It’s not a fear of the coming of machines
That they will take our jobs
That they will rebel and wipe us out
That technology is inherently bad
It’s that the those with all the money
And all the power
Who have punished us with copyright law for decades
Who propagandize us with their machine learning future
They have stolen our art
Stolen our writing
Stolen our work
Stolen our knowledge
Stolen our culture
Stolen our water
Stolen our electricity
Stolen our attention
And have weaponized technology against us
All so they can sell it back to us as AI
All so they can get more money
All so they can get more power
All so they can replace us with something more compliant
And they wonder why we push back
“All they had to do was pay us enough to live.”
