Really feels like the calm before the storm rn imo. Not sure if I’m just paranoid or anyone else is in agreement

    it does feel dangerous but idk. A reserve army of labor is one thing but how much mass unemployment of formerly well paid people can the economy tolerate?

      The real question is can any industry resist the coercive pressure to to ProfitMax^™℠®© to the point of self destruction?

      It doesn't matter what the economy can take, every capitalist is in it for themselves playing a zero-sum game where you either grow or die.

      AI under capitalism should radicalize everyone. It won’t, but if the world made any sense it would.

      Considering the fact that the bourgeois have gotten away with increasing the price of fucking everything despite wages staying stagnant and blaming it on “inflation”, my hopes for the future have never been lower. Tack on climate change and you have a perfect recipe for neofascism
