    I’m not defending China here, but since Snowden we now know that American corporate spyware does serve the government. And they are suppressing democracy - this isn’t a democracy yet, and peaceful protests for democracy are met with violent police resistance - Occupy, BLM, etc.

    I sincerely hope that Lemmy can grow large enough to serve as a staging ground for democratic protests in America, just because it’s not corporate controlled.

    My career has also gone very well in this time period by slacking on my previous job and using the extra time to get my current job. Per minute spent, I think it’s more cost effective to look for a new job. Companies hate loyalty now.

    I don’t even sugar coat the “no” anymore. When the next company calls, all they’re going to share is how long I worked there.

    Here’s a Venn Diagram:

    (me) [alienation] (my labor)





  • When I first started advocating for it 24ish years ago (guess why), practically nobody had heard of it. Now most liberals seem to know what it is. And I think that’s a very important nearly-final step, because now every congressman does know what it is. The logic is obvious; it’s all a matter of honest awareness and dishonest BS.

    The hard part will be getting people to admit to themselves that they’ve been manipulated by de facto conservative Democrats for years.
