Jumping off a post on here I saw yesterday, I also listened to "Last Man in Davos" by TrueAnon, and I gotta say -

Wow, did that make me depressed. Why aren't more people talking about it? I feel like the Nick Landian techno-capital singularity nightmare is just around the corner, and I feel like no one is gonna stop it.

I do think that as time goes on, and it becomes more well known, that many may start to talk about it. But for real, what do you guys think?

    Yes, this is exactly my thinking. I'm very scared that the concern over it will be limited to the right, and cause some sort of right-populist revolt because of the left's inaction.

      A big problem with the western "left" is the contrarian attitude towards anything the right latches on to. You saw this in the UK with Labour lefties supporting remain because they associate brexit with racism, and to some extent with the mainstream left not really caring about the Epstein stuff because they don't want to look like Q weirdos.

      I think if the right, especially mainstream GOP politicians start talking about Great Reset conspiracies and calling it a Communist plot by rootless (((globalists))), it will be considered antisemitic and insane to even mention it. The right will have complete hegemony over criticism and even breadtubers will start to support it for climate change reasons or something. It legit scares me. Like even right now I feel like if you brought it up at a PSL or DSA meeting you'd get weird looks and people will think you're a crank.
