I don’t think that’s the criticism, rather we fixing the problem at the wrong end of things. We can’t fix society by stressing personal responsibility, we need a different tactic.
No it’s not, lol. If people stop using these platforms they will fail. Sounds to me like you’re just justifying your continued support of these services and platforms. Defeatist loser mentality.
Lol, short of going out and killing these bastards there isn’t much else I can do other than to stop supporting these services. I have to hope if enough folks like me stop using these services they will fail. There is a point where it only takes one straw to break the camels back.
That’s basing your imagination that we’re a meritocracy. There’s meaning behind the saying “failing upwards”. I don’t know how to counteract it either, but their success comes from failure. Let alone the Island stuff.
What are you even talking about? I didn’t say shit about meritocracy or failing upwards. I’m talking about not supporting those services and platforms that support evil.
Right, and I’m trying to explain to you that it’s not what they base their success on. I know you mean well, but we’re not a meritocracy and they do fail upwards.
Lol. Lmao even. You think shaping your habits will protect you. You can’t personal responsibility your way out of this.
If you can’t solve the problem 100%, why even bother.
I don’t think that’s the criticism, rather we fixing the problem at the wrong end of things. We can’t fix society by stressing personal responsibility, we need a different tactic.
If the tactic doesn’t benefit the person doing it at all, then they won’t do it.
Sure, and that’s why I don’t bother telling people their voting tactics are wrong.
It has little to do with protection and more to do with keeping a clean conscience. I won’t support evil.
The issue here isn’t your about your conscious. The majority of people do use these and those people are being influenced.
Your comment has a sort of fuck you I got mine vibe to it.

You just assumed I use those platforms which makes you the fool here.
You not supporting evil doesn’t stop evil. To try for another approach here since you seem rather dense, evil prevails when good men do nothing.
I’m sure you’ll just attack that too becuase what’s important here to you is your feelings. Doing something was never going to be an option for you
And what are you doing Mr. Holier-than-thou?
I mean, congrats? Kind of irrelevant to the discussion here, then.

No they’re capitalists. They base their success off of money. No users or even less users, means less money.
Look at all the bad news coming out about Tesla and Musk all together, and his wealth increased from like 300bil to 700bil :/
