Governments listen to people that succeed at acting in unison. Individuals can be dealt with swiftly but populations can overturn any government.

Coordinating populations is the hard part if you want revolution. Manipulating populations and their ability to coordinate is your bread and butter if you want to oppress.

Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it’s Onlyfans.

Really? A Russian delegation is allowed to join? Doubt they would have anything remotely useful to contribute.

I’m very wary of installing more extensions since I heard how many lucrative requests extension devs get from third parties for allowing them to enshittify their software.

I fear that part of the reason is that it isn’t big enough yet for AstroTurf interest groups to care enough to invest into it. Although maybe AstroTurfing isn’t included in the enshittification label?

For social media to work in the future I think there needs to be additional safeguards that keep enshittification at bay. But picking them will be a delicate art.

Voting might ensure that the situation might not get worse. You need to change the voting system to actually make a meaningful difference.

Edit: wtf are the downvotes for?

The problem with these rage inducing subreddits is that they seldom seem to propose or encourage any solution or alternative. So it ends up becoming a kind of circle jerk of learned helplessness.

It seems like a common internet thing. Rage bait and learned helplessness. We learn to accept that there’s nothing to do because people and politicians are idiots because “look at all this stuff”.

And often this aligns with advertising tech because it makes us engaged and seeking comfort of continued scrolling when we get a steady stream of anxiety injections. It’s low key like an abusive relationship.

Actually a good point.

Shouldn’t the flag be revealed in the last pane for it to work?

More like content farming right?

What software stack do you use for this?

It’s just a reference to trade unions

I’m sure stranger things have happened in irl lore. Pirate Party (pp) comes to mind.

I mean the Soviets helped beat the Nazis and they were hardly the good guys. Helping Ukraine makes US the good guys in the Ukraine war. Each action should stand on its own.

I just googled “ukraine aid eu vs us”.

Unions could fix that

The car doesn’t have Bluetooth connection?

Yeah don’t kill the fire while it’s small. If it grows larger we can sell more extinguishers!

Maybe they realize there will be more war and profits to make if Putin gets what he wants.
