Facebook Robots Suggest The Rich Get The Guillotine
This morning while looking at Facebook on my phone, I landed on this article on Salon about how SF sold out to the monied classes in the last election. After reading the article and going back to my FB feed, a carrousel of suggested articles came up. They included the articles When the Rich Took Over Our Neighborhood and Airbnb Apologizes for Passive Aggressive Ads on Muni Shelters.
Then the very last article was a wikihow article titled How to Build a Guillotine.
Holy shit right? And just below it is an article about how Bernie Sanders is turning Americans on to Socialism. Are the Facebook robots suggesting that we rise up and do to the billionaire class what the French did to the Aristocracy in the 17th Century? Does this mean that Bernie is our Robespierre?
I guess we will find out, but it is good to know that when the revolution comes, the robots will be on our side.
