The system is a product of each and everyone of us...
Except the rich and powerful have disproportionate control over perpetuating how the system works.
So fuck it it. No. You are dead wrong. This isn't just the system. This is a few entrenched interests continuing to oppress everyone else. And I think this way of thinking is part of the way that broken system is perpetuated.
The rich and powerful control the narrative. They use that narrative to craft stories to keep people's anger and extremism directed inwards.
This isn't some great mystery. It's just the reality of what tyranny actually looks like.
I am one of those. I ditched Signal and went back to the stock sms app and adopted matrix. Haven't looked back since. The reality is that Signal dropping support for sms wasn't going to stop me from using SMS. For that, other people need to be convinced to stop using it at the same time. Signal didn't have nearly the market size needed to make that happen. And now that card is played, and nothing has changed. Signal is just another messaging app among hundreds. At least matrix offers a real paradigm shift.
Headphones do all this already. No mind control is a nice little benefit too.
Just another day in the post-truth age. This and much more awaits in a society that allows a handful of algorithms unfettered editorial control over what people think.
First we learned that idiocracy was a documentary. Now we are learning that Minority Report was a documentary too.
Damn, what a time to be alive.
Something tells me the last thing diehard MAGAs want is another California.
Working in a team, means you have to be able to work with other people. It's just a functional requirement of any such job. I get the impression that you are in denial about this reality.
Should you "come clean" with future employers? Yes. Be honest about what you can or can't do and set boundaries. That also means being honest with yourself about what the job requirements really are. You will continue to be miserable if you don't do these things.
Dared create an account on an instance administered by controversial people, to say the least.
Personally, I couldn't care less about the user names. Ad hominems are worthless, even if certain servers have certain tendencies. At the end of the day, only the substance of the argument, and whether it passes critical thought, matters. Information isn't truth. Information is worthless.
Nothing "safe" about making completely unappealing games.
Information is not truth. A do or die slogan for the 21st century.
