“Hurting” the elite has always been up to the public.
Teacher strikes and unionization efforts have been winning; the financiers know nothing about self sufficiency. They know they rely literally on someone else to grow the food, kill the steaks.
The white collar public have a credibility problem; they want to be served and not serve themselves.
There is zero reason for most tech workers to login tomorrow; the vast majority will never move the needle. Yet they’ve learned helplessness and don’t know what to do.
We carry on about ills of LLMs hallucinating while westerners hallucinate the they can just do data entry work and someone else will wear out their bodies procuring food.
Our AI is more like us than we want to admit, which is why they’re so terrible.

The mayor elect didn't even support Bernie Sanders lol.
DSA membership has been nosediving for the past 2 years because DSA is effectively an appendage of the Democratic Party.
