a real lack of systemic thinking in this analysis here. this is the 'personal carbon footprint' logic applied to social relations

Similar to that example nobody cared when vulnerable populations were suffering from the effects, but now it's affecting the PMC it's a top priority.

AI is fine but you should feel bad about getting a coffee in the morning.

It's fine were kicking in doors at leftist political meetings but Braylen Whitacker got turned down for prom so people need to be more empathetic.

Yeah agreed, this kind of social alienation is fully acceptable to capital and bourgeois sentiment until it starts materially affecting lives and The Economy. I think we've reached that threshold now. Charlie kirk and Brian Thompson and the attempt on Trump got a lot of people shook.
