African Workers for ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook Vote to Unionize

Lets just say you need to understand a bit more about the difficulties about 'organizing people'

You are sounding like those businessmen who think building a facebook or programmer just requires hiring some contracted programmer for a few months.

And organizing people across national/linguistic borders is instantly 10x harder. Across long causality chains, 1000x harder. Its like trying to build an app that can run on hardware from the 90s to modern iOS to windows XP. The only company on the planet that can do that is Palantir, and they aren't very profitable.

I'm not saying I can pull it off, I'm just saying that "solidarity between these groups will never happen" is hard to justify.

We've only been doing this whole widespread-global-communication thing for a few decades, who knows what'll happen in the next few.
