"- the progressive anti-monopoly movement [...] were able to best their coalitional rivals because they did the hard work of winning support for the idea of shattering corporate power itself – not just arguing that corporate power was bad when it was used against them.
This was a slower, harder road than dividing up the world into good monopolies and bad ones, but it paid off. Today [...] their ideas have spread far and wide..."
There are no good bad guys.

This is what I mean when I say that politicians are supposed to be lobbyists for the people: Not only should they not be so easily swayed by corporate marketing blitzes - it's literally their job to stand firm on the public's interests in face of such efforts.
Corporate lobbyists are - again, quite literally - their adversaries & we have to start yeeting every pol who doesnt't treat them as such.

They're not working to bring automation to everyday life - they're working to normalize Reverse Centaurs*.
They want you to applaud exploitation & slavery; robotization is the facade they slap on it to give you plausible deniability, not least to yourself.
They are monsters & they want YOU to be a monster, too.

"The collapse of the #AI bubble is going to be ugly. Seven AI companies currently account for more than a third of the #StockMarket, and they endlessly pass around the same $100bn IOU.
AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a #finance sector and #tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

"“There is no alternative” is a cheap rhetorical sleight. It’s a demand dressed up as an observation. “There is no alternative” means: “Stop trying to think of an alternative.”
I’m a science-fiction writer – my job is to think of a dozen alternatives before breakfast."
