1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

You can see right now the Epstein-adjacent sex pest technofascists desperately and relentlessly trying to pull the same shit with generative AI, painting opposition as having complex and weird problems with it.

Capitalists managed to turn a very simple and *completely normal* problem with automation, into the popular conception of luddites, to the point where they convinced people it's weird to not want to come home missing limbs for a fraction of the wages you deserve.

"I produce 10x more than I did last year but still make the same money. And the machine I now use eats human fingers. Who the fuck is benefiting here?"
Not a difficult issue, not a weird position for a person to have.

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?"
The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Hi all,
I'm going to need some help making sure I can make rent next month. My progress is still going slowly and my ability to work is still not great, so I'm concerned about making ends meet as winter approaches. We appreciate any and all help! Thank you all!

It's my birthday and all that. Time to update the bio. Getting BBQ and hanging with my sibling @kobanya.bsky.social, who conspired with friends to make a very sweet birthday present. So, I'm just going to chill today. :3

Reading this Amicus Brief is NOT clearing anything up! The speech in question isn't 'general' and 'untargeted', unless I truly do not understand the legal usage of those terms. This isn't about children debating whether trans people exist, or saying "I think being transgender is wrong."

Just a reminder that until 1974, US women could be refused bank accounts because they were not men.
Seems like pointing out now that payment processors are deciding who gets to have access to money based on puritanical fascist values, and will also share anything they want with authorities.
