right. it was the corporate centralization and profit motives. that was the main focus of my ire. but how the corpos captured the net was by investing in lowering the bar of interactive participation. it's great that more people got to participate, it's not great that it came at the cost of participation benefitting corporations, not participants

web 2.0 was the generation of web technologies defined by a lower barrier to entry for web posting thanks to centralized platforms provided by for profit corporations. think facebook, reddit, twitter, youtube

"yeah you know the pizzas are hot and ready right? like you just walk in"

a conversation my dad had many times before they started just going "okay got it. one supreme. one cheese. one pepperoni. we should have that ready in about 20 minutes" (we lived 20 minutes from the store)

it's not about thinking this is how it works. it's about manufacturing consent from his cult

Putin’s recent statements that Russians’ “disposable incomes have also increased [and are outpacing inflation]”, and “the overall situation is stable and reliable,” is outright false.

when was the last time the sickly potato shaped dickhead said anything real? like surely he's said one real thing at somepoint? or no? maybe not?

poverty is poverty baby. the powerful class exploits propaganda to keep the rural poor and urban poor from understanding eachother's struggles and keep them hating eachother. that's why racism is such a powerful tool. it expedites and distributes the process to deluding poor white men, often rural, into hating poor black men, often urban, and preventing them from analyzing their deeper connections and commonalities. the hegemony helps enforce poverty. we need to break racism, sexism, and homophobia to break the lack of class solidarity. they really hate us so much they'd break themselves to break us.

this belgrade strike is a sign that hope is warranted. this urban / rural divide is crossable by instilling in the bigots at least enough organizational skills to learn the more people in their circle of trust they can listen to to guide them against the bosses who break them. if you are in a position where you can talk to a rural person subjected to near constant hate safely, talk to them about how a labor strike or a boycott could help them get theirs. they don't need to enact violence on someone weaker than them, they need to stand strong together against someone stronger

[–] Quill7513 9 points 2 days ago

yeah it's not about money or power! it's just straight up about hate!

 

Well y'all finally went and did it. You got me to comment in your community, so now I gotta post something before I leave. I hope you're happy. I mean honestly. Is this what you wanted? Do you like this? Do you like my shitty shit post?

Don't ever let it be said I don't follow the rules

 

Posting from my alt account because file uploads seem to still not be working on beehaw

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).

 

Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved

 

Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks
