You can unite, focus, make friends, form groups at the peaceful protests going on right now. The people are doing something. The perception I am getting is two people already in positions of influence trying to make changes, making money hand over fist doing these things, and getting screwed again by people like Schumer and Pelosi. Heart's in the right place, method needs to change.
Thanks. I needed a rally to know that. So what's the plan to stop this screw over without relying on the people to be cannon fodder and resort to violence? More rallies and fund raisers for the party of the meek and moral victories? Bit of /s in there.
"So you know kids, all that fancy designer cloud stuff for your memes is still stored on lots, and lots, and lots of those spinny things you think we don't use any more! UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!"
Do we really want something that is completely incapable of making proper, sound decisions running around in your house? "Hello human, I see rocks are good for you. Eat this rock! Why are you resisting sustenance? Let me call an ambulance you seem to be ill and your teeth are falling out" That's just an example of Gemini powered robot.
So if -I- did that, even by accident, my ass would be immediately fired and sent to Guantanamo. But if they do it, it's "efficiency". Anyone make a portal gun yet? This is just bullshit.
I agree with you on what you are saying. However, unless you institute a top down change as you would with any organization, you might as well read the writing on the wall. AOC, Benie, and any one else that does not stick to the status quo to keep the money flowing, have already been robbed of several opportunities to institute change. It'll take another decade at minimum before the old guard retires, dies off, or sees the light. We don't have decades unless she and others like her have some kind of ace up her sleeve.
This sounds like the machine from Idiocracy that prints your ID on your arm. First Name: "Not" Last name: "Sure" Tattooing "Not Sure" on your arm for identification!
"Concepts of a plan". This is from page 25 of the instructional guide titled "How to keep your dummies in line, for dummies" aka Project 2025. Woops wrong country. Project 202x - Electric Boogaloo Global Edition .
The path to to what future? One of greedy meekness? It's the same mindset of people that hang on to Twitter to see if they can change the algorithm for good. So long as the RNC and DNC exist with their CEO's and people like Nanci Pelosi and Chuck Schumer making decisions for you, the money will always determine the winners and the losers. None of them are ever going to give up a position that just keeps making money, tax free. This is especially true when the money comes from well hidden sources called Super PACs. I'm for parties breaking up.
Good thing made up stories from social media prompt lawmakers to pass laws at record breaking speed rather than do something about the fires burning right in front of them. Let's see what other bullshit that can be made up to get things done!
Digg lost its popularity for the same reason Reddit is. It started taking investment money and began to please only the share holders. Yeah it's private owned again, but they will just repeat the cycle because the temptation is there.
I've only been using Lemmy for a few months, but it seems to me that taking any instance public will not be a feasible business model. i don't recommend anyone go back to digg unless you just like watching enshitification happen. Should they reboot Ebaulmsworld while they're at it? I know that last statement struck a nerve!
I got warned on Reddit for saying someone deserved a dick punch for making his friend choke on a ping pong ball. Is it time for Reddit to go the way of Digg yet? What's Digg you say? Exactly.
Sort what you know is predictable bs. For example, you know the bad actors are going to always say or do outrageous things for distraction. I use the uBlock Origin browser plugin with filters for “Trump” “Elon” “Maga” and most news sites have about 2 or 3 articles worth reading. Entries even get blanked on Lemmy. Instead of seeing “TRUMP, ELON, MAGA DO THIS!!!” You now see “Secretary of Defense halts Cybersecurity from offensive attacks on Russia” from a decent source. This narrows most news to either things that may affect you directly or helps you build a better informed opinion. Also, if you are in the US, take every opinion from the house of reps and the senate and throw it in the trash. Until they quit acting like children and begin negotiating like adults, they have absolutely nothing good to say. That’s a good chunk of the “news” right there. So when you see stuff like “REP INTRODUCES BILL TO …” just stop reading. If you care to look further look for the bill number and actually read it. Most of the time it’s really stupid crap tactics just to rile up the public. They have been doing that for well over a century. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Democrats should be doing a lot of things instead of waiting around for those "good" billionaires to show up. Both parties need to split and take huge chunks of resources with them to form a party that actually does represent the majority. This has happened before in American history but, at this point, it's just wishful thinking I guess.
