As I briefly alluded to, the liberal democratic capitalist economic and political organization of western society, along with Anglo cultural notions of individualism in general, are entirely antithetical to addressing climate crisis, which

Westerners really will do literally anything about climate change except reckon with their corporate overlords who by far are the biggest contributors to climate destruction. Get real, your app using 15% less power makes literally zero diff

Have you considered that maybe china isn't the 1984 bogeyman dystopia the corporate media told you it is, and that it's just hysteria to distract you from the real issues at home, with legitimized mass surveillance, corporate cens

Yet another shining example of western hypocrisy: ignoring and apologizing for a well documented genocide of Palestinians, and spreading a RFA/CIA narrative blowing an anti-extremist integration campaign in China way out of proportion.

Exactly, and these people are taking an idea about "1984" from an executive of a tech megacorporation that is just one of the many corporations that dominate and run our economy in their favor, at the expense of everyone else.

Exactly. Capitalism is ultimately playing a key role in perpetuating poverty.

by frashelaw 5y ago
Exactly. Ultimately these problems must be addressed on a greater societal level: by policy designed specifically to target them. Individual donation will only ever be a band aid. The funds required to alleviate hunger, poverty, etc., will

Advertising is a scourge on the internet, and society in general. I doubt anyone would really miss those awful things. So yes, I want to kill advertising.

by frashelaw 6y ago
This indeed is also my main fear. All the nefarious, intrusive, methods of advertising will get a hundred times worse, but now be directly beamed into our brains. Our hypercapitalist economy will only accelerate and exacerbate this.
