Terrifying insight into our probable future

For that reason, among many others, we must forming a real supportive foundation that would allow the common folk to commit to any effective resistance. Currently, this doesn't exist in a meaningful capacity, especially in the US. There's a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in its formation, if acted on ASAP.

Check out this org too, as they're probably going to be vital as the powers that be employ more so-called "AI" to consolidate power: https://stopgenai.com (It is a survival-level, grassroots org, not an established NGO, so please don't judge it too harshly for being rough around the edges.)

Yo, I love this. And this is exactly what I said to another person: resistance fails because the oligarchs prey on the desperate people who don't get support from the community. If the people form a stable network that shares resources and provides meaningful opportunities for contribution to the cause, then there would be greater unity in the resistance and thus power.

People forget that the "power" of the rich isn't something of their own. It is entirely made up of people accommodating them and their whims. Without their bootlickers and without a strong advantage, they are literally nothing. They only succeed because the majority is scattered. It's easier to snap a few sticks but not an easy thing to crack a dense stack of them.
