politics

This deserve a much longer post, but let me try.

I can't be alone in noticing the big shift in the last 1-2 years in how the ruling class communicates & acts.

I think it's mostly driven by the fact that AI significantly changes the power dynamic between labor and capital; and the ruling class realizes they don't have to play "nice" anymore.

Palestinian Gen0cide was a big catalyst too; because it's been so openly committed and the only way to ignore it has been surfacing supremacist tendencies even many educated people internally carried. A point of no return.

Meanwhile, Microsoft for the first time admitted that AI isn't about productivity but about labor replacement. Anthropic is working with US military. Altman, Zuckerberg kissing Trump's feet. Musk, Thiel, Andreessen, even Brian Armstrong are now openly spreading far-right conspiracy theories.

Callousness is not limited to tech either. Journalism (NYT), healthcare (UHG), education (Col.Uni.); all power players are brazenly attacking the 99%.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. I try to be optimistic, but the direction we're headed is not positive. And again, I'm not talking about a US-specific trend, or elections, or Trump. I think this trend is pretty global.

I think in my lifetime, I've never seen the gap between "the power the left holds" and "the amount of people with leftist tendencies" so massive. We have to admit that the left is sort of powerless, even though Gen Z is overwhelmingly leftist (even those pulled into reactionary side by bro podcasts).
