Thank fuck I literally use none of those services.

People are talking about it, but the conversations are muffled or muted by those same billionaires.
Large no kings rallies should have had massive coverage, but were actively ignored by the news who frequently report on a handful of protestors who are promoting hate. Heck, with all of the pro Trump bullshit being a tidal wave of shit it just drowns out everything else so trying to actively discuss problems anywhere but niche communities is like trying to have a conversation in the middle of the dance floor at a rave.
This was a problem decades before Trump took office, and the exact same problem will remain after he's gone.
Those corporations are "donating" (bribing) every election cycle for a reason, and it's not charity.
Each candidate has a billion dollars, win or lose... that we know of. Our reps and their entire families are millionaires. Bribery is blatant and legal.
See Super PACs and Citizens United for further details.
Lol, posted on “X”
Exactly where people who need to read this message are. What’s your point?
Moral superiority. It's seems to be a strong theme around here. Why worry about others when we're all so much better then them.
gotta reach people
posting it on an alternative would be preaching to the choir
We are on the losing end of the class war. And it feels like we aren't even trying to fight back.
A poll came out the other day that put Mamdani +49 (that’s not a typo +49) in New York. People are waking up, all the propaganda in the world cannot change people’s mind when they see someone fighting for their material interests.
I’ve been in this fight since Bernie in 2016 there are people who’ve been in it much much longer than me.
We are winning…
I've been fighting since Gore "lost" in 2000. It's never felt like winning.
The percentage of sociopaths involved with creating a society should never be greater than zero.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
First time I've seen the term "financial obesity" and I love it. Thanks.
They said......on twitter/X ... with a blue check...
And how dare they criticize capitalism while living in a capitalist country!
And how dare they push for better labor laws while using electronics made by child labor!
Stop with the silliness.
You criticize society, yet you live in one.
Paying for the checkmark is out of line though.
Kind of ironic that this was posted on Twitter (X).
If these people could read...
Delete all your accounts, and tell all your friends and family to do the same. Refuse and reject any service designed to fixate your attention. You won't miss them, most people alive today lived in a world without their influence.
And some people will defend billionaires saying thjs is just the free market working.
Let me know if and when they take over thelemmyclub, I'll be out of here in a heartbeat
Lol 185+ stations.
Sinclair waged this war a decade ago and won. That number needs a couple zeros on it.
Last season of Westworld was about guiding people through AI to control them. Your destiny was preordained by AI.
We shouldn’t be integrating AI into our lives though. AI sucks.
We need socialism
The beacon of freedom and democracy, as that loosely arranged attempt at a nation state has been called, certainly is not.
(Edit: and unlike some people seem to think, it has never ever been)
