Reposted by Max BergerJoel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The Holocaust being defined as the sin of Europe par excellence means Jewish nationalism cannot be a “normal” (albeit dangerous) European nationalism like all others; it is seen by one side as justice, which in turn requires the other side to defeat it to end that guilt. This is bad for everyone. 223715
Reposted by Max BergerJoel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 04/10/2026We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil. 22764109

Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I am open to discussion about this and don’t believe all tech is good or even neutral. I just think it’s useful to distinguish between the tech and the governance and ownership questions. 000
Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The goal shouldn’t be to limit the development of AI per se. The goal should be to fight to make the AI companies regulated, taxed, and/or socialized. To make sure we all have a say and a stake in the development of the technology. 2343
Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This argument might seem academic, but I think it’s central to how we engage with the politics of technological change. The goal isn’t to stymie progress, but to ensure the benefits are widely shared, and the risks are minimized. If AI replaces labor, we can socialize the wealth it generates. 1435
Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026AI could be a massive boon to humanity, just as the internet or social media could be—but not without changes to how markets and companies are governed. If oligarchs are always allowed to monopolize the benefits and socialize the costs of new technology, the technology itself is irrelevant. 2394
Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Totally, that’s true of virtually every technological advancement 010
Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026If we lived in a world in which workers and other stakeholders had a say in how the company they work for is run, and strong government regulations that shaped markets on behalf of consumers, new technologies could be beneficial. The problem is never the tech—it’s always the oligarchy. 16911
Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 03/10/2026AI is just like the internet, or social media—it’s a technology which could be used for maximal benefit, but instead has been captured by a handful of oligarchs. I think it’s always important to distinguish between new technologies and the ownership & governance structures they’re embedded within. 920434
