No, you don’t get to suddenly now distance yourself and those you serve, the threshold was crossed a long long time ago, war has always been a racket, those making and selling weapons have always been complicit in war crimes, hell, massively responsible for them since they don’t just make and sell, and advertise and test (hint: on oppressed populations) (E: and how could I forget -
lobbybribe politicians and other policy makers), but most importantly profit from war. Fuck this noise.
Meta have already tried, and in an almost unanimous move, users of the fediverse decided to defederate from them to not give them the opportunity to.
Of course they’ll keep trying, but the whole point of decentralisation is that if or when that happens, those who don’t want anything to do with it, just move on to a virtual space away from the corporation.
Sure, it sucks to always be “on the run”, but at least here we can be, vs on a centralised network, where the corporations control 100% of it and we as users have no viable alternative.
To solve the core problem, FOR THE EU, THR ORGANISATION we have to curb the immense grip Big Tech has on our institutions and invest in independent digital alternatives.
They are categorically not interested in solving the core problem of society, and why and how we got to this point in the first place, but simply to maintain the status quo where they are the ones in control (which, while better than active fascism, has and always will be a placeholder for it, as long as they refuse to abolish capitalism).
Don’t be fooled.
I think the most depressing thing about this is that it will actually come as a surprise to some, who will be feeling let down by their pet “good billionaire”.
I hope if nothing else this serves as a wake up call to them to the true and inevitable nature of billionaires, but I won’t hold my breath…
E: smfh, just seen that a mod of this very community (and every other community on beehaw it seems lol) is one of those people, and I was wrong, they don’t even feel let down, they just flat out refuse to acknowledge. What a joke.
I mean, seriously what in the living fuck.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but sadly people wouldn’t listen, they were (rightfully!) so desperate to get the tories out, they didn’t want to hear that the establishment had arranged for them to be voting another one straight in.
And they also don’t want to hear that this was entirely intentional, that it is a well established way of getting the blue tories back in and worse than ever next election, and that continuing to play this silly game of “vote for one of the two people we’ve approved for you to vote for” is ever going to benefit us as a society, but only the ones manipulating us in to keeping them in power.
And so the exact same cyclical shit will keep happening.
A feature, not a bug.
