    The worst part is seeing all these people getting mad at their computers. Call me when y’all are ready to drag them out of their houses and roast them, I’ll wait for you to catch up.

      That’s not a solution. If I had to stop using every scummy corpo stuff, I’d have to live in a forest. We need reforms and laws. And abolish the wall street.

        I am not condoning violence.

        That being said, it is becoming less and less likely that solutions which benefit the population at large are reached peacefully. The exact same people benefitting from the current situation are the ones in control of those reforms and laws.

          Sad but true. I’ve at least started boycotting shut like Apple, TikTok, delete Indtagram and Xitter accounts, and started using Lemmy, Mastodon, and self-hosted solutions. And most of all not buying scummy name brands. It’s not much, but I am doing my part.

      Look, I’m not going to say violence is never the answer. History is full of examples to contrary. But it feels like there’s a lot of steps we haven’t taken before getting to that point. And no, I’m not talking about voting. We need to get serious about collective striking efforts. So I hope you’ll answer not just the call for pitchforks when it comes, but also the one for picket lines when it comes first.
