sarah zedig! 🍉🐐it's unbelievable what's happening to the internet right now. just a vacuum of stolen wealth into the pockets of stupendously ignorant tech moguls, with virtually zero regulatory oversight stopping them from joyfully annihilating the informational backbone of modern society.
like it is genuinely embarrassing how tech illiterate our politicians are that they're just as clueless today as they were 20 years ago. every single day i see some new wretched development that makes me want to scream, please, for the love of god, will SOMEONE just make them STOP ALREADY
we need regulation. we NEED regulation. i'm no reformist, i believe the only acceptable longterm solution is the abolition of the profit motive, but holy hell will i settle for literally any government retaliation against these brazen thieving con artists
we're two generations deep into a cultural shift towards primarily online society, yet it's somehow less stable now than it was in 2008! every time we get a healthy network going, some 30-under-30 ivy league failson buys the house sight unseen and burns it down for the insurance.
it's crazy! no one wants this! we're all fucking miserable! and our leaders are just letting it happen, because i guess the only thing a government exists to do is means test the poor and blow up foreign nations
Jigen@sarahzedig While the underlying problem of capitalism caused this, if people hadn't been manipulated to gathering into a single place, putting all their eggs into one basket to enhance their personal profit from the movements of technology, none of this would have occurred. It comes down to individual, collective greed. We need a more holistic solution or we'll be in perpetual whack-a-mole.
