Edit 3: i didn't even claim to be the victim, although I certainly am a victim of capitalism as someone with multiple disabilities that are almost certainly caused by environmental factors present as a result of the unending evil behavior from corporations (including the USG) and many other problems that are inflicted upon me by these systems including artificial scarcity and my rights being whittled down year after year. The victims I was saying you're blaming are the ~120 million people you explicitly blamed for what is being done to our country and our population and the rest of the world by a few extremely rich and powerful assholes, most of which are almost certainly not responsible for any appreciable fraction of harm being done (relative to what is happening at a massive scale) right before our eyes by those same assholes. By the way, since you're so upset about what's happening (according to what you're saying) what are you doing to counter it? I'm sure it's more than just spreading your garbage takes on Lemmy right?
Yeah it's definitely not the system that prevents those people from learning critical thinking skills and encourages them to vote explicitly against their own interests, pitting them against each other as they work themselves to death
I mean... Are we also forgetting that Obama himself was not exactly the best president ever? If we're keeping any part of this system we probably don't want an establishment Democrat who bombed a LOT of people running the country when we need a transition away from regressive, non-people centered (aka non-solution focused, non-evidence based, non-need-meeting, etc) policy and systems to using methods that are responsible and effective and center harm reduction/prevention and meeting needs as priority goals and establishing a way of doing things that better represents (and identifies and acknowledges and strives to meet) the actual needs of people.
Okay. Have you tried looking elsewhere than a blog post that never claimed to be "the truth"?
Anyways that's a garbage argument. I'd like to know how you've been managing not to find anything opinion based in whatever corner of the internet you've come from. If you're only willing to see things that are anywhere near "the truth" you should be reading an academic publication, not social media.
Yes I absolutely agree. Just pointing out that the comment I replied to is false, it gives me the impression that the author thinks that they aren't being spied on by Amazon when they certainly are.
That's not what misattributed means especially regarding a quote. It would be misattributed if they said someone else's name. Anyways how is it wrong (or whatever you meant) to say that what he's saying about an older version of similar tech is applicable to a newer iteration? Either way this isn't a news article, it's a blog post. Who cares if it's editorialized?
Ugh I hate that they used that word
