I wish WhatsApp wasn't the main form of communication in my area of the world.
That's the only one I'm on and it's because I could not convince anyone around me to just use texts or download signal
Yes you should break yourself from all of the US and Israeli tech stack. They cannot be trusted.
It's hard to get away from the hardware companies through. I'm all AMD because they're a little less evil, but they're in the same AI bubble and also currently doing little in terms of innovation since they already have the performance advantage

But everyone else does and they will be voting in the next election dragging you down with them.
I can't control other people, only myself. If they want to sleepwalk into lies and fake propaganda there is nothing I can do.
Your point?
The control of media and of communication by the wealthy is mainly a threat to society.
It's not like eating junk food where you're only harming yourself.
We're all threatened by people being ignorant and propagandized.
Now, what you can do, there are many things. Talk to your neighbors, involve yourself in your community, get people to come on the Fediverse, demonstrate, etc.

I don’t either. Too bad 99.9% of the rest of the people do.

This is the problem.
Good job lemmings, pat on the back for separating yourself from all this bullshit. Unfortunately, the thousands of us here don't have super mega voting power.....
Really is a shame
ur still affected by how these influence the news cycle and general societal conversation

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.
"Lobbying"
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.

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.

Someone's gotta reach where the masses are
You criticize society, yet you live in one.
Paying for the checkmark is out of line though.

We are on the losing end of the class war. And it feels like we aren't even trying to fight back.
Luigi fought 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.

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.
m8, Trump is copying Mussolini and Hitler, step by step. If people haven't "woken up" by now, they won't. They are complicit. Well armed militia and all is only strong against a bunch of children in schools... When it comes to topple tyrants, they're cowards.
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
Plus Amazon
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.
Use Kimi K2 instead, feed your data to the Chinese instead of the massive nonces in the US.
Use your own brain instead, feed your data to your thoughts
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)
