@heiglandreas@phpc.social @mnapoli@phpc.social @asgrim@phpc.social @DaveLiddament@phpc.social @m1ke@phpc.social It has not always been like that. This kind of change only occurred with revolutional technology. Agriculture, wheel, paper, photography, electricity, radio, TV, internet, now AI, all of them brang the exact same promise: "a better world". But they also allowed the owners, landlords, the overall richest people, to hoard everything and justify their power on nonsensical virtual stuff, while exploiting the proletariate, creating more poor people.

@heiglandreas@phpc.social @mnapoli@phpc.social @asgrim@phpc.social @DaveLiddament@phpc.social @m1ke@phpc.social The phrase "You don’t have to like the game to play it." is just a mark of abandonment: you abandon yourself to the system, because the system is rigged in the first place, and you need it. I'm not saying that it's a form of individual weakness, but it's definitely a mark of weakness from people thinking the same relative to the power in place. If you re-read "1984" or "The Handmaid's Tale" again, you'll see we can fight while "collaborating".
