everyone here should look at the Venus Project. We keep struggling to understand how automation makes sense in a capitalist society. SPOILER: it doesn't. The entire system has to be re-imagined or we perish and the owners flourish (without us).

it's a monster and no one is in control of it. it must be destroyed.

revolution was always the answer. you think they're just going to give up their place at the head of the table? they'll figure out a way to wipe us all out before they do that.

this could be reality right now if we overthrew the owners. who keeps the owners in power? the conservative right. property is an unalienable right to them. what can we do? destroy the conservative right by any means necessary.

pretty much. and once you wipe the earth clean of that scum, you step back and let an AI designed by academics in the humanities take over.

I'm old. I've lived a good life. If it means that there are finally posses rounding up conservatives, I might just be ok with it.

probably bronies and furries. that's all on the same level of absurdity in my opinion.

The Trolley Dilemma, with Conservatives (lemmy.world)
 

The conversation that seems so hard to have:

We are at a crossroads. One path leads to an eco-dystopia in which most of us become slaves to the 1%, vs. another path that leads to a futurist utopia in which we focus on solutions that benefit all of mankind and all the other lifeforms on the planet.

It seems like an easy choice except for that 43% of the american population that has been duped into fighting to make sure we end up in the dystopia because jesus and guns or whatever.

Is this not a simple trolley dilemma? When do we realize that we have to pull the switch? There's a way out of this that most of us don't seem to want to recognize. I've watched politics for over 30 years first person, and I don't see playing the simple democracy game getting us anywhere. I think we need to resort to more despicable measures. Does anyone agree?

How Do You Possibly Use These Forums For Discussion When (lemmy.world)
 

You can't even speak frankly here. I came to Lemmy because I was tired of being censored by Reddit, but it seems like this place is just as restrictive on speech as Reddit was.

People, if we are going to talk about systemic change for a better world, violence has to be a tool in the toolbox.
