Young people in China are becoming more rebellious, questioning their nation’s traditional expectations of career and family
Young people in China are becoming more rebellious, questioning their nation’s traditional expectations of career and family
I’m waiting for Gen Z to realize that they’ve grown up interconnected and have the ability to coordinate like no one ever could before and when they realize that I expect them to flip the monopoly board.
This is exactly why the billionaires are dismantling the current social media platforms. Organizing is the only threat they truly fear.
As phrased in a recent anti-union campaign by Amazon: Watch out, your co-workers might be “vulnerable to organizing”.
Can you expand on how billionaires are dismantling social media?
did you miss what happened to twitter?
No. I don’t see how it was “dismantled.” Can you explain?
Rate limiting and heavily pushed “premium” options have made Twitter near useless for large scale organizing.
600 posts a day makes it nearly useless for organizing?
Have you attempted to use the platform since the rate limiting? It’s approximately 2-3 searches before you’re rate limited out of the app for 24+ hours.
You’re also unable to view comments unless you’re logged in, so you’re required to give them semi-accurate information for an account too.
It’s literally useless for organizing unless you pay for it, which defeats the entire purpose of wide spread reach like it used to have.
Okay so twitter is useless. What about all of the other social media sites out there?
Its capitalist owners rendered it useless for political organization.
This is just repeating the claim. Can you explain how so?
It is wasteful by way of being botted up to the point of inefficiency for individual political communication and its owners are happy to take payments from abusive operators responsible for the bots, if not doing the botting themselves. That’s just Twitter. Other platforms experience similar crapitalist growing pains albeit not all exactly in the same way. For profit motivated entities, there’s always a diminishing ROI on politically actionable systems.
Twitter was a bot fest long before Musk took it over. And that isn’t a problem with billionaires, but an inherent problem with system itself that can be, and is, exploited by plenty of people.
I would expect nothing of the sort. They’re already been misdirected into the blanket “boomers bad” mentality, that all the old people living in poverty are somehow to blame for all their ills.
The ruling class will continue to rule, because they know exactly how to manipulate the plebs.
Of course it’s the super rich, but who is voting for policies that support the super rich? It’s not young people.
Well the young don’t vote at all most of the time.
But when was the last time you saw a party with policies that didn’t support the super rich? Since Reagan, no matter if the president wears a red or blue tie, the rich have gotten richer.
The only choice is how much poorer the poor get, with a side order of “other” hate. When the Zoomers are 50, don’t worry. There’ll be a whole new bunch of “others” to hate on, to distract them from the fact that they can just barely pay the rent. The boomers thought they’d be different too. Peace and love and hippies and Woodstock. Gen Z will be no different.
Oh you’re just doing some “both sides” doomerism. Got it.
Aw, reading comprehension too much for you?
Haha okay dude, you’re clearly out of touch with the youth these days. Gen Z says “okay boomer” and that’s pretty much it en masse. Gen Z is however not putting up with corporate bullshit as much.
