You’ll be back…

Honestly, that's fine - Lemmy is now a known alternative and best of all, has time to grow more naturally and be better situated for the next eventual migration (I'm a Reddit migrant myself).

Using your comment to add: never forget Jeff Bezos is now in the game of buying up single family homes to rent out…Try to push your local government to make this shit illegal.

A people can never revolt if they’re too busy, stressed, uneducated and financially weighed down. Whether you believe in the Four Turnings or not, just imagine if you had enough money to accelerate such events, just for profit, just to strengthen your control…

Eat the rich.

Researchers confirm what we already knew: Google results really are getting worse

I love science, like experimentally observed science or at least practical theoretical science, but Youtube tries to shove every crackpot nonsense they can at me. I watch one political thing and now they try and shove every conservative propaganda they can at me. It feels like when I was young, the internet was too much for conservitives to understand and control....not anymore. What's the one true power conservatives have? Money. Now they're ether buying up social companies or their CEOs left right and center - or at least bringing tech leadership into the ultra-rich fold. Where they are winning without exception, is in isolating the majority of their voters. Now, there's no longer a shared reality and the divide seems to wide to close. Conservatives wanted brainwashed cult followers and did everything they could to make it happen. Now Idiocy seems far more real on the right with each passing year.

Elon Musk's support

Roll back to 2013-2015. If he would have maintained this period’s façade, he’d be rich, influential and perhaps, a positive legacy. But he had to join the ultra wealthy club and in turn, push their agenda/interests and watch the momentum he had from those few years, crumble. He’s a meme more than ever and he doesn’t care. He had a chance to do better things, but joined the wrong cult…

MAGA turns on Walmart after heiress takes out full-page NYT ad

If it doesn't effect them directly, they don't care - they're privileged and act accordingly. The more money people get, the more they can isolate themselves from others, the less they empathize. Couple that with a relentless propaganda/echo chamber that's always at hand, and the good fight becomes a lot harder. These people are so good at mental gymnastics even when conservatives/MAGA act against their own interests.

They must think, "Then they came for me, And there was no one left, To speak out for me" can't ever apply to them...
