The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Yup. I'm about to suggest about half a dozen people to watch a movie on Netflix I pirated last night. Leave the World Behind. I highly reccomend you see this to understand my last statement here. I have "suggested" to a few dozen people to watch Hulu for Firefly.

They don't get my money because I don't give a flying fuck to support the extortion of the people this tyrrany that's been running since Crowley and even longer. Looks free but there was never an end to slavery. It just stopped giving a shit about your color. To counter, goes over everyone's head one way or another. Doesn't matter. All life will die on this planet in less than a decade.

Holy moly that comment took a turn.

Yeah, but did you get it at the "counter?"

[–] poopkins@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, I don't get it.

The counter is that the slavery of everyone doesn't mean they're "not racist" by applying slavery "to white people too." They've been enslaving white people since way before we came to the US. I am, by family, English & Irish. So just because I'm blond, blue and white don't mean I'm not ready to WAR against slavery by the corporations or any bullshit hedgemony. Democratic party is as guilty as the republicans and their claim to fight is just sucker lies. They don't fight shit for real and Biden is just Trumps most active cock sucking bitch.

I don't mean this in any disrespectful way at all, but I'm completely missing the context of what you're trying to tell me and genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.

Then ask questions. I have no problem helping to understand but if you're just wavng wide wand agians the whole shebang then say goodbye with your ignorance.

[–] poopkins@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hey buddy, I have a question. What are you talking about?

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

Corporate slavery.

Jesse, WTF are you talking about?

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

Sucks being uneducated, especially when folks don't care to help because you're a condescending dick about it. Not to mention religiously expletive.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

RIP

[–] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works -1 points 11 months ago

Ditto.
