Copyright is useful for when you’re protecting intellectual property from being stolen by big corporations as a smaller business or private citizen. It’s actually the original intent for why it exists in the first place. The problem is that it’s rarely used that way and is instead used by big corporations as a battering ram to extract as much wealth as possible from the ones below them.

I thought the USSR was nothing more than a state capitalist society like China is today?

They seem to be convinced that we can no longer revolt against them. Only time will tell if they are correct if nothing stops them

And yet they want us to have many kids just in case it doesn’t work. They have no regard for human lives and could care less if anyone beneath them suffers and dies. They need to have their wealth and power cut down to size or it will become reality…

I’m lucky that I have supportive parents otherwise I’d be struggling to survive right now

How about we compromise and just swap places?

Just don’t let the Nintendo ninjas know that they are free

But that requires actually READING 😖 /j

Ah, close enough. Both are owned by billionaires who have everything to gain from distorting the truth

Isn’t WSJ directly own by Bezos himself, or am I confusing them for something else?

Is there? I can protest, but that’s more so to raise awareness and visibility than actually doing anything to overthrow the government. I suppose if I somehow rally enough support during a protest, then I might be able to pull my own January 6, but that’s assuming the coup will succeed. Furthermore, I’m not good at hacking government interfaces, nor am I a super soldier. So I have no skills related to toppling governments. That being said, what’s your suggestion in my position? Keep in mind, I have people who depend on me being alive right now, so I’m not going to go on a suicide mission that may or may not succeed. If it had a 100% chance of success, then maybe we could talk about it.

Kindly notify me once the revolution starts, and I’ll participate. Otherwise, I’ll just be throwing my life away for nothing in return by trying to start one myself. It would honestly do nothing but aid the fascists in their propaganda that leftists are violent and need to have their rights taken away. Therefore, I will only do that when there’s nothing left of value in living, so at least I would go out in a bang.

Already do. I get reminded everyday that my country is super evil but there’s not much I can do about it aside from voting which from what I understand this sublemmy doesn’t believe will do anything. So if that’s the case, guess I’m just fucked anyway? No matter what I do, my country will bomb other countries to the ground and its my fault??

If you’re able to use cash, then that works too. Unfortunately, you can’t insert cash into your computer though, lol

Jesus Christ. Can we just band together and do a coup to overthrow Trump and Vance at this point? This is going to be a needless bloodbath on both sides

You can use Monero to buy things anonymously. Whilst not perfect, it makes it significantly harder to identity or trace you. Other than that, not really, that’s the only real use case for crypto in my opinion, for privacy

Wait, this is a bad thing?

Wait, browsers still had RSS support? I thought that was deprecated a decade ago. I’ve been using dedicated apps for them

It’s a shame that I can no longer attend myself since I now work night shift so it occurs during my bed time. Last rally opened my eyes that despite being in a red state, I’m not nearly as isolated as I thought I was
