It's not really a choice though. We have to work harder, longer, faster for a wage that doesn't increase anywhere as fast as the efficiency of the workers. We have no time to do things the old way. I literally sacrificed a week of vacation to set up my homelab because I want to reduce my dependency on techbro bullshit. In many countries everything is done via smartphones. It's near impossible to live without one. It wouldn't be so bad if techbros wouldn't come up with addiction driven software, but here we are.
And yes, many people are brainwashed into hating vegans. They are being controlled by the media they consume.
If our schools would teach the children his fucking bad all this tech is, we might stand a chance. But again, schools are controlled by rich assholes in power.
Not really. I'd rather not have had to go through that and instead I'd rather have relaxed during my vacation. In the past this would have been possible after work hours. Now I'm so fucking wasted after work, I prefer to mindlessly rewatch Deep Space 9. I just don't have the capacity to regain control of my life. Big tech is forcing their shit upon us all and it's very difficult to escape all that. The regular person will likely not have the know-how to do this, so they're stuck with what is being spoon fed to us all.
