These people have always wanted to escape accountability to the community. They want nothing more than to be free to use their considerable wealth and influence without regard for anything but their own interests. Private power seeks to destroy public power and escape the confines of other people’s needs.

Making sure you pay the absolute most possible for everything you buy. Welcome to tyranny capitalism. You will be charged a poor tax in the form of optimised pricing exploitation.

We could all stop them. What’s the hold up?

K.

So one group has trained for decades to heal the sick and provide guidance to be more healthy and the other spent it’s time learning how to take as much as possible from their customers.

Which one is more likely to align with the patient’s interest?

That’s overly reductive and you know it.

I’m not voluntarily giving up jack shit unless the wealthy who devised and profit off the systems that make carbon footprints matter, are brought to heel. If the wealthy can’t be stopped, we’re all dead anyways. It’s their fucking mess, they can be the ones to sacrifice to fix it. We can all die together, better that than let the people who threaten our extinction be the only ones left to inherit the world.

If the economy doesn’t need 25% of the populace to keep functioning…what happens?

No-one in big business does.

So somewhere they feel safe to do so. Says something pretty fucked up about our culture that men don’t feel safe to open up anywhere. And no, it’s not their own fault.

No state shall…but the feds can?

Consumer activism kills businesses and products regularly. We call it ‘trends’.

But manufacturing a boycott for long enough to work is almost certainly going to fail. But like you say, it has a role to play, just not by itself. It must be an action used with precision as part of a larger strategy. We have plenty of tools, but nobody puts them together. It’s always an isolated boycott that flairs up and inevitably fades away. The company just waits it out. We also can’t boycott necessities, and that’s where they really get us. Consumer activism doesn’t work all in those cases.

Drain the coffers.

Of course we have to have a way to manually check the training data, in detail, as well. Not reading the book, im just verifying training data.

Yet we keep empowering them with every purchase we make and half of the consumer base will never see an issue doing so. Some purchases we have no choice but to make, and that’s where they really have control of our lives. They seized the means of production, distribution and access of things necessary for life and leverage access to those necessities for access to more parts of our private lives. The majority appear to be naive morons who will happily sell all of us down the river for more camera filters and some pretty shoes. Basically, toys. We are losing our rights, our privacy, and control of our lives in exchange for toys…

May not have choice in the coming years.

We will take the entire library of human knowledge, cleans it, and ensure our version is the only record available.

The only comfort I have is knowing anything that is true can be relearned by observing reality through the lense of science, which is itself reproducible from observing how we observe reality.

Since nobody seems capable of remembering women can be monsters too, I thought I’d help y’all remember for the next time you have the impulse to villify men.

But only men do horrible things, right?

Nothing better than having a private conversation with my friends and having some dude lean in to remind us that Brawndo, the thirst mutilator, has electrolytes.

Same as always, power.
