Okay so you're an edgelord who let libs define fundamental words for you, not piece of shit. I can fuck with that.

I categorize basically everything you outlined here under the broad category of 'democracy', but not bourgoise or electoral.

Yeah that would be fucking wild. I'm glad i cant even really imagine what that would be like.

Please dont compare soldiers who would shoot civilians to sex workers. I've only ever met one sex worker who would do that, and even he wouldn't have abdicated agency.

Edit: he would also need to be paid in advance. Paid a lot more than any national guard soldier.

So... Monarchy? Oligarchy? What's your solution?

Because im pretty sure i take offense. How dare you tell me i don't deserve either autonomy or an equal voice in my governance.

No. No there's no civil disagreement on that point. Even the fucking tankies have the pretense of democratic centralism.

The thing is, the way these models are created is inherently conservative. When used they privilege the past, the what-has-come-before.

This is bad. Not that i can't see hypothetical use cases this technology is genuinely good for.

But the hype has completely swamped any real utility they could be put to. The marketing efforts of companies like every-single-corporation-ever have created in many a misunderstanding that borders on religion, and utterly obliterated any genuine public utility for this technology. Like modifying the perameters of reality so every time a scalpel touches solid matter, it explodes in a colossal mushroom cloud, obliteratimg the entire city.

This technology is also being used as a kind of abdication machine. A way to build an unaccountable black box to excuse the poor behavior of the powerful-zionist militants use it to say their bombs target militants, judges use it to call their racist bullshit impartial, cops use it to get warrants without evidence.

The eliza effect convinces people a couple lines of language processing is a person, and convinces many that this shit is a god. Literally. It exposes and exploits mental illness like a network attack script does outdated firewalls. It operates in and upon all the blind spots our sick society requires we maintain, lest we rebel or go mad.

It is an incubator of mental illness, a dehumanizing force, and defender of all abuse. To say nothing of its effects on our collective concept of 'truth', which i cant even start on right now, but suffice to say that it's become thoroughly fucked.

The ways it can and always seems to be applied simultaneously to enshittification and the disciplining of labor are reducing standards of living. It functions very well as a machine for making people accept less.

Maybe a better society of better people could use this as a neat niche tool, a fun toy, and an aid to make some knowledge work go faster.

But every part of who we are and how we are organized makes this shit toxic for us. Maybe even more toxic than the fossil fuels we're burning and water tables we're depleting to run these fucking things.

'Democracy' does not mean 'first past the post election of a single executive agent, pre-vetted by local oligarchs.'

The inability to imagine, see in history, or see in the world today other systems of decision making by the people reads as unimaginative to the point of being disingenuous bad faith bullshit.

The pure carnivores have a way to poop healthy?

If the officers learn that issuing these orders is unwise, the entire artifics of power will balk, and they may stop trying to massacre civilians this way for a few years.

What if you refuse, but the guy next to you already shot a protester?

This administration does not give a shit what the courts or constitution have to say. Do you not remember what these people are protesting? Can you repeat for me, so i know you know?

Why do you think an institution that orders people to shoot unarmed civilians still deserves your faith and respect? That's a genuinely vile level of boot licking.

So it's possible!

I kniw it's fake, thats why i say LARP not reenactment.

Genuinely hoping the smog is thick enough to mitogate this.

Fuck that. dont tell them shit.
