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%.

AI labor replacement keeps me in a permanent state of existential crisis. What far right conspiracy theories is Armstrong shilling?

Honestly AI labor replacement isn't necessarily bad but when pre-existing capital is the only differentiator between people, capital is the only power and hard-work has no value, which is the problem. Armstrong is definitely the more innocent of the bunch. But Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is wildly blown out of proportion - they're painting the admin-process of illiquid, 5x leveraged banks that were being bankrun by its users as if it was a plot.
