• Oh almost like if in capitalism they didn’t say that oligarchys are a problem. What we needed is to send these giants down.

    That would prove difficult considering money rules, you can make people do you bidding, make them disappear and suffer little to no consequences.

    So what we needed is a decent anti-monopoly, anti-oligarchy force.

    Just like when the us gov dismantled AT&T into thousands of smaller different cervices and that created things like mobile rputhers and etc.

    Soo the, Google at this point is putting down more inovatjon that he is bringing it to the table.

    Problem is not capitalism, it’s all that power centered in the same place. Almost like a dictatorship.

      Well that was when anti trust laws actually worked ! Alphabet , meta etc are literally sucking americans poor. Still we dont see anything !

      • Tbh as a Climat activist who grew up surrounded by deniers …yhe… the feeling of hopeless is strong. But hey I have been seeing slow and gradual change, when things are getting bad.

        At least in your scenario (at the moment) when they go down we might be able to reverse the worse consequences. Unlike climate where we probably just fucked.

          Our planet has had good and bad climates , but humans have fucked it intentionally and there seems to be nor reluctance or remorse in the rich to fuck it even more , it will probably end in jeopardising human life , mostly the poor will suffer and die , but i am quite sure that planet will find ways to recover ! Once the humans are gone !

          • Oh for fuck sake, yes when I say planet I mean the delicate ecosystem that supports all life. See even better I still get downvoated by shit heads

      The problem isn’t capitalism, it’s just the system that allows power to be centralized through market forces and used to bribe regulatory bodies. Oh wait…
