    i agree that it sucks.

    my take on it is probably in line with a lot of the community, we're already on the road of capitalist acceleration so this is nearly just another speedup. it sucks but it doesn't change the trajectory of history.

    maybe its cope idk

      There's no accelerationist benefit to dismantling labor unions, at least not any that could be foreseen. Unions are exactly the infrastructure needed to respond to the opportunities created by "acceleration."

        im not saying its a benefit, im saying thats the direction usa is headed to: instability, fascism, late-stage capitalism.

        i don't think anybody is saying there's a benefit. i think the point is is this is/was inevitable and unpreventable, and we've just accelerated towards it now.
