It’s not just China.

Even as a GenX, I am seeing today’s wild corporate obsession with AI to be much like a 9.5-Richter thrust-fault earthquake, combined with a zombie apocalypse: despair and systemic, overpowering threats everywhere, while all the fortifications that people could rely on in prior eras crumbling into uselessness.

If I was young now, I would likely crack. I am already wildly incapable of conforming, having various neurodivergent issues that are wholly incompatible with economic servitude, and so am particularly vulnerable in this capitalistic hellhole that violently coerces us to be profitable to someone else least we suffer starvation, destitution, homelessness, or even death.

Watching the elite revolt going on and how much these pernicious malignant people in the US have just got red America wrapped around their little finger, I feel much less remote horror and sadness at this event, and a feeling like this big crunch is coming and is going to be terrible for the whole world.

I'm so sorry China. Best of luck to us all.
