It pisses me off so much because the goddamn problem is RIGHT IN FRONT of everyone's eyes and yet so much energy is spent on bullshitting the masses....I want off this ride

How else make line go up?

Is it that clear? What is the problem and what would be your aproach to a solution?

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

The problem is the entrenchment of authoritarian techno-feudalism combined with the hubris of "might makes right". The solution is wildcat strikes.

I'd say the solution is a cultural shift.

We need to value different things.

  1. Stop thinking those who have more deserve more (shut up, most of you do it.)
  2. Stop thinking those who have less deserve less.
  3. Stop thinking products are priced according to what they cost to bring to market. They are priced according to what our dumbasses are willing to pay.
  4. Stop spending money on things you can be getting for free.
  5. Stop praising people for what they spend their money on.
  6. Stop expecting praise for what you spend your money on.
  7. Start praising people for what they do, not what they buy (notice there's a lot less praise to go around now.)
  8. Value modesty. Consume less. Spend less. Do more.

Pretty much all the hippie-psychedelic counterculture that was snuffed out in the 80s was correct. Grow your hair out, guys. You've been conditioned to keep it short, and it looks like shit.

I think you may be correct in the sense that a great cultural change needs to occur for people to even contemplate that a wildcat strike as an option exists and is viable in halting the mechanisms of oppression/repression.
