Putting these valid points aside we're also all just taking for granted that the software would have properly identified a human under the same circumstances..... This could very easily have been a much more chilling outcome

Exactly! It's an empty threat in isolation. Of course the real threat is that you'll get embargoed or otherwise undergo economic violence as capitalist owned governments around the world try to make an example of you.
Generally though, capitalist fleeing just means less to take care of when we reclaim our freedom as workers, especially if you prefer non-violence
Being a run of the mill fascist (rather than those in power) is actually an incredibly submissive position, they just want strong daddies to take care of them and make the bad people go away. It takes courage to be a "snowflake liberal" by comparison
"the only thing they're bringing to the table is money" is true of every single capitalist and every single private company.
We and our ancestors worked the land, built the machines, invented the innovations, increased our collective productivity, but a tiny fraction of people currently alive call dibs and lay claim to everything.
When we ask for dignity and the bare necessities of life, not what we're owed but just what we need to survive, they throw tantrums and threaten to leave.
Let them leave, "capital flight" is only a problem if we care about capital. We workers produce and design and construct and deliver and maintain every single fucking thing, we are the economy. Let them leave.
this also puts in perspective how dystopian all of the "this person might be the world's first trillionaire!!!" articles are
They bombed dozens of hospitals and orphanages across two countries and also started a starvation siege since that time.
There is no outrage left
Capitalist threats of leaving are hilarious. Oh no the non-contributors will leave. The workers are the economy. If capital flight becomes a problem that's only a problem within a larger capitalist framework.
Let them all leave, then we can own our own labour output.
you'd think a person posting on leftymemes would understand that the OP is criticising liberals from the left
how do you know you're on lemmy? Maybe this is a dream. Maybe you're that soldier. Think before you speak
