i think that the future generation who's raised by ai slop made by clankers would end up supporting a future fascist regime in the us.

how do you think this can be solved?

Sure, I think we can have both. I want to move back in the form of no walled gardens , less social media, media that we actually own, no intrusive ads, no data centers, third spaces, arcades. etc

Im not saying we need to destroy our smartphones and go live in a cave. But we need to educate people on all of the good things of the past that were lost, so we can get them back, and create new things.

I often hear even young people say "everything sucks now" which i agree with and try to explain, well, thats because of billionaires.

Im biased because I generally hate new things because they are designed only for greed, and I find nothing wrong with using old things that people think are obsolete because a corporation told them so. Example, people having big regrets that they tossed all their cds and records. I didnt, because I knew corporations would ruin streaming and besides that streaming is basically robbing artists. Thats another discussion lol.

You're confusing the problems of capitalism, and technological development under it, with technological advancement. We need socialism, not a rejection of modern tech, to reshape how we use tech.

I agree.

Ill always just enjoy older tech, I always have! Unfortunately America is never going to latch onto the idea of socialism. Its completely demonized here and people believe you need to work to live or youre lazy.

I disagree, regarding socialism. Everything is in constant motion, and gradual quantitative buildup results in qualitative leaps, like blowing up a balloon and it popping. This is the advantage of dialectical materialism, as imperialism and capitalism decays and the class struggle heightens, the proletariat in the US Empire will gradually come to socialism.

I hope youre right! But the majority of people sadly are uneducated and unwilling to learn in this country.

My guess is late stage capitalism will result in mass starvation and then riots. Then a new system will emerge (hopefully a good one, but thats not usually how humanity does things). I think id guess 30 years that will happen.

People's thoughts depend on the conditions of their existence, already we are seeing a collapse in red scare propagandizing.

I can’t speak to those unwilling to learn, but for those who are, @Cowbee@lemmy.ml is happy to provide reading lists.
