  • Why? Because I accept that businesses exist to make money, not out of the goodness of their hearts?

    Yes, there’s no reason you need to carry water for them. These dipshits shouldn’t be able to find a single comment online supporting their behavior. They should feel shitty and worthless about what they’re doing every second of their miserable existence. Companies can make plenty of money without enshittifying every single aspect of our lives.

    If you think a system or game is predatory, the solution is simple: stop supporting it. If enough people actually vote with their wallets, companies are forced to change because it hurts their bottom line. Throwing tantrums online doesn’t change basic economic incentives, consumer behavior does

    Sure, and I have a lower threshold for it than most but these companies will keep tightening the screws forever because there will always be new people coming in where the current level of bullshit is normal and they can push those people even further. My resistance to it alone accomplishes nothing.

  • Centrist governments aren’t doing shit to fix the problems people are having because they’ve been bought by billionaires. Far right is something different and it’s pointing at “problems” that hateful morons find easy to solve. The result is a lot of people checked out of engaging with politics because it feels pointless and a lot of hateful morons checked in because there’s finally someone talking their language.
