I remember when being in tech was cool (in say 2009). Now it’s just some shitty job to funnel money to these gross creeps.

Fuck this capitalist hellscape. I’m very disappointed in America. Shame on you, America.

[–] sean@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Your disappointment is because you had unrealistic expectations of capitalism in America. This is par the fucking course.

It's a modernization of fascism.

It's still fascism.

But it's also so much worse.

Instead of papers please, it's drones and facial recognition (palantir/thiel). It's killbots and robotic cryptids (optimus/mech dogs). It's ai, algorithms that know you better than you know yourself, disinfo and thought police (Facebook, amazon). It's tracking and controlling what you can buy and where (crypto [crypto is NOT anonymous]). It's a return to slavery and/or elimination of human labor in favor of humanoid machines.

It's absolute control and obedience (all of the above).

I do feel shame. It won't do much good.

Of course, once they decide we're enemies of state, there is no reason not to revolt.

We just need the public to recognize their faces are on the menu next.

In the meantime if we could get some scholars to clean out the inequity in our constitution, maybe even try some non-FPTP electoral system, it might give the rebels something to fight for that isn't Same as the old boss.
