the only good counterargument to “they should be tried for war crimes” is “we are not at war so they should straight up be tried for murder”

"You say failed states are a result of material realities and social history and the wider international balance of power and miscellaneous shit like that, but I say they're the result of mystical auras that adhere to their inhabitants and their bloodline. I am a very serious no-nonsense statesman."

In America, firms spy on us, right? And they spy on us in ways that are very bad for us. So if you're a nurse, preferentially, hospitals want to hire you as a contractor through an app because that way you're not in a union. It used to be through a staffing agency. Now there's four national apps. They all bill themselves as "Uber for nursing". And because we don't have a privacy law ... every other form of privacy violation is lawful. So they can ask the unregulated data brokers that have these deep dossiers on every person how much credit card debt that nurse is carrying. And the more credit card debt they're holding, and the more overdue it is, the lower the wage they're offered. That's regulatory capture. People who make money by charging a desperation premium to nurses are among the people who help lobby to make sure we don't get a privacy law.

You may remember Amazon had these shops, the "just walk out" shops where you would walk in and fill your basket and just walk out and the Al cameras would do it. There wasn't - there weren't Al cameras. Each camera was being watched by three people in an Indian call centre trying to figure out among them which thing you just put in your basket. You know, "fake it until you make it" and all, but this is literally like three pretend Als in a trenchcoat.
