What is with the enshitification of everything this last year? Is it because we didn't actively overthrow the government through the Trump bs? People realize they can actually do whatever they want and 50 ish percent of the country agrees based off of tribalism, 45% just don't give a shit and the last 5% don't really matter? They realized we are all cattle. No matter how mad we get, we have no choice in the system we are in. The fucking boomers/gen xers really set themselves up to be a bunch of selfish twats with no real repercussions.
It's an Oligarchy and a dictatorship under the guise of democracy and freedoms and a majority of people are too busy hating the other 50% of the population yo realize we're getting fucked and manipulated.
I think this is the guy who coined it but maybe not the article he initially coined the term https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/
