What I hope happens is we oust him and do some serious work on our systems that prevents stuff like this.
Though the track record of our leaders is pretty depressing, maybe they’re starting to wake up now that we get to see Endgame Capitalism
All he has succeeded in doing is violently ripping the US away from its place at the center of the global hegemony.
Which is not great for those of us in the US, but honestly had to happen, the rest of the world clearly cannot depend on us. Our entire political system is built on honor systems and pinky promises, the rich can do whatever they please and never see accountability.
All our elevators are garbage because the children refuse to mine straight up or down
Had you fooled for a while though, didn’t we? 👉😉👉
“ohhhh we can’t do anything we’re out of majority right now that’s why we’ve done nothing of substance since citizens united passed and made us directly accountable to billionaires”
I think the show Arcane is one of the best examples of commercially released art in recent decades; interestingly, what happened is people actually accused it of using AI where there was none. Also Variety et al did a whole round of balking that anyone would invest in something so frivolous as serious animation for adults
There’s always gonna be Capitalists who try and commodify art, but fundamentally humans are the the only ones who can make NEW insights that resonate with people RIGHT NOW. If AI IS ever able to observe the world and reflect on it and offer something new, in the way humans are, it would still be from their own perspective, not ours.
Right wingers consistently shoot and ram cars into peaceful protestors: I sleep
Random individuals destroy private property of random individuals: REAL SHIT
THIS is terrorism.
I think this might be why I got into competitive online games; it seems like one off the few ways to get everybody at least thinking about it in the same way
My guess is they meant harassment BY 10-17 year olds, it’s well known that the youngest living league player is 26 years old
It’s weird that nobody even considers systemic change as a possibility anymore
I mean obviously we’ll need to hold another election before we can get somebody else in there and even see an opportunity, but if actual accountability were implemented that targets this, if citizens united would stop leaking billionaire influence into our groundwater, you COULD restore faith in America.
I guess the issue is, how possible is any kind of anti-oligarchism policy, when they hold the whole government? And once, IF, we get the chance, is there anyone with the competency to get it implemented? Or will we blow it like we have every time since the reconstruction?
