Comment on The Billionaires have spent a fortune making sure you hate Socialism.
jld@lemmy.zip 8 hours agoIt is, unfortunately, pointless, as the vast majority of people don’t even bother to lift a finger to click ‘like’ on a post that’s fighting for something they also care about. I’ve often been ‘man yelling at cloud’ trying to fight mass surveillance and privacy issues alone. There’s a niche, of course, but, mostly, people are either afraid or don’t care enough, so yeah, it feels pointless.
Also, let me take note that we have discussed the political spectrum and the worthiness of discussing politics, but we haven’t really discussed anything worth discussing. Not that I didn’t enjoy it, but this doesn’t change my point of view. If anything, it consolidates it.
Things are only as bad as the people let them become. We voted ourselves out of democracy, so the people are really to blame. The way I see it, I won’t be ‘man yelling at cloud’ anymore, and the less people stand up and shout, the bigger the penalty will be. It’s unfortunate, but also self-serving.
