I will never understand people's innate desire to pull the ladder up behind them after they've achieved a comfortable life.

Then again I've never strived for comfort, just the rarest thing of all... equality.

Isn't having a satisfying life subjective?

Wasn't homosexuality still considered a disease in the DSM-III?

Considering the shift in the Overton window the last 50 years in the USA, radically center is right wing.

So figure out when market manipulators are going to act? You'd have to be colluding along side them to know this.

This data that the tech Giants hold close to their chest belongs to the people and should be released for competitors to use in their products.

I envision companies competing on UX/privacy/ect while all using the same data set. People should be able to use Myspace to talk to their grandparents on Facebook.

How it is now is like if Ma Bell was never broken up, and we were only able to use our AT&T phone and data plan to talk to other AT&T customers only. How could any other phone company start with such barriers in place.

But who am I? Just the last human.

It's so sad that undoing horrible laws and ineffective prohibitions must come down to dollars and cents, rather than the innate freedom we all should have.

Land of the fee, home of the slave.

Governments in capitalist societies are committees of the rich.

The system is working as intended.

"I like to bring up black death in discussions when people complain that our current time is "difficult"."

IMO, we can do so much more with the technological advances we've made. We have used technology to tame nature, but are unable to tame the beast within ourselves.

Having to compare our information age society with feudal societies wracked with the plague to prove how much better things are proves my point. Things should be way better, but they aren't outside of the small bubbles that are slowly popping/deflating in the first world.

When the people have nothing left to lose, they will make the right choice and strike.

The key is to give the working class the slightest bit of hope to cling onto.

People will accept lots of abuse if they think there is still a chance of making it in life if they obey their masters.

And so the truth is laid bare.

Capital > humanity

This is why people is not free to move where they can find the most benefit, but capital is.

Priorities.

Cassettes seem very durable compared to CDs and vinyl.
