A.I. is a useful con that enables the ruling class to threaten workers with replacement, thus suppressing wages, while annexing municipal resources and providing a useful gimmick for selling technological snake oil.

Culturally we need to start correctly identifying tech barons as parasites on public innovation and infrastructure who also steal from the intellectual and physical labor of their employees. They are not smart. They are audacious and ruthlessly selfish to a nation-destroying degree.

Crypto’s primary purpose is for illicit transactions and investments outside of national oversight or taxation (aka the black market). It also works as a gambling ring easily manipulated by its creators and largest investors. The House Always Wins.

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.

People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.

It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.
