They argue Woke 2 is already over. The new front is a performative, high-anger rejection of AI that is more central in left online spaces than race, trans issues, or immigration. Key topics include: * The edginess pipelines on left vs. right and how the “terrorist left” evolved * Why anti-AI posting now dwarfs traditional woke content * Hank Green’s very public apology for using ChatGPT and the forced productivity collapse that followed * Extreme backlash against AI tools (Leaflet’s VTuber generator, etc.) * The core arguments the anti-AI side uses (stealing, environment, critical thinking, mental health, creativity, bias, surveillance) * How this creates a self-selected permanent underclass that deliberately opts out of productivity tools * Intentional ugliness in media, media fracturing, and the Brave New World “savage reservation” parallel * Strategy for the pro-AI side and why anti-AI Luddites (left and right) are a liability This is the real culture war happening right now in the meme minds — the one most offline commentators still haven’t noticed. Show Notes The new culture war is between those who are pro-AI and anti-AI, except this is worse than Woke 1.0 and 2.0 because those on one side of the battle are intentionally opting into a permanent underclass.
