Unfortunately, there is no solution in our current system. The only solution would be to accept that the western (current) capitalist decadent society is causing wealth and power to concentrate in a very narrow group of chosen people who end up having extreme power over masses of people that make up society today.
The only way is to try to try to regulate this capitalist wet dream and try to break it down to smaller companies with less power to pay off politicians. Legislature will have to change dramatically.
- QAPereo 9y agoPutting aside the ideological scree, regulation is the answer.
- free_everybody 9y ago>regulate the capitalist wet dream American culture really comes down to this. The driving force behind our "leaders" is a blind will to dominate and hoard wealth. It feels like we're reaching the point in history where this human instinct is backfiring tremendously. I have a theory that one way of decentralizing power is to create protocol standards that help us share freely. For example, if the concept of a user was somewhat standardized across social media, social media companies could expose an API for sending cross-platform messages, tagging each other in photos, etc. As the internet itself became standardized, so must our social media. Hell, what's stopping it from becoming a crowd-funded FOSS network of independent social media platforms? Costs a whole lot less to run a social media website if you're not trying to take over the world!
