This is a problem - too many people still refuse to acknowledge the reality of the depth of priviledges of wealth.
Do you get it? Yes. Do I get it? I've been homeless. Does hacker news get it? Eh... Look around at some of the comments, and notice that most of the folks actively engaged are on our level. And this isnt exactly a hot topic.
Having to scroll past this headline while they search for that next investment is healthy for those neo-feudalist deniers among us.
That's what this is about.
So, how are you gonna vote to fix this? That's not exactly a high risk, antisocial behavior. Some people even still consider such your moral duty.
Heck, join or donate to the DSA. Or your local Anarchist/Communist group that puts on a community meal. Teach your skills. Do something, anything other than just complain about how powerless you feel, and how nothing is getting done.
I for one welcome the future days when hacker news keeps up with the IWW - you programmers are about to end up like auto factory workers, and you need to know how to react.
Fuck it - wanna start a co-op VPN?
- craftoman 7y agoWhat do mean it's not hot topic and who told you that anarchist/communist groups are considered wise choice or something positive? Wanna know what is happening with communist groups in Eastern Europe where most of the communist people that have businesses there are underpaying their employees? Wanna know about the drugs in anarchist groups and how they depend on hierarchy? Wanna know about their rotten utopia? I have a Communist friend, the guy is giving money to the communist group every month and they are forcing him to bring people in and sell their manifesto (what they call "newspaper")
