They’re purging not only members of org but individual and group who are leftists. Also words from a sub member I mod, said they’re mass banning Illinois leftist subs and suspended all mod accounts to suppress spreading news that Gestapo is raiding in Chicago. Also deployed in PDX.

Basically, what I’m saying is going to happen. And the private prison industry will make bank on imprisoning all of us…
Then we organize the prisons. We will never stop until victory ✌️
I’m pessimistic about organizing modern prisons.
This isn’t the 20th century. Organizing in prisons was possible in the past because they could never hire enough guards to listen to every conversation or watch every corner, but with surveillance tech they actually can. They could feed all prison cameras and microphones into an LLM and then go after anyone who scores too low on their Good Behavior score.
Digitizing and incorporating that infrastructure into every aspect of this supposed “future” prison into each cell with staff would have an equal amount of draw-backs. It would quite literally be easier, cheaper and more efficient to firing-wall people than ever do that. Prison already suffer from chronic under-funding, under-staffing, morale and psyche issues as it is; even the most well-staffed/federal ones.
It really wouldn’t be that expensive to have a couple cameras and microphone in every cell and in all the public spaces, and then to feed the data from those cells to an algorithm to detect wrongthink. In fact, why not force every prisoner to wear their own camera and microphone? Understaffing, morale, and psyche issues are completely sidestepped by this technology.
As for funding, since they can give even more money to their friends in the tech industry I don’t think it’ll be a problem.
They sort of already do this, though. Federal, at least.
How? If even just one thing goes wrong, the technology could be entirely side-stepped by someone who is savvy enough. In climate disasters or general upheaval from the outside could side-step as well. It’d still need staff one way or another.
You seem to forget the other half of the ruling class are religious fundamentalists who are a couple decades away from a full on death-cult.
I want you to imagine talking with someone and the conversation is being recorded and fed to an LLM.
Do you think you could organize in those conditions without either one of you being caught? I really don’t think I could.
I just can’t imagine how anyone could organize from within the prison when every conversation and hand gesture and facial expression is recorded and fed into an algorithm. We aren’t to that point yet, but it’s coming.
This group wants to just execute everyone in the prisons.
These networks, LLMs, etc have flaws just like any human would. Over time they would be exploited. People would eventually develop their own form of information warfare/LLMs against it.
You’re dismissing the outside as I mentioned. This is a problem even for prisons now.
They’re probably the group likely to win in the right-wing power struggle.
The exact opposite, I’m saying the outside is the only organizing that matters in these new conditions. Once you’re in and they have you under 24/7 surveillance the only hope is in your comrades on the outside. This technology isn’t impossible to beat, maybe someone could smuggle insider information to prisoners so they stand a chance, but it’s so much worse than anything we have ever faced before and I don’t know why you’re dismissing it.
