Don’t kid yourself, you are not changing anyone’s life on here by condescending and asserting some kind of moral superiority, and your charade of self-aggrandizement is vile. I’m truly uninterested in your ‘insights’ or judegements and projections on my charcter. As far as I have seen you’re a naracissist who wants to police and gatekeep the community using civility as a shield, which is the playbook of conservatism, we have nothing else to talk about.
You seem to be confused, I do not give a fuck what you said I should do, and I never asked for your wanrings or judgements or advice, so keep that shit to yourself, and let’s agree to go our separate ways.
This is fucking political malpractice, read the goddamn room, pal! Doesn’t help to be paid to stay blind… This is emblematic of the need for the fight to eject huge donors and their bribe money from politics.
We can’t afford to forget about bot accounts. Social media and the internet in general is vastly polluted by non-human accounts trying to manipulate you directly and through your algorithm. Also it’s a literal addiction engine; yeah people on it are flawed and unaware fo themselves and harms they’re exposed to, and also the site is designed to exploit them to the tune of billions of dollars in psychological research. So don’t forget how evil it is when you want to blame the (human) users, it is in part victim blaming. Also, don’t forget Zuckerberg did this all with intent when you see his pasty robotic ass dragged in for depositions to explain himself.
Don’t condescend to me like I’m not watching what’s fucking going on after coming at these comments like some self-righteous arbiter of truth and morality. I will relax when I don’t have some asshole on lemmy griping about people who are actually out there using what power they have to try to influence future outcomes for the better in this increasingly despotic fascist regime. I fucking hope you’re out there phonebanking for progressive canditates and engaging with officials about how desperately we cannot allow status quo fuckery to block the action you claim to want now that there’s some power to affect it, cause if not you can continue to fuck all the way off, and frankly, even if you are you can goddamn well check yourself up in here.
“People like me”
Point to where I ever said any of that shit you just slopped at me… Then when you realize that I didn’t, and you’re just projecting at me to create a pallatable strawman to coddle your little insecurities, point that fucking finger up your ass.
Respecting the dead is taking action to honour them, all the shit you’re yapping about is downstream from the act of voting whether your idealism likes it or not, this is the system we have. Your self-rightious bloviating in the name of the dead is vanity plain and simple, so shut the fuck up and stop grandstanding to people who are doing their best.
Actually, it can be, and is, many bad things, including the war!
Remove him, the party absolutely needs his removal. He won’t do it himself cause he’s a narcissist ideologue.
Shut the fuck up.
Whoever is downvoting this is either butthurt, or in denial.
CEOs exist to do the bidding of do-nothing greedy shareholders who expect infinite growth because they are deluded and uninterested in the details of their product. The fight is always with the shareholders, the CEO is just their avatar, but in this case he is particularly aggressive. Ironically the shareholder interference is the biggest risk to long term profits because they constantly fuck up the quality of the product and destabilize their market share pushing dumbfuck ideas like these cause they don’t actually care how Proton works, or what the goals of the product are as advertised, which is why they’re directly stepping on their customer base here. Could be they only want a short term return and they think sacraficing Proton at the altar will give them the biggest quickest buck, and they’ve told lil’ Yen there he’ll get his slice if he makes it happen.
The trendy answer today continues to be magical thinking regarding AI, that will somehow increase profits (ciataion needed), and eliminate labour costs. It’s inherently anti-worker and it’s just for a few extra bucks from what are over-glorified landlords. There used to be a think callled stakeholding, where your investment in the outcomes of a company are tied to its continued existence so you have to actually consider how the operations are affected by decisions like there, cause you can’t just take your part and walk away when it fails. I don’t know what happened to that model… Maybe worker action involving suing the shareholders for meaningful threats to their livelihood could gain some traction in changing the relationship.
Bill Gates can and should get fucked into orbit.
