      Ripping copper out of the walls to give to the tech companies so they can build AI data centers to keep the economy from collapsing by propping up the AI bubble… And what happens when the bubble collapses?

        Tbh, I’m not expecting the bubble to really “collapse” it’s just gonna pivot deeper into panopticon

        Imo, the real political battle being fought out in the US is between the neoliberals who believe in capitalism with a human face, aka dominance through psychopolitics, and the outright Fascists who would prefer we go back to chattel slavery. And it’s the latter who are winning. They both want the panopticon, it’s just gonna be a matter of how visible the chains are gonna be.
