Kamala isn’t in the correct direction at all though. The democratic party serves to delay progress in favor of the Republican party. There’s a reason they lie so much and confuse and refuse to address issues progressive voters want to address. It’s not gonna get better unless people stop voting for the same “lesser evil” presented to them and pushed to them in the media.

Hawking, my guy, why have you forsaken us? 🥺 I believed in you

We don’t want these conglomerates to survive though… why do you? Opensource & public alternatives exist because people have a natural urge to help each other get their needs met. Why would you not want that over paying for a privatized internet?

Also, this logic doesn’t apply the exact same way for real life services because there are a lot more extra steps in regards to politics. But the principle is the same. Some services should be public and governments should see the incentive to facilitate that when they witness the people provide for each other instead of relying on the whims of industry giants. Where would the money come from, you ask? Probably the “99%”.

Let governments panic while conglomerates lose their money. Just let 'em! More people need to do this for it to make a dent though.

I’m so glad that after signing up, Lemmy quickly showcased to me posts about opensource/ public alternatives for the apps/websites we normally use. It brings me such a reignited passion. In time I’m gonna change my email, cloud services, OS… Everything!

I really hope US citizens start protesting in grand scale because of this. I hope they have it in them.

Lmaoo that’s so oddly specific, were you guys high af?

Whoaa that’s pretty brutal 😭 creative though lol

I’ve thought about things like this. What if humans could be kept by aliens as pets? What would that be like? Can any extremely bored writer reading this come up with something?

It took me embarrassingly long to catch that. I should go to bed

This is way better than Reddit
