These cowards need to held accountable, claiming victimhood over every conflict they initiate. Zionists claiming all criticism of them is anti-sematic and trying to twist the narrative. As we've seen in the US, aggressors always pull the same spin.

@Vivaldi Yes, I've been convincing people to use alternative apps ,browsers, and have installed GrapheneOS on Pixels. People are finding ways around this surveillance via adblockers, VPNS, and these alternative and FOSS options. We need to change gears and push these tech oligarchs out, because as we saw at the inauguration, they've openly chosen to support fascism and the surveillance state, thinking they're too powerful to face repercussions.

The anti-Big-Tech movement isn't a trend, it's a correction. Our societies spent 20 years accepting surveillance capitalism as normal. And now, we're slowly remembering we have choices.

Sure, switching browsers is a small thing. But small rebellions are how everything big begins, or so we like to believe. 🤞

If you think about those around you, have you noticed an increased awareness lately about what's behind the tech they use?

The secret sauce of fascism is it lets the richest, most powerful, and most privileged in society portray themselves, and in many cases perceive themselves, as heroic underdogs "victimized" by tiny marginalized groups asking them not to be narcissistic genocidal sociopaths.

@rufustheduck I am sorry for this bullshit stress on you and the way our systems are absolutely butchering educators' job prospects. F'n bananas. I hope you have or can find a path forward soon.

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department

I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock

Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)

This is how shocked Max was when I told him
