i’m going further. imagine as the state becomes increasingly impotent, dependent on “AI”, with nobody understanding a single function anymore

until a group of leftists (who are still maintaining deep technical knowledge through the power of knee socks and cat ears) basically just finds an exploit in the entire U.S. market economy and interwoven remnant government structures

just take control of the military and police’s paychecks. nobody in power knows even how to effectively “reboot” the decrepit systems or stop this because everything is intangible now
