Ah so your call to action is... Inaction? Very enlightening, thanks.

🤨

You've offered no real actual actions though. Change... What? To what? Your world is also quite literally burning and drying up. You could share your clearly superior wisdom instead of just dunking on Americans, which is frankly low hanging fruit anyway.

So what do you do?

The new testament stories were written well over a hundred years after. That would be like someone today writing an account of the civil war based solely on stories.

Crap I knew there was something I was supposed to do!

Christianity and capitalism. If it doesn't make you feel guilty the Christians don't like it and if you can provide it to yourself for free the capitalists don't like it.

Digital privacy.

It was very recently revealed in unsealed court documents from I believe 2013 that the Facebook app pushed a certificate to mobile devices that funneled all of everyone's decrypted traffic through their servers. That means every webpage visited, every file sent and received, every word typed passed through and was stored on a computer at Facebook HQ. One engineer was quoted as saying that Zuckerberg had a particular interest in looking at people's Snapchats. It was also revealed that Facebook had a data exchange partnership with Netflix where Netflix had open ended access to user's private messages.

Now you don't have to be a Snapchat or Facebook user to see how wrong and downright creepy that is, but if you bring it up with the average person you can see their eyes immediately glaze over. It's hard to blame them, it feels like a hopeless situation and it's much more convenient to pretend it's not happening. People have been completely indoctrinated into abandoning their right to privacy. It's a real shame because if we were paid as individuals what our data is apparently worth I'm sure that perspective would quickly change.

This just tells me ant particles are constantly flying into my nose and mouth and I don't have receptors for them. Gross

I mean it was never actually a good place for news, aside from the top five trending stories, if you wanted infinite bad takes on them.

Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle a pot.

I don't know, he sounds like he always does.
