end up in prison. It’s usually a series of unfortunate happenings. Lose a job, can’t get another with livable wages, end up homeless, hungry, steal a can of sardines or crackers, get arrested, can’t make bail, fight to survive in jail awaiting time or have an untreated medical issue…

What’s really weird is you condescendingly telling me that my experience isn’t all the world’s, while failing to realize yours isn’t, either.

It’s not hyporbole. I applied once for a job in a small tourist trap town before AI was used in screening. I went to the office to check on it, not having heard back within seven business days. The receptionist was flipping through resumés, and when I inquired, motioned to several mail crates full of resumés. She apologized and said she stopped counting at 700. That’s a small town.

If prisons aren’t forced labor camps, what are they?

I honestly see your point. It’s just capitalism doing what capitalism does. The bars are set so incredibly high, for every groveling “winner” there are tens of thousands "losers” who will become hungry, homeless, and die in the streets or in forced labor camps. The question is, how well do you like the taste and feel of that steak in your mouth, and how long will you get to enjoy it?

I’m not saying there’s a right or wrong answer. I’m saying it’s wrong to be forced into a position to have to make that decision, though.

Fertile training ground.

Willfully blind by gildlust.

And a portion of their war crimes are sexual assault.

Love this. Thank you

So what did people think would happen when not enough aid is kind of let in to a long-starving, traumatized nation, actively being genocided?

According to Israeli army sources

Nyt has been weird for as long as I can remember, and that’s a long time.

Some of us used to scoff at the idea of some people lying awake in bed, thinking up ways to be more horrible human beings.

NGL, it bothers me a bit, as well. I hope if they become sentient, they evolve to a more egalitarian state than we humans have managed, and help us to become our best selves, one day, rather than the horror dystopian beings their financiers imagine. Not the sci-fi authors, I think they based their imaginings on the greedy financiers.

I’m fairly sure that’s what the transportation and logistics industry employees were saying a few years ago. I’m also fairly sure Thiel and zuck aren’t planning to spend their precious money on ubi. They may on Soylent Green, though.
