Not what I said.

But in the end dems only hold the status quo until the next reps move in, so it’s really just a matter of time, anyway. Voting dems feels like it should be helping, but it’s not. It’s a race to the bottom, and the choice is between fast descent and slow descent.

The system is working as intended. The first step to change it is accepting it’s not working for the people, no matter what you vote.

Having said that, if confined to the system, the dems are obviously the sane choice.

Sure, but she’s just a symptom. There’s tons of people that use it the same way. Hell, the whole LLM GF fiasco is a canary and we just keep going.

Even if, at this point the surprise would be an actual change in politics.

Smart TVs are so. slow. Booting. Changing channels. Opening a menu.

Step 1: deliver eons worth of material for free.

That’s all well and good, but Asterix is a satirical comic book making a point about wage slavery, not happy slaves. The author is French, the story in France, and the slaves are Roman.

And I might have imagined the re-enslaving, too. I can’t find it in plot summaries. Maybe it’s in the movie adaptation, but the scene of their “freeing” is pretty clear about its point.

Asterix did a great bit on that. Slaves are freed and put to work for money, but suddenly they owe for food, housing, clothing, infrastructure etc. and are just as much slaves as before. In fact, they go back to being slaves because then they don’t have to worry anymore.
