Calling arson heroic is embarrassing. Nothing about what he did helped anyone. It hurt the people who worked there and shut down any chance of actual organizing.
He could’ve put that energy into unionizing and building real leverage with the people around him. Instead he chose something that put others at risk and killed the one tool that actually works.
I get that people are angry and impatient, but cheering for this isn’t radical. It’s lazy. It hands critics exactly the narrative they want and drags attention away from the work that actually changes conditions. If people want real power, it starts with organizing, not celebrating a stunt that sets everyone back.
Please don’t burn down Sam Altman’s house with Molotov cocktails please it hurts the poor house slaves who live there. It’s much more effective to go sit there with your reflective vest and sign that says you’re mildly upset
You can burn down Sam Altman’s home with him inside, and what happens after? His wealth goes to his family or relatives, the CEO gets replaced in like a week because there’s no shortage of them (be it from Linkedin or other positions), your ass goes to spend their entire life in jail, the state now has a narrative to use in order to crack down on organization of present and the future…
But sure, by all means go and become a great man of epic radical resistance who treats the working class as the object of revolution and not the subject.
