   Cis people, you make it abundantly clear that you want us to suffer and you'll be there to provide the pathway to that suffering.

   That messaging is EVERYWHERE from cradle to grave for us.

   It's near fucking heroic that we manage to survive your widespread violent bullshit.

   So yeah, some of us feel some distress over this. Your abuse results impacts our mental health. Gee. Go figure.

   We caught Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, on the streets of Davos today. We grilled him for nine minutes as his bodyguards tried to push us away.

   Fink panicked and started taking photos of our faces — a bizarre attempt to threaten us.

   It didn’t work.

   It utterly astounds me how many Americans are getting totally overwrought about the UK's #OnlineSafetyAct.

   Meanwhile, here in the Rest of World, we've endured decades of having the USA's laws like DMCA, Sarbanes-Oxley, COPPA being imposed on us.

   It is hilarious how out of touch they are.

   @eff great article - thank you! I think this ban should also include a ban on companies keeping persistent #profiles on us.

   It's not enough for us to have the right to request the deletion of the profile, it should be illegal to build and keep that #behaviouralprofile in the first place.

   What do you reckon?

   I’ve started to post something and deleted it at least a dozen times over the last week. I’ve read so many articles outlining people’s takes, opinions, and post-mortems, but the gnawing feeling in my gut just hasn’t gone away.

   @pluralistic has been beating the drum about enshitification for a while now, and Zitton does a really good job here pointing the finger exactly where it should be pointed.

   https://www.wheresyoured.at/lost-in-the-future/

   This is it, the social contract is broken, #enshitification was THE decisive factor in the outcome of this election.

   Used to be a time when the bottom line of a company was connected to providing value for its customers and its not just its shareholders. Now they take our money, give us garbage in return, and use the money we gave them to elect the fasch who will help them keep doing it.

   My hope is that they don’t realize that their arrogance is radicalizing people… that they are completely suprised when one day they wake up and everyone has stopped believing in them and stopped using/buying their products, people no longer covet getting a job at their companies.

   There are two words in my mind that keep coming up:

   1) Divesture

   When you have the opportunity for discretion, use it by refusing to invest in these companies with your time and money. Find alternatives if you can, or accept a sacrifice if you can afford to do it and there are no other options (also understand I don’t want or expect you throw yourself under the bus in the process).

   2) Solidarity

   This is a word I’ve heard many times in my life but I didn’t really understand what it meant until quite recently. That is by design. Solidarity is the thing that these asshats fear the most. It’s a word that can’t be appreciated fully without the context of class struggle, without the realization that we are born into a conflict between labor and capital that began long before us.

   It comes down to standing with your peers, not your oppressors. Stop believing in the lie that you can “become like them”. Recognize that hoarding wealth and status is actually evil, that by pursuing that path you are reinforcing and compounding those evils (and becoming evil yourself).

   If that’s what you really want then there is nothing I can say to change your mind and this post isn’t meant for you. Go ahead and be evil. For the rest of you, JOIN A UNION if you can. And don’t just join, get involved so that the leadership that is supposed to represent you does their job of representing instead of colluding with management.

   I’ll sign off by saying that I am in Toronto and I would really like to connect with more like minded people on a more personal level than mastodon allows. If you think we are on the same frequency please message me on signal (contact is in my profile).

   In Solidarity!

   I'm sorry, America. I'm sorry for all of us.

   It's not fully called, but now looks inevitable. The people have indeed spoken.

   Europe will have to pull its socks up and reduce reliance on the US to save Ukraine.

   ...not that we're at all a unified block of like-minded countries either.
