With the amount of indoctrination that has happened in the US, it makes sense that most don’t know how to adequately protest or strike.

At this point in time, it finally appears people are slowly understanding protests as a means to signify discontent. However, the line remains blury as to what is a protest and what is a strike.

A general strike should leave a long lasting mark resulting from halting of the economy - but a single day will only reinforce the fact that strikes which are effectively just protests aren’t going to work.

As a loops user, I find it a decent alternative to TicToc. It just doesn’t have that much content on it as compared to TicToc.

promising alternative

We already have an alternative, and its on the fediverse. Its called loops and it doesn’t include proprietary garbage.

Yet another attempt at a “lesser evil” just how bluesky appeared to exist. Its essentially the same thing but wrapped in a “European made” wrapper, even it’s policies are the same.

Europe has the capacity to make good software yet garbage like W gets the spot light. Instead of glorifying the aspect that it is European made, consider the quality it provides.

Mastodon is the perfect example here as it both satisfies quality standards and isn’t based in fascist america.

Even if they only targeted the plebs, it will completely tank the economy. One of the problems is that they will singlehandedly reduce the capacity of techies and engineers within this country.

New technical people will be hard to come by as there is no means/tools to pursue that passion, other than spending heaps of money.

It absolutely makes no sense that a bunch of corpos can do whatever the hell they like all while the common folk are forced to pay for their stupidity.

The electricity is one example. Bullshit like this which is completely useless shouldn’t be a thing - All it does is severely impact the general populace all while the borguoise is blinded by false narratives whilst living beside their fat stacks of cash.

I mean you are right; however, the point about security can go both ways.

Makes sense since he is so absorbed in his own shit.

The signs where obvious way before this shit show. Cloudflare, crowd strike and all the others where merely warnings - yet Europe found itself too shallow minded once again.

Centralization is what caused this to even occur - this would’ve been preventable if the leaders actually looked at the signs.

Fuck nvidia.

“Have you ever tried having lower standards of living” said the conservative to the homeless man.

In a sane world this would be true, but unfortunately we live in a capitalist hell scape where its the exact opposite.

Speaking of it, there where talks about Facebook harming teenagers and young adults in terms of anorexia and selfharm. Its just that those talks quickly vanished as if they where never there - its like they where purposefully covered up by a different story.

Air conditioning companies: 🤑🤑

100%, as long as the bootlicking governmental oppressors exist, they will totally suckup to their corporate friends to aid them out of the 10 mile deep hole they helped construct.

That is true. To be fair, Lemmy had its times where apparent “experts” deduced insane claims from quick glances of images. But it shows that judging the book by its cover is a real thing, and it applies to anything.

… Until it all goes to hell, and their delusion will finally meet its fait.

The aura that the US irradiates is just preposterous. At this point the only sound you can hear is the sound of boots being licked, evil corpos are doing what they please while the general populace is disregarded.

We are in hell.

Always was, just this time Trumpler is exacerbating the overall situation - essentially driving us deeper into the underworld.
