It is significant because a random teenager can't google "download exploits" and have them available 5mins later.
Powerful AI models and agents though are on your fingertips without you even asking.
Sure, people can buy guns. But what if every person could materialize a chainsaw instead regardless of their skill, maturity, age, or criminal record? 🤔
They are offered very basic food at the base they're stationed at, usually cooked by 1-2 of the other privates, so luck of the lot.

In my (european) country there is a mandated draft. You get paid 5 euros a month, the only personal gear you get is the outfit, boots, winter coat with some underwear and a bedbug-pillaged blanket and pillow that most dare not use.
Why am I mentioning this? Because there's nothing stopping the UK or other nations from establishing similar draft conditions given a good enough excuse in a war economy.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. When the right tries to keyword hack you, don't play into their game by accepting it as state of things. Antifa means being against fascism, simple as. And we all should be antifa.
That's really not true. I've seen the term antifa (standing for anti-fascism) used plenty for many decades now.
We've had antifa spray tags in my school's walls.
It may seems obscure to some parts of the world but for those of us who suffered under fascism multiple times (south Europe) it's a very familiar phrase from a long time before trump become president.
That's what happens when you have unregulated markets and corporations.
Liberals that still suckle Reagans tit worship the almighty "free market" however top economists will tell you that without government control capitalism ends up Being an oligopoly often with feudal characteristics like we see in the digital landscape.
When corpos have no restrictions, they don't compete with each other. They end up merging into a monopoly and drain all the peasants/slaves who don't own anything.
Can those run graphene? 👀
