That sounds like a surveillance capitalism nightmare we already partially live in

I give little to no shit about collaborators' feelings. They want to make things good for themselves and throw everyone else under the bus. Their politics have no place in our collective liberation

I also feel similar to many other commenting folks: that if you have avoided the "hahaha look at me, i don't like things, that makes me so intellectually superior to you normies who enjoy anything" tone this could have been a good discussion. Also, we have tropes beacuse us humans share a couple of things in common, that we want to express and connect with. It's the human that shines through these tropes, and at the end of the day, they're tools that could be used well or poorly, but narration has tropes, just like wood is made of trees

Meta is not our friend and i'm concerned about how easily some people let in the ad-pushing, hate speech-enabling, data-harvesting supervillian

Mutual aid is one of the most direct, best ways to make the world a better place and practice praxis. It's not an either/or situation: give money when you can, but you could also volunteer with an organization that's horizontal and not one of those scammy, hierarchial ones with too much power. Also, if you give someone cash, it's theirs now, and wanting people to prove they're "worthy" beacuse they "really" need the money is antithetical to mutual aid. And also, i'm proud of you for wanting to do better than how you were raised✌🏻

There's much more you can do than voting, including giving people money directly. That helps, not waiting for the suits to toss a few pennies down to social issues like housing, beacuse they don't really give a shit about any of us. Waiting around for something to be solved doesn't work: we all gotta work toward it

Under capitalism, i fear automationing will mean people losing their jobs only have worse, often dangerous opinions, that machines could do, meanwhile entertainment and the like will be flooded by even shittier quality AI made crap. I can only pray it will mean everyone's basic needs being covered, but that requires a huge shift

Piracy my beloved🏴‍☠️

Hopefully, but sadly no. At least not yet.

And of course they fired the workers after they voted to unionize, what else we would expect?
