"Boss makes a dollar
I make a dime
That was a poem
From a simpler time
Boss makes a hundred
I don’t make jack
That’s why I riot
To seize the means back"

Which means exactly are we seizing back?
Because I already own my means of production… And in western countries, where 80%+ of population works in the services sector, it’s not a unique situation. A lawyer, an accountant, even a mechanic or electrician already own their means of production.
We don’t live in the 1800s anymore…
Back in my day, it was “Help me buy a summer home.”
Now it’s, “Help me buy a yacht, a skyscraper, 14 cybertrucks and a way to funnel this to Trump.”
Mushrooms are good.
Writing cute memes isn’t “rioting” and that’s why we will remain fucked, because nobody actually does it
So you think revolution spontaneously combusts in to existence, without any previous spreading of ideas and reaching out to the disenfranchised, or that it only happens on the front lines?
Yeah, I think I’ll pass on your confidently incorrect take lmfao
We can’t even seize the memes back (from the megacorps of Twatter, Google, Facebook, Reddit, etc).
Yet I’m hopeful there will come a time people will see the fossy light, the means working for the people and the better of society.
And yet here we are, carving out our own little corner of the internet where profit doesn’t come first, and we share silly pictures and laugh together.
Big picture may suck, but don’t forget to appreciate the small good in front of you ❤️
Yes, you are right!
And the projects & development are bountiful (like really, the communities & user bases are growing - look how well KDE did in December), let’s support our fav projects!
Kharma is your life’s purpose and has more weight from meaning upon the purpose of existence than every dollar on the planet will carry of truth.
(Not to be confused with Reddit karma or whatever it was :D.)
Are you hopeful in the “I wish this to happen” sense? Or the “I have reason to believe it’s happening” sense?
I’m not answering that question on the grounds of /checks notes to make sure it’s precise/ it will make me more sad and depressed.
Sorry, I was hoping for a reason to be optimistic…
I know, I’m sorry as well :(.
Best I can do is hoping gamers switch full time to Linux & see other/general benefits of what free & open software really means.
Foss isn’t much better, it’s still very much subject to the whims of capitalism and hierarchy.
Yes, I’m sure we would be in for a shitshow or a couple, but a nicely federated media offers natural caps to the extend of corpo fuckery and can heal easier & more seamlessly.
Plus, you know, less support for shitty global business practices.
