   "By tricking you into thinking of yourself as a "consumer" who benefits from low prices, they get you to stop thinking of yourself as a worker who suffers from low wages."

   The last election was lost to consumers, not citizens. @pluralistic calls to unionize for a general (heck, global) strike in 2028. We desperately need one to break the backs of big tech/business robber barons. We probably needed it yesterday.

     @koen_hufkens @pluralistic I feel it is similar in France, the "national" far right party campaign a lot on consumers/consumption.
