        That’s why they’re speed-running the surveillance state. The billionaires know full well the Overton window is about to shift on them.

          That’s why they want all those massive AI data centers: they’re going to implement fully integrated, pervasive surveillance, and knowing the evil fuckers who are pushing hardest for it, it will not benefit us in any way, it will be used as a tool of oppression.

      damn, just imagine if instead of doing that, they’d exhibited some solidarity(I’m assuming it’s about manufacturing jobs related to cars)?

      I bet if Americans had held strikes in response to layoffs OR chosen not to buy foreign cars back then, today their unions would be stronger and their cars wouldn’t be so… wasteful (in many ways). Sure does suck to suck.
