"Global far-right power grab" is the phrase everyone's looking for, and why we need to stop thinking of fighting them in terms of borders. It's the same like, 200 well-positioned multinational cunts fucking things up, and we need to start thinking of how to excise them wherever they're found

"Knowledge workers" contribute at least an estimated $30 trillion USD per year, according to Anthropic's IPO. Two points:
1. That's who and what Anthropic is targeting, and
2. That's at least how much economic power we hold, collectively, solely from our work. That's worth remembering
