Yeah but the opponents of the people literally believe democracy is bad and want to go back to monarchism in the form of unaccountable CEO kings that decide the will of the people.
Sadly this is like half the tech workforce too. People too brainwashed to see how destructive their work is to the world.
- vrganj 6mo agoI believe it is up to the other half to stand up for decency, for democracy and for the rule of law. Don't be quiet, don't just let things happen. Use your voice while you still have it!
- shimman 6mo agoI am actively working on several senate and congressional campaigns, believe me that these people want to actively imprison some of these CEOs for the destruction they wrought upon the world too. These stump speeches tend to get the crowds most riled up too. :D

- shimman 6mo agoI'm not trying to scare you, just letting you know I'm someone that does more than advocacy. I'm actively organizing with people that share my values. It's a great feeling, definitely a defining human trait that everyone should experience. Hopefully you find your tribe someday.

- vrganj 6mo agoPlease don't twist language in semantic games. Once you work to demolish democracy, you are not the opposition in the sense that democracies use the word - e.g. somebody who disagrees with government policy, but not with the constitutional order itself. You instead become an enemy of democracy and of our society. Democratic states have defense mechanisms against that sort of putschist - jail is not some fantasy, but a natural consequence.
- greggoB 6mo agoI wouldn't take them too seriously, there's strong indication that they're just trolling for the lols and aren't interested in an actually substantive discussion.
- vrganj 6mo agoThe far-right is never just joking or doing things for the lols. It is a thin shield to prevent being called out. https://www.npr.org/2021/04/26/990274685/how-extremists-weaponize-irony-to-spread-hate https://www.npr.org/2021/04/26/990274685/how-extremists-weap...
- greggoB 6mo agoI'm not convinced this person is far-right, but even so there are smarter ways of repudiating them, that's all I'm saying.
