I fear that, out of convenience and privilege, people are more likely to continue to adopt and employ the evil or unethical actions and practices of billionaires than to persecute them or get rid of their class entirely.

I traded comfort conversations for uncomfortable growth.
Best decision I ever made.

Modern day convenience is not an example of how much freedom the vast majority of the world has.
It is a tool used for mental slavery.
It causes laziness and apathy towards and detachment from things that are important for a democratic society.
A privacy nightmare is a democratic nightmare.
There is no separation of the two.
Without privacy, there is no democracy.
Democracy is not failing only because of corruption.
Democracy is also failing because people are too comfortable giving up their privacy (among other rights) in exchange for convenience.
Democracy is not convenient.
Authoritarianism is convenient.
It's not just about you.

Enslaving people is easier than freeing them.
Why?
Because freeing people requires them to do some of the work. Enslaving them requires them to do nothing.
People love doing nothing.

There is a thin line between apathy and evil when one's apathy encourages or perpetuates the continued suffering or oppression of others.

Voting every day is significantly more effective than voting at an election.
The reason for this is that the candidates who would dare to run for office would understand how dangerous the citizens of their country can be, and as such wouldn't dream of underperforming or acting corruptly.
Capitalism cannot be changed, but those who truly control it, the 99%, need to understand that their power is not limited to every 4 years.
When companies do unethical/evil actions, and we say “It's just business”, that's another way of saying, “If it were me, I'd do the same thing”.
When we accept unethical behaviour as normal, we infect ourselves with the same mentality. It then becomes hypocritical to complain about unethical behaviour.
Normal does not mean good.
So my question is:
Are you a hypocrite?
Looking forward to no longer being seen as a tech-savvy nerd that also somehow gets completely dismissed when I say that #BigTech needs to be boycotted en masse.
Wonder how long I'm gonna have to wait...
Reality TV: a precursor to bringing back gladiator-style “entertainment”.
When seeing real people do staged fights is entertaining, eventually humans will want real consequences.
Anything can become normal.
Normal does not mean good.
Tired Torch-Bearer
I'm grateful that I was born in seemingly the last generation where having a different opinion was either seen as simply silly or daringly genius.
I'm very grateful not to have been born more recently, where having a different opinion means you get ridiculed into oblivion or forced to have the same opinion as the brainless and brainwashed masses.
Normal does not mean good.

Vote unethical mentalities out rather than politicians/parties.
The only way to do this is to VOTE EVERY DAY.
Voting every day means demanding change by boycotting what we don't want and celebrating what we do want EVERY DAY.
We need to this every day for several years to make it the norm, so that we do it subconsciously the same way we get up every day and subconsciously do nothing about it.
#GetUncomfortable #ConvenienceVsControl #MakeItPersonal #ItsNotJustAboutYou #boycotting
What I dislike most about #cancelculture is the fact that the people doing it know the power of boycotting, but they mostly use it to #boycott what people say or believe in.
Governments and #BigTech are destroying privacy, a critical pillar of democracy, with the goal of doing the same thing that cancel culture is about.
That is, controlling what people are allowed to say (dissent/freedom of speech) and controlling what people believe in (culture/family).
There are two guarantees in a capitalist society:
1. People will always try to take advantage of each other
2. If you do nothing to change things, it will only get worse
Change is an action, not a complaint.

Convenience and Slavery Are Kin
Feeling like Matt Murdock for the last 8 years, seeing people choose the wrong things over and over again simply because it's popular or convenient.
