@evan I think, instead of focusing on wealth, we should look at affordability and sustainability.

How can the collective live prosperously without the need of some sort of accumulation?

Imagine having a limit to the amount you can post...Ew...

This is why unionization is important.

The working class needs to have a say in how their workplaces are run!

Especially with someone as out of touch as Zuck at the wheel.

People not learning things because of AI tools isn't the fault of the tools.

It is the fault of the people who want the result and don't WANT to learn the process.

There is a lack of intention because that's just how the US capitalist system wants us to be.

We have to hold the enablers of that mode of thinking accountable.

This is the same as teaching for a test as opposed to actually understanding why things are.

If any government is supporting capitalism, its already fallen into evil's trap.

Who knew people would actually go for something "affordable"?

Nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal boxed into a corner.

@evan I mean, I feel that it pales in comparison to the danger to the Venezuelan people, the murders the US committed, and the kidnapping of a foreign head of state.

”[T]he things I experienced have made me even more convinced of the resilience of the Cuban people, and the capacity of the systems they have built to survive in the face of genocidal US policies.”

I hate that tech bros have co-opted revolutionary language.

It’s like they took all they learned from Ayn Rand and tried to fuse it with Kwame Ture.

I don’t like sounding like a corporate apologist, but sometimes people don’t look at the full picture.

They don’t understand how systems are intrinsically linked and how that shapes policy.

They refuse to see the human element behind decisions that are being made to solve a problem that was created by people who don’t have to face the destruction they bring upon the working class.

Until we deal with the rot festering at the top, we will continue to have to deal with the enshitification.

If fascists can weaponize landmark legislation meant to foster equality, imagine what twisted perversions they come up with next...

Unless we stop them!

@evan If we could do that, then we could actually do a general strike.

I keep forgetting to mention that it’s Autism Acceptance Month this month!

And y’all better accept us, or else!
