    Well I'm off to the panto anyway. Enjoy the red dot, slave.

  4. Consider stepping back for a moment and reflecting. You have been working a couple of themes for a while. Think of the big picture. Think systemically. That is, how will a particular group respond to a planned, at least encouraged, change in the status quo?

    The first theme is "wage theft". I like this characterization to explain the many decades of falling wages of the working class relative to cost of living.

    The second, related theme is there will be consequences to those benefitting from this wage theft, which you are apparently expecting to increase dramatically during the upcoming Trump administration.


    A few questions and considerations:

    1. Why the push now, especially considering this wage theft has been going on for so long, including Biden, Obama, and Clinton Administrations?

    2. Any attack against the elite is likely to be considered organized, either directly or indirectly, due to the way social and news media is reacting. This will likely manifest in a quicker, more decisive response than perceived by any organizers.

    3. AI intelligence will surpass human intelligence capabilities in 2025, assuming it has not done so already. Considering potential targets have the greatest resources in regards to AI, is it not reasonable that countermeasures for a variety of senarios be developed much quicker than normal escalation development?

    4. Off the top of my head, there are several categories of defensive responses: Micro, Macro, and existential. Existential can be applied to micro and macro, of course. Existential includes actions that are less than lethal, such as isolation of a resource.

    5. The application of said defensive responses will likely cause self fulfilling Leftist prophesy, or at least fear, of Fascism. Wouldn't that be ironic? Anecdotally, I've felt pressure to "Go right, young man", because of toxic Leftist rhetoric, in spite of me really not fitting in with Conversatives.


    Over a year ago, I posted the key for us, as a species, to sucessfully navigate the AI Age, is to be nice to each other. This applies domestically and in International relations. Instead, the three groups of people, the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Israelis, with the highest IQs, are involved in wars. What is the outlook for the rest of us, lesser humans?

    Within the currently most influential country, the United States, the Left is poised to launch an pollically related offensive on three fronts, at least from what I've gathered so far. Both the offensive and its effects are easily predictible. Especially by AI.

    We are in an new age and old, obsolete ways of thinking are an assymetrical WMD against our Democracy and the quality of life for our children's future.

    I get that many feel compelled to do something to address long term injustices. But really, it is only during Republican administrations that the Left is willing to take up arms over it. Perhaps it is not really injustice Leftist leaders are concerned about. Rather, it is power.

    Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven, eh?

    Consider giving the Trump Administration a chance by addressing any concerns non violently and refrain from instigating violence.

    No. I like violence. Now I'm off to bed after a hard day prancing about on a panto stage as a fairly violent Marvel superhero. I have to collect somebody at the airport at 4.30am. Reply tomorrow.

    Graft: While Goldman Sachs was in the middle of laying off 1,700 workers in 2013, it decided to spend more than two-thirds of a million dollars on Hillary Clinton. And what did it get for its sizable investment? Very expensive pabulum.
