This isn't a revolt against AI. SF attracts anarchist mobs and they'll vandalize buses, trains, police cars, bikes, whatever is around.

- uoaei 3y agoYou sound like someone who lives in a suburb and watches too much news on TV.
- yareal 3y agoI think you don't really understand what an anarchist is. I'm an anarchist, I wouldn't set someone's car on fire. Happy to give you a rundown on wellbeing for all, mutual aid, and federated production (with a bonus explanation of personal property vs private property,) Anarchist theory is almost 200 years old now, and for most of human history we lived in an anarchist way. There's much more there than "wreck shit".
- nwiswell 3y agoAnarchist mobs? It was almost certainly some drunk kids in the middle of the Chinese New Year celebrations. But the question remains: what was the political ideology of these youths? Anarchists? Marxists? Fascists? Technocrats? Monarchists??? We may never know!
- creer 3y agoThe video shows more than a couple drunk kids kicking a car at random. It shows pretty deliberate behavior. In general, really, it takes more than a random kick to break a car window. And it did take more than that this time. Vandalism is not much of a political ideology but here we are.

- AnarchismIsCool 3y agoAnarchist mobster here, I think people just don't like roving surveillance wagons. Also, actual anarchists are not going to vandalize bikes and public transit. It's kind of important that we be somewhat precise about our terminology as otherwise you just stoke political division to no real end.

- hot_gril 3y agoEh, whatever.
- thepasswordis 3y agoAn anarchist complaining about somebody “stoking political division to no real end” is certainly some kind of irony isn’t it?
- AnarchismIsCool 3y agoWhat do you think anarchist means?
- thepasswordis 3y agoI don't want to get into a political argument, man. I think most anarchists can't really agree on what a definition is. It's unfalsifiable.
- AnarchismIsCool 3y agoJust go read some stuff I guess. Everyone thinks it's accelerationism and while there are extremists who inhabit both camps, like every other ideology, it's mostly just a community focused reduction in authoritarian power structures thing. As I said elsewhere, there are actual agreed upon definitions for this stuff. Careful not to go too far into the "everything is unknowable" hole.
