Regardless of how pro-technology I am, they have valid points about the Congo and rising rent caused by google's self-driving cars spreading their high-earning workers into lower-rent neighborhoods.
did you read their closing argument?
"We are the counterforce and you might be too. Disengage from the capitalist economy to the best of your ability. Create autonomous areas where the laws and rituals of capitalism are ignored. Do not look back at the flickering lights. Develop ties with your neighbors. Defend the land. Use your position in society—whether as a felon, a barista, an immigrant or whatever your experience—as your starting point for your revolt against it. Have courage. Find others who feel the same way and block a tech bus. Steal from the techies you babysit for. Take down surveillance cameras. Go hard: The time is now."
Sounds to me like they want to go out and live off the land like some sort of 1800s pioneers. I don't know what political party that would be, but they don't like capitalism, sounds like they want everyone to work equally and to share everything equally. I guess that's communism?
Interesting they mention felon, barista, and immigrant (legal? illegal? who knows). No mention of doctors or police, guess in their new "society" there is no need for medicine or security but they need coffee and crime?
