My sources tell me Trump wanted to "eat lunch on the rooftop like in anime" but the door broke, so now they are waiting for the fire truck to come get them down

Calling your own post "a really good point" in the title is so funny

I just saw one of those creepy automatically AI-translated reddit threads turn "you know a lot about fu cha" into "you are a fucking piece of shit"

Sadly, projecting modern ideas of nations and nationalism way into the past is extremely common basically all over the political spectrum, in my experience. It goes to show just how deeply entrenched nationalism is in our societies.

I just remembered how in my first year of English classes, the teacher taught us to use "how do you do" as if it was a normal greeting. What a twisted little prank.

I am using a conception of class consciousness that includes the class in question understanding of what they objectively need to do to end their class conflicts permanently. This is impossible for the bourgeoisie, but it does not stop them from trying.

Currently, some of the beliefs that fulfill this role are ✨Progress✨ towards such abundance that the working class is permanently contented, or that systems other than liberal democracies are simply impossible now. These take considerable effort to believe in.

AI offers another solution where comparatively simple technological progress, through a "singularity" or in a more traditional way, can replace workers gradually but completely. There is no reason to believe this, but I claim the leap of faith required is qualitatively different.

One view of this is that AI is ideologically very attractive to the bourgeoisie, beyond just some potential superprofits, because it makes possible a false class consciousness that is superior to the old one. It moves the prospect of the bourgeoisie "winning the class war" from an abstract theoretical impossibility to a practical impossibility, which is way easier to handwave away. For this purpose, the actual reality of the software matters less than the idea of it.
