I don't want to do just "something". It's too little, too late. I want to have what's mine, all of it.
Getting my voice heard out loud, my interests acknowledged.
- ffggvv 10y agoThat's called dictature. Everybody wants it, but what we get is compromise (democracy) that tries to make happy the whole society (obviously it fails in some places, that are the rules of the game). Think of it as a free-market in economics, but including privacy, freedom, etc. besides money. Every action I take matters. It just seems that most people prefer a short-cut. What's strange to me is when people like richard stallman stay loyal to their principles and fight for a better society they get criticized by the same people they want to help! TL;DR; it may seem that we all want privacy, freedom, etc. but don't want to fight for it.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoI don't see that I ever get any compromises. What I see is that decision-making is usurped. I don't see many people in society particularly happy. I don't criticize Stallman, doesn't mean it's the only way to go.
- ffggvv 10y ago> I don't see that I ever get any compromises. What I see is that decision-making is usurped. Maybe I'm just young and naive, I don't know. But I like to think I can fight for something. To me at least it seems we are in a golden period (I'm in europe): few wars, few illnesses, more or less freedom of speech. > I don't see many people in society particularly happy. This is maybe human's condition? See leopardi. > I don't criticize Stallman, doesn't mean it's the only way to go. No way I was implying we should all agree with Stallman, I was only saying that I respect him because he doesn't take "short-cuts".
