    One of the funniest god damn things in the animatrix is the shorts that explain how the human v ai conflict began, and its basically just rabid reactionary humans doing a genocide, which leads the ai to form its own robo-communist country where they outproduce everyone (and are seemingly willing to work with humans to the benefit of all), only for the humans to go and nuke them because they can’t have that.

      YES. i’m glad i’m not the only one who noticed that. and the fact that leftists fought alongside the Ai in the streets and were exterminated along with them. it really makes shit like “Detroit Become Human” look like the derivative slop that it is.

      humans pack bond, and i have no doubt leftists would fight to help liberate humanoid AI slaves even if it meant dying along side them.

      in the animatrix you see the results towards the end when the last human mech soldiers are all religious fanatics hopped up on stimulants. the last human resistance were pure fascists and deserved to be casually disassembled by the squid robots.

      the AI wanted to bring us FALGSC and the reactionaries rejected it utterly

      (also you could take if further and since the robots set themselves up deep in the desert of Saudi Arabia I wonder if they brought prosperity to the middle east, which also threatened the economic order)
