@lemmy.worldHold up - you don't have a solution, but you'll criticise people for doing what they can to keep the fascists out of power?
I agree with what you're saying broadly, but if you're going to wax ideological while you let the fascists win, you can fuck all the way off.
The issue is all signs point to them pivoting to AI and ad driven nonsense - they'll move on, but if the product goes to shit so will I. The rest is noise.
Mostly, it's just Schroedinger's assholes.
If people like it, they were serious - if not, it was just a joke, bro.
Charging wealthier people higher prices and subsiding the less wealthy sounds great! I figure that with the profit motive, it's all gone to shit though.
They certainly made the GOP start caring about gun control if nothing else... They were also damn good with message discipline, and (unless I'm mistaken), did some great mutual aid.
Rupert Murdoch.
That monster's contribution to climate denial borders on apocalyptic - throw in extras like eroding democracy, stoking racial hatred, and contributions to class warfare like fighting off affordable access to to healthcare make him a tough one to beat.
Your boss isn't your friend
HR isn't your friend
The objective of both is to extract the most value possible from you while paying you as little as possible. If they can replace you with someone that'll do more for less, they will.
They might be nice people that say nice things, but the moment you become so much as a mild inconvenience, you'll feel the weight of the organisation bearing down on you.
Don't trust them. Ever.
There's more than two candidates, but never more than two viable candidates. In a FPTP system, there's no difference between voting third-party and not voting.
If you want change, use the other 1,458 days of the election cycle to push for it - election day is for keeping the fascists out until there's a viable better alternative available.
