You will trust them.

They won’t stop until the air you breathe is a subscription service.

What you’re telling me is that Sony was way ahead of tech bros when it came to NFTs.

Preventing people from perpetuating clickbait “journalism” is so punk rock.

Agreed. Lurkers are what keep these sites alive.

We can be if it makes your experience better!! Watch!

Dizzirron I bet you don’t even use Linux!

Line must go up!

Because capitalists have had an effective propaganda campaign to make them think “made in the USA” is good. It don’t mean shit. We need the union label back.

This would be a great skit.

Forgive my ignorance but how is Threads part of the fediverse? How did .ml defederate it?

I don’t know everything we need to do, and/or by what means. I would like to think it can be all done peacefully but we have seen how oil executives will fight tooth and nail to keep their quarterly profit report line going up; so that may not be a viable way. We could all practice consuming less and reevaluating our lifestyles. Putting more thought into whether we really need to consume as much as we do is a good example.

I think it would require some extreme changes to the oil, industry amongst other things. We’d also have to be vigilant that those changes don’t disproportionately affect the global south.

You should’ve chosen a better birthday.

I don’t trust humanity at current state to be able to do that

Which is precisely why the first step of the communist experiment is Class Consciousness.

I don’t mean to be a doomer but we can’t. We’re passed the point of no return. The best we can do is organize so that we can reduce the amount of death from here on out.

Enshittification of those services is a direct symptom of capitalism.

No one is arguing that the fediverse exists because of workers owning the means of production.

You should really look into what “enshittification” means and how it’s a direct result of capitalism.

You skipped over the part where he says “You think I own this business? You think I own IKEA?” implying he would care if he actually had any skin in the game which he would if his job operated as a worker co-op.

You must think that humans are inherently greedy and/or are projecting what you would do in a scenario where you’re part of a worker co-op. Most workplaces aren’t worth millions. Most folks who round themselves in a worker co-op would most likely try to better the operation for everyone.

Actual workers. If we made a society where people are taken care of, we’d find most folks would be enthusiastic about their work. Saying “people don’t want to work” is often taken at face value when the reality is that most people do want to work, because it helps them feel a sense of purpose. They don’t, however, want to be exploited/work under capitalism because that is soul crushing.

I knew that .ml stand for “Marxist-Lenninist” and now that I realize the other lem thought .ml meant it’s being hosted in Malaysia I’m cracking up. That’s a fun mishap.
