I wonder which one of #USA's praised system of "checks and balances" must come into play to stop this madness when even #Trump voters are pissed off?

#politics #democracy

I have this thought for some time and now I need some questions answered.

I noticed that quite often good ideas like #foss #privacy #sustainability and others develop features of a religion, in particular in the form of blaming and pointing fingers inside the community on everyone who is "not ... enough".

I'm looking for a proper term to popularize and normalize the idea that doing little is better than doing nothing.

One of the (not) surprising drawbacks of "traditional" #socialmedia is that they are quite far away from being actually social - a network that helps you socialize.

Their dream user is someone who spends most of their days consuming information and watching ads, not making friends and hanging out with them IRL.

The saddest part of it is that it really works...

#society #consumerism #internet

Recently stumbled upon a thought that resonated a lot with me: we think that #democracy is something inherently good, but in practice, it’s only as good as the #education quality in your #society

And really, #usa has such enormous financial requirements for quality education that we should not be surprised that #populism and #demagogy make their way into the highest tiers of power.

Not to mention how many educated people who live there are not citizens
