Cognitive dissonance is really strong if you have to question the way you were living your whole life when questioning the current situation. This makes those people far more likely to be easy prey for far-right propaganda than to be waking up, I’m afraid.

Noone ever thinks about the lawyers

You’re missing that the climate crisis is not a problem that can be solved by consumers, that’s what BP wants to make you believe by introducing the carbon footprint. Those companies are actively working to hold on to the status quo because they have lots of money flowing their way until things change.

The message behind this is not to stop buying from those companies, it’s that they are knowingly destroying our future and that we have a right to defend ourselves and this future.

I didn’t say he does this to protect employees, I think he’s doing this to protect hate speech on Twitter. Someone says something discriminating or other some other right wing bullshit on Twitter? Can’t fire them because that might get really expensive.

I’d say it could lead to some kind of revolutionary movement, but for that it would be helpful if there was already some kind of organized resistance, which I think is not the case. It’s definitely a test of Putin’s power and will show how good repression and propaganda have been. I’m afraid it’s been good and if there is a shift in power, it will just be new assholes with money and weapons, not a revolution. But we’ll see, it’s definitely interesting to watch.

That’s like suggesting calling your phone provider when your phone doesn’t work.

It’s mainly the developer tools that were way better than in any other browser for a while. I think Firefox has caught up and I thought about switching a couple of times, but old habits die hard.

Right, so everyone should just do without synchronization to mobile devices or set up their own Bitwarden. That sounds like a solution for the masses.
