"vote for my candidate or you're a traitor"?

More like, vote against the conservative-fascist coalition if you don't want the US destroyed. If you're skeptical, we can open up any history book and read about how the German conservative-fascist ruling coalition of the 1930s turned out.

Technically, if we had true AI, then yes, but the LLMs we have right now are build on an unbelievable amount of poverty wage labor. We're talking sweat shops of Kenyans working for $2 an hour. As long as ChatGPT needs an army of wage slaves to function then I refuse to consider it a real AI

Why do we need to get rid of the job of human radio presenter?

Profit motive. When maximizing profit margins are the primary object of the economy, then workers are seen as an unfortunate expense. And so capitalists seek to employee as few workers as possible while also paying them as little as possible.

Real leftists would advocate for socialism.

True, but there are there differing approaches to socialism: MLs want authoritarian socialism (government runs everything), while Democratic Socialists usually want a hybrid of market socialism (co-ops) and government run socialism for needs that free market co-ops cannot address. And then there are libertarian socialists who want only worker owned co-ops and syndicates. Finally, we have SocDems that want indirect socialism where strong regulations and labor protections try to achieve socialist goals through capitalism.

Anyone else think it is super weird how exposing kids to violence is super normalized but parents freak out over nipples?

I feel like if anything should be taboo it should be violence.

Luddites weren't conservatives and they weren't anti technology, they were anti-technology being used to destroy the livelihood of workers rather than being used to improve their lives.

Imagine that AI / robots suddenly made your entire career field obsolete overnight and suddenly you couldn't find a job anywhere. You would be pretty upset, ya? Now imagine being called anti-technology just because you argued that technology should be used to help the workers that are displaced rather than leaving them destitute.

I'm a capitalist.

Do you work for a living? If so, then you aren't part of the capitalist class.

You just described the for-profit mental health crisis which only persists because it is for-profit healthcare is detached from reality

Until we figure out a way to separate political power from wealth, I fear that all forms of wealth disparity will create power disparities that can and will eventually be abused to dismantle democracy.
