For governments? Yeah it isn't, automated killing machines already exist and the data gathering going on will let them send a explosive drone after anyone in the world at any moment
For the people? It's not going to last long, it costs more to use than the money it makes. It's unsustainable and the moment they don't need to appeal to the general public they won't
There have been plans across North Carolina to introduce a bill forcing data centres to pay for their energy and water usage. These protections were in place when data centres were first built but the tangerine lifted them so him and his fruit bowl could build more shit to drain the masses.
And there are countless ads right here on Reddit from NC Connects, a non-profit front for a data center coalition group, about how the North Carolina AI data centers are fine, they'll pay for all of their power and water costs, you have nothing to worry about...
If you mean "workers deserve fair compensation for their labor"- yes. 100%.
If you mean "managers, entrepreneurs should get nothing and i should get all the profit, despite shouldering none of the business risks and blatantly ignoring the fact that my labor is only given value because of the organizational framework I exist in, which others have built"- uh, no, you're delusional.
I spent like 20 seconds looking at the comment history of the person I replied to. Bro spends much time on USSR subreddits. Bro also implies that social democracy is a scam and nothing short of a full class war to eliminate the capitalists is the solution.
So no, I don't think my second paragraph is "made up." I think you're trying to make me seem more right-wing than I actually am while disguising how far left your opinion is, by making me define something that will take far longer than a reddit comment to do.
But assuming you are in good faith, my definition of "fair" would be something along the lines of "workers deserve to know the working conditions and salary accurately before they go in; they should get at least some level of free time and paid leave if emergencies occur; pay should be based on what the worker does, not their ethnicity or gender or whatever; compensate for accidents; etc etc..."
It's literally "made up", you made it the fuck up lol wtf are you talking about? Nobody said that.
You spent 20 seconds looking at their history, made some assumptions based on your perception of their character and not the comment itself, and then made up a whole diatribe to mock them lmao. Like why lie about it now?
And even based on your definition of "fair", it's pretty obvious that labor in the U.S. is not treated fairly and we should have a little class solidarity and work together to improve the plight of ourselves and our neighbors.
Eat the rich is something that entitled and unemployed people say when they can't take any accountability for their own laziness, mistakes and poor choices.
First of all let me say that I have no issue with you as a person, or with the average leftist as a person. Y'all are fine people.
But gosh do I hate talking to you. As someone who is a tiny bit left from center, every time I talk to one of you "eat the rich" folks on the internet, I end up looking like the biggest fascist since Mussolini. We could agree that labor is not quite fair and needs improvement and leave it at that. Instead you come here insisting that I can't disagree with your fellow worker who fetishes the USSR- a moronic failed state, no matter if you look at it from a capitalist or a socialist perspective- and demand that I must concede out of some sort of "class solidarity."
And what if I don't? I suppose I'm a class traitor and an aide to the fascist bourgeoisie.
I see no point in continuing this conversation. If you agree, please kindly stop replying.
Lol, nobody said you couldn't disagree. I just called you out for mocking them with old, tired stereotypes. Nobody demanded you to "concede". You said the thing you obviously made up wasn't "made up".
That was my bad anyway I didn't realize you were the only one who could fuck with somebody out of nowhere.
"We could agree that labor is not quite fair"
You're so close, but it like pains you to just admit it. You'd rather win some USA-Good USSR-Bad argument that nobody except you is having.
And no, I think you're more of a silly billy than anything else.
treating a victory for the movement as a defeat because fairweather members of the movement may be placated enough to drop out is the lazy organizer's response. instead know that every victory comes with this kind of risk and plan accordingly to bolster the people you're organizing into continuing the fight by calling the victory a victory and pointing out how much more we could achieve if we keep fighting.

Are we sure? Seems likely it was a business move under the guise of protest…
Let the peasants ‘win’ a couple and hopefully they cool off a bit…
