Why did Bezos think that going on that interview was a good idea? Because he’s disconnected and deluded as fuck. They all are, surrounded by sycophantic yes men. And then they recreated their yes men, packaged it in machines, and forced them into every facet of our lives without our consent. Is a billionaire’s delusion all that different from AI psychosis?
I, for one, am enjoying everyone tearing into him. They’re scared. Tax the rich is a moderate position.
I can’t speak for the world obviously, just 1 person, but I hold an individual US citizen in the same regard I would an individual Russian citizen: surrounded and bombarded by propaganda and disinformation while being systematically stripped of all ability to change the system around them. I hold no ill will towards anyone drowning in that system, and I hope things change for you.
With that said, in both cases, I think it’s basically impossible for outside forces to help. The change has got to come from within. We have basically infinite examples of how and why outside imposition, even with the best of intent (which it never is, but w/e) just doesn’t work. Good luck, but US citizens gotta clean their own house.
If other places timed it right and waited for economic conditions to get to their absolute worst in the US I think other countries starting peoples revolutions would inspire the US. Were like a tinderbox right now with very little direction of the potential energy.
