We need to un-shackle the internet from its current #monopoly #SurveillanceCapitalism #feudal lords, and return the net to the proper #WorldOfEnds.

How can you tell it's #ChokepointCapitalism? Easy:
It's just one company having supply problems (in this case, a #worker #strike by the warehouse worker #union). Abusing store staff when the shelves are empty seems completely pointless.
Why don't the customers simply go to a competitor around the corner? Ah, that's right, it's a #duopoly and competition has been ruthlessly crushed. There's no other option. Such efficiency.
Hey Siri, how do I file an antitrust lawsuit?

Breaking up monopolies is a built-in feature of bitcoin. Monopolies only got to where they are by borrowing large amounts they can only do that on a #fiatCurrency system.
A concerted effort by #thePeople to reject dotCons is vital for their breakup, now. It's too difficult politically to #breakThemUp if dotCons can #blackmail as they did in #Australia, 2021. Falsebook and Goo' cut us off from #mainstreamNews outlets.
Grassroots #activism is needed.
@adamconover (I hope that's legit) makes a great point with compelling details that the root of most of our current problems in the US and maybe globally is the reemergence of #trusts via rampant, unchecked #corporate #consolidation aka #mergers.
We need #TrustBusters in our government to not only block mergers but to actively #BreakThemUp.
Yes we need #MedicareForAll and stronger #unions and #VotingReform and #PoliceReform. But we won't get that or at least not as fast and definitely not for our maximum benefit if we let giant multinational corporations keep running everything.
