Some people have confused technology for magic and believe as a religious belief that technology can overcome any limits to capitalism presented mainly by the environment and resource limits. This in turn will lead to abundance of treats for everyone including the peasants so peasants should be very happy. Therefore vote Democrat. It's basically a con job. There is a big gap between its premise and conclusions. If the people selling this bullshit believe it then they are insane. If they don't believe it then they are pieces of shit.
everyone gets a pony and don't think about the consequences of unfettered captalism DONT 3
It's especially hilarious that they're tying to sell it at this point and time when capitalism is literally imploding. I mean it's not even a new form of pr for capitalist bullshit. This was the promise of the mid ~20th century. It worked for a while when there was an abundance of easily extracted natural resources but now it's just a paycheck for the people selling this crap. It won't catch on. Peoples lived reality will make accepting it impossible. Unless they're trying to make it a cult like Musk did with his businesses. I would say it's too lame to become a cult but Musk became a cult leader so wtf do I know.
