Bruh complaining boom boxes in 2025.
Dude would **** his pants if he every came across an actual boombox like this one
These are my sentiments, exactly.
It’s sad and funny how rightwing “anti-establishment” personalities always talk vaguely about one variation of “elites are trying to enslave us,” and yet they refuse to elaborate because; to the extent the claim is actually true (and it is, BTW), it is being carried out by right wing tech oligarchs. And it’s being done largely in the open.
Currently, most spreadsheet violence still has to be carried out by up close and personal human on human violence or the threat of it. Incarceration, evictions, serving warrants, etc. still require a “skill set” usually only posed by a minority (sometimes the majority of a population becomes capable of inflicting face-to-face violence but those are exceptional times e.g periods of genocide and ethnic cleansing, usually tied to war, famine, or other catastrophic events).
But you automate that process and you automate it enough, you get to a point where you can “delete” someone with a drone, a drone directed by a mass surveillance apparatus.
At a certain level of technologically projected private armies, the well being of most people will be in serious jeopardy
Speaking of more “innovation” from global capitalism’s best and brightest.
Granted, the article is full of a lot of “mights” and “coulds.” So the return of something similar to company script is not a done deal.
The Milei government would certainly like to do this (he’d probably prefer 16 hours no OT and 100% of the pay be in straight up company script, but he sees this as the moderate position); however, he wants to float the idea and see how robust the opposition is.
Protests do matter in these situations, the bigger and more determined, the better.
