No better time to get the word out than when fascism has its tentacles around every aspect of our lives. I'd rather shoot for the stars and land on the moon, than ride out my life surviving fascism. Plenty of other countries get it. They just need the Western war machine to collapse, which it is.

Well, yes, but…what does this have to with AI? Apologies, maybe I’m reading this wrong, but are you saying AI eliminating jobs = fighting fascism?

I’m just trying to follow your line of thinking, which seems to be extremely backwards. Let’s try another angle. THIS is not “fighting fascism.” Or good for anyone. Agree or disagree?

Agree. Supporting AI is not fighting fascism. Losing jobs under fascism is not fighting fascism. In capitalism/fascism, we are only able to survive through our value as laborers. This is the context we're in. Which is why I said, "too bad this isn't under a different context."

In a sane system, less jobs (reducing the labor burden on society) would be great, and an actual goal. In capitalism/fascism, less jobs just means more poverty and reduced public health outcomes. Free markets don't allow for labor reduction. It means less resources to exploit to make the CEOs rich.

Okay, but we’re currently IN capitalism/fascism. So eliminating jobs does what to help combat that? Look, I’m all for reducing the labor burden on society, but…again, not happening. We’re reducing jobs AND adding pressure to the unemployed resources (i.e. people), and CEOs are doing better than ever
