No, we don't want to be fucking led, we are not sheep.

We want our elected officials to do the job they were elected to do, a job they all keep promising to do, a job for which the position exists to do, to work for the interests of the people. Elected officials are public servants, not leaders and should be following the will of the people, not telling the people what that will should be.

Mamdani's policies aren't him leading, it's him serving, serving the interests of the people and doing what we have wanted politicians to be doing this entire time. That you confuse serving, with leading, is a weird fucking rich kid perception of what being an elected official is and it's exactly why rich ppl shouldn't hold office.

Not even gonna bother with this comment. It's everywhere and obvious.

Stop asking selfish ppl to stop being selfish. Make them stop. Make them incapable of being selfish at all.

Stop giving everything you have to these psychopath owners. You are empowering their ability to harm us further.

Agreeing to peace now would be a grevous error. Ukraine has a sustainable advantage for the first time in five years and Russia is weak. Why the fuck would you agree to stop right when your enemy gets tired? They still have your shit, killed your friends, live in your house, abducted your children, destroyed your future and kept trying to kill you. Why the fuck would anyone agree to not beat the every loving shit out of them, disabling their ability to ever do this to anyone else?

You gonna tell them? Narc.

He never was we just aren't informed about it.

That's how lot of ppl construct their entire worldview.

Colonialism is just an emergent form of being a selfish asshole, just like monarchy was, and corporations are and war is.

The internet is becoming a hostile place, filled with predators and hazards, a privilege only of the wealthy, the powerful and their slaves, was not on my bingo card for things I'd live through. I feel I may have no choice but to genuinely disconnect from all of it in my private life.

It means they captured the mechanisms of accountability and disabled them.

The same people who abuse community resources (bulldoze public green spaces, kill rivers, pollute oceans, despoil lands, toxify the air, extinct animals etc.), do the exact same to information and the sources of it. They take for themselves and give nothing back. They cannot coexist with community or communal anything (which is why they hate community and socialism). They cannot give and will compulsively take. Their lives are why greed is considered a sin, insatiable and cruel, and it was wise to believe so.

Never share anything of value with the world. Do not allow them to know value exists or they will come for it. Giving freely and openly has empowered those who advantage themselves, by stealing every idea that is shared. They are the enemy, they are the threat, their psychology is a hazard to the community.

Share only with your communities and close those communities to these thieves. The only solution to private power is community power. We need to build back our communities and abandon everything possible that they control.

Why is it acceptable to experiment on children? Why are those who want to do so, still accepted in society? Of course those are many of the same people who rape children, so I guess it makes sense they would also be willing to experiment on them. Release the Epstein files.

So cheat a lot? Sounds exactly like the strategy they use.

It won't matter when technology is designed to steal your attention at all times. Corporations help cause this situation by selling products that addict everyone and they're getting damned good at it. How long did it take for social media and entertainment through phones to occupy everyone's day? People spend hours a day not their phones, time that was available for socializing even 15 years ago. You can bring 3rd places back it it's all competing with other attentions grabbers made by billion dollar industries.

I think you're more interested in telling me things.

And ppl wonder why the younger gens are terrified of doing anything fun or risky.

This right here. This right here is why I fucking hate when ppl dismiss surveillance and data collection, eg. "idc if they want to know i went to work and then Starbucks" etc..

They absolutely make assumptions about us based on statistical analysis of the data they have and then the systems they control treat us based on those assumptions, however wrong. Dynamic pricing is now a thing because they know enough to target subgroups of their customer base to price gauge more efficiently.

Information is power and people are extremely fucking cavalier about empowering the most exploitative and cruel ppl in society, business leaders.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think democracy makes women lesbian/bi. But windmills cause cancer and Epstein killed himself so the world is filled with surprises.

Laws to allow companies to permanently fuck up our children....
