      You know who's actually profiting tremendously from the Brave New World of digital distribution? Silicon Valley techbro millionaires, like the one who founded the fucking Internet Archive

      And their industry has done more damage to blue collar workers than all the snottiest snobbiest wine-swilling Ivy League literary authors in all of history combined

      By, as Paul Graham put it, "releasing the potential energy" of "inflated" prices for books, piggybacking on the collapse of "rent-seeking cartels" like the Net Book Agreement in the UK and turning books into an interchangeable commodity everyone went to one big website to buy

      The enemy of all labor here is LITERALLY THE SAME GUY Bezos became the richest billionaire in the world by coming after EVERYONE'S job and trying to drive down their wages to an "efficient market level"

      But because writing books isn't "real work" you don't see it from a worker perspective but a consumer perspective Fuck yeah, make books cheap, make them free! The less I, a real working man, have to pay out of my paycheck the more empowered I am

      But they're making EVERYTHING cheap or free and they're keeping ANYONE from getting paid more than they absolutely have to That's the whole game, that's what it's always been, divide and conquer, alienated labor, commodity fetishism

      Drive down Alice's wages to offer Bob low, low prices on Alice's wares, then turn around and do the same thing to Bob to "help" Alice It's classical econ 101, it's the most basic evil free market bullshit, and you call yourself a "leftist" and you don't even see it

      Because you're all wrapped up in cultural identity politics bullshit and owning the suburban whitebread libs and deciding who looks like a worker and who doesn't Christ fuck you
