Oh my god you idiots IT'S JUST CAPITALISM. Stop trying to go AROUND the problem you all clearly see. Why do we need to delude ourselves to protect a system that CLEARLY SCREWS YOU, and then make up some silly bullshit like "subscription feudalism"?
We are witnessing the birth of "Subscription Feudalism." You don't own your software, your music, your books, or even your car's features anymore. You are just a permanent tenant in a world owned by five companies.
@ArtsyMarx1st The brain worms are still under the guise of pro-capitalist so they need to use stupid terms that skirt around the core of the issue: capitalism. It's so frustrating seeing because EVERYONE knows/understands the bullshit, but delude themselves that they need to make shit up.
@pubity Neither party represent you as worker, and both parties AGREE on oppressing you. Be it continuing wars, continuing genocide, denying you healthcare, or even allowing you speak and have privacy. This isn't democrats v republicans, it's ALWAYS been labor v bourgeoise/elites.
See how electing one capitalist party instead of the other capitalist party gets you NO WHERE. Their whole "lesser of 2 evils" is just furthering it. 2028 should be a year where a 3rd party candidate SWEEPS these motherfuckers. You don't hate them enough.
Democratic lawmakers are preparing a "Project 2029" plan for if a Democrat wins the 2028 Presidency.
It includes a potential ban on social media for everyone under 16 in the U.S. and a nationwide ban on phones in schools for students.
You know what's funny Back in 2016/2015? YT/Google worried about being "ad friendly" under the guise of "family friendly". This led to the adpocalypse, demonetization, and mass censorship. YT has ALREADY personally done measures for all the shit they're "worried" about.
The UK Government want to completely control the Internet and its getting a bit ridiculous.
So they ban under 16s from watching YouTube. Now they're trying to control what's shown on YouTube for everyone else.
Whilst acting like it's about child safety. Using it as a shield.
@astaranx "If you don't use within 3 years then that's on you"
"If you don't use your account within 2 years..."
"If you don't use your account within 6 months and give ID"
"If not connected to the internet, don't provide ID, and haven't paid PSN within 90 days you lose your account"
Fucking finally someone says it's the system in which everything functions over, not just "greed". They could be greedy yes. But the system is built on the modus operandi of extracting profit in any way possible. That is different from personal feelings greed.
- People start to love PlayStation for its Japanese identity
- Management notices that majority of players come from US/EU
- Management becomes American
- PlayStation gives up Japanese identity starts to make product for investors, not fans
> capitalism is the root of evil
@Darth_Peachez It's one reason why everyone at a local level should be in favor and pushing for municipal internet. I never considered this angle, and it's a good point.
Section 224 is going to permanently merge the US military-industrial-technological-intelligence complex with the Israeli, and make it impossible to disentangle once it is implemented. It will forever end the possibility of a US break with Israel. It will ensure permanent US enslavement to Zionism and Israeli Jewish supremacy. This is why Netanyahu, Lindsay Graham, Huckabee, Fetterman (who is merely a proxy for a Zionist Jew Mossad handler), AIPAC, WINEP, J-Street, the entire Zionist Israel lobby network came out recently to push the line (also adopted by AOCIA after it got the green-light from them) that the military aid to Israel can be stopped entirely, because that creates the problem of mobilization efforts to cut it off which creates pressure on the genocidal Israeli death and rape-cult.
The Zionist Israeli Jewish supremacists figured out a way to permanently get around that using their total control over the media and political class to push it through: Section 224. And it is going to pass now. Unless there is massive mobilization from now on against it, it will pass.
Bernie Sanders gave some token symbolic opposition to it, but barely ever talks about it or what it means. Massie and Ro Khanna have been more vocal, but that's pretty much it. No one else in the political class is saying anything about this, and no one in the media class and barely anyone in the epic based pseudo-radical alt-media class is saying anything about it.
I am going to regularly point this out because I want to make sure that once it is passed I will be on the record as having consistently and repeatedly done whatever I could to expose it. Take note of those who have massive platforms who do not do this, as it tells you exactly what they are.
With Sony killing physicals, not many are bringing up variable pricing as much. That is just as, if not more important than the prices not going down. You see this in grocery stores, and plane tickets. It's one of the most sneaky kinds of theft.
@zei_squirrel Seeing the history of what happens after they get into your nation everyone should be extremely worried. From Haiti to now Venezuela if you care about your kids specifically, and much more, this should be opposed by 100% of America.
@MarxoidNess I've heard that Finland and Norway have been facing a stripping of policies too, due to conservative pull. Slow drive to the right, which means undoing of the reformist ideas. Really points to how you don't negotiate with capitalism, because it never ceases for more.
Funny how things change so fast right? The TOS update that brought people's awareness was back in April. 3 months later, bought movies have been stripped from consoles, with the announcement of no physical games in the near future. Lawsuits won't get you out of the hell hole.
Playstation acaba de actualizar sus tรฉrminos de uso prohibiendo a sus usuarios denunciarles en caso de que ocurra cualquier cosa con su cuenta o consola.
Lo gracioso es que para usar la PS5 estas obligado a aceptarlos, si no, se queda bloqueada en esta pantalla.
@kumuoh I'm of the idea that it'll always be moving spaces and that no matter what it will always exist. NSFW stuff is a part of humans, whether people want to acknowledge it or not. There's a reason sex work is the longest profession out there.
Capitalists will try to do anything to extract profits and keep themselves in power. As long as corporate foundation remains in tact and the they are the owners, expect to find many similar scenarios. You think eggs are bad? Nestle would collaborate to deny you water.
New reporting reveals that executives from Americaโs three biggest egg producers began colluding to keep egg prices high in 2022.
Executives from Cal-Maine Foods, Hickmanโs, and Versova spoke of the phone phone and messaged to coordinate bids and trading on eggs.
While these producers blamed avian flu, they were actively and illegally collaborating to keep the price of eggs high.

The people have a say in this, and it's a matter of everyone collectively doing it. I'll keep saying that general strikes that incorporate many pro-labor, and anti-war demands ought to also include internet freedoms. This is left out of many general strike demands.
Itโs now out in the open: whatโs been known in Brussels for a while is coming.
Age verification, internet controls, and likely chat-scanning laws are on the way.

@Kaimandante Even in the opposite idea through the colonial overtaking of land/civilizations throughout history prove the same thing too, just as an inverse. It was forceful revolution for colonizers. These type of people don't part peacefully with power.
Almost like a nation built on fucking genocide, and imperialism will inevitably use those pillars of how the society acts and maintains itself on its own citizens.
