@futurebird The meme got subverted. Is very frustrating.

Individual actions can not, by themselves, solve systemic problems. But they are a necessary component.

But the antimeme ("It's not your job to fix the world! So do nothing!") is so much easier to share.

@cstross @stonekettle That's the point. Almost every action taken in his first term was aimed at making the US federal government less stable and less powerful. It's what the not-so-secret masters have intended all along.

Also some cruelty and grifting along the way. But weakening the USA--one of the last entities that can go toe-to-toe with adversary nations and corporations--is goal number one.

@cstross They'd have figured out how to infiltrate and reuse the "free" command and control surface presented by the WWW, no matter its funding source.

@cstross that's basically all I can write since 2016.

"Union workers voted to strike, inconveniencing customers" no, you useless mouthpiece publications.

"Company leadership stubbornly refuses to pay appropriate wages or address deep quality issues, favoring short-term profits and golden parachutes."

"Americans’ inability to keep paying higher prices may be dealing a final blow to US 'inflation spike' myth, but newspapers still aren't accurately reporting higher prices as a blatant corporate money grab"

@mcc "content is not available in your region"

#Nonbinary folks don't owe you a particular presentation of self.

1. Androgyny is cool but not for everyone.
2. Nonbinary is not code for "weak, like woman".
3. It's okay--perhaps even good!--if you can't divine someone's gender presentation from their appearance. We have language for that.

Happy nonbinary day!

@jrdepriest I have one but am unwilling to part with it either. And eBay is showing listings upwards of $150...wow.

@geordie It makes me sad that I cannot tell which anglophone government you're talking about as this seems to apply to all of them...
