Endgame

The boom in AI datacentres is part of an anti-everything endgame strategy for capitalists who want to permanently win capital’s war against labour and complete, once and for all, the enclosure of the commons and the privatization of all stores of value, down to the last bytes of information. Roger and Erica join Jay to discuss the widespread, grassroots, and bipartisan surge in opposition to these enormous datacentre infrastructure projects. We also talk about the Pope’s encyclical, the psychospiritual ramifications of AI, and the Protestant work ethic versus Catholic social teaching versus whatever the fuck is going on with the new breed of neofascist techlords.Show NotesFighting Against Another Federal Prison in AppalachiaEconomic Struggle in Appalachia (Appalshop)How Portland DSA and SIOs Shaped Socialism’s Win in the SuburbsOregon Candidates on Data Centre Moratorium PulledMyrna Munoz Unseats Senator Janeen Sollman in Key Democratic Primary‘The Precedent Is Flint’: How Oregon’s Data Center Boom Is Supercharging a Water CrisisAmazon to pay $20.5 million settlement over northeast Oregon nitrate pollutionMagnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence by Pope Leo XIVRichard LewontinErica’s IGRoger’s IGLinksInstagramMerchfuckingcancelled.comclementinemorrigan.comjaylesoleil.comTheme songFucking Cancelled has no ads and is a supported by our listeners.
