everyone here should look at the Venus Project. We keep struggling to understand how automation makes sense in a capitalist society. SPOILER: it doesn't. The entire system has to be re-imagined or we perish and the owners flourish (without us).

it's a monster and no one is in control of it. it must be destroyed.

revolution was always the answer. you think they're just going to give up their place at the head of the table? they'll figure out a way to wipe us all out before they do that.

this could be reality right now if we overthrew the owners. who keeps the owners in power? the conservative right. property is an unalienable right to them. what can we do? destroy the conservative right by any means necessary.

perfect is the enemy of good

pretty much. and once you wipe the earth clean of that scum, you step back and let an AI designed by academics in the humanities take over.

I'm old. I've lived a good life. If it means that there are finally posses rounding up conservatives, I might just be ok with it.

i explain that i'm not. also, i'm armed, so bring it.

any means necessary

probably bronies and furries. that's all on the same level of absurdity in my opinion.

if you'd been fighting a useless war of words as long as i have, you would be too. it's okay junior. you'll realize your mistakes one day.

i'm more than willing to employ the guillotine as a tool for change. are you?

there's a very good chance that the same bigots that use the N word are the same enemy as the one that supports the right. JK Rowling is not my enemy though.

I don't agree with that but you're entitled to your opinion.

The system I am actually trying to dismantle is what is oppressing these people, not me. I have my sights set on the big targets and find the trans movement to be a divisive distraction. I have sympathy but it's not really my battle. My battle is one that affects all of us, not just some of us.

meanwhile, i'll be over here not caring what pronoun you use for me. see how easy that is?

but being apathetic towards the dignity of others is not how you topple capitalism.

exactly. you do that with guns. toughen up, cupcake.

It doesn't take much effort to spot black people. I know how to treat them with respect because that's easy. Again, I'm just lazy a little spiteful. Sorry not sorry.

guilty as charged. I'm an equal opportunity asshole these days and don't really care. no one is going to help change the things that are important to me, so I'm really not interested in your sad song.

I like calling everyone Carl, lol.

IDK, to me it's not that much different than trying to keep someone's religious denomination straight. I really just don't care what particular branch of stupid you're into.

But hey, that's me, a cys white male living their life oblivious to your personal struggle. Fuck me, am I right? If you want to have a conversation about toppling capitalism, you might get my attention.
