Every one of these "production shell companies" that Thiel and them finance each have a marketing budget. That budget goes to click farms and they don't just promote the project, they drive engagement by pissing people off and everyone keeps falling for the fake negativity.
Ya'll don't have to be weird, aggressive and insincere anymore. Just say thinkgs that you really care about and we'll actually get workers rights reforms and honest management of public goods.
I left my wallet at my bodega. got it back with cash in it. I lady I never met before and never will kindly demanded I get rung out before her even though I got out of the line to find something at the grocery store. If you stop letting twitter set the tone for your life, you'll see how you're surrounded by kindness.
Stop getting angry over fake comments and start feeling optimist that most of us are actually nice people when we're not on the internet.
Ya, its harder and harder to find a meaningful amount of time to actually protest and organize with work picking back up but it's real easy to fire off a bunch of comments or tweets over my morning coffee.
I think there's this weird false dicohotomy where we're supposed to pretend that every single post/comment is the entirety of the context for an action or decision. For some reason you can't imagine me sitting in my boxers with my feet up on my desk and drinking my morning coffee BEFORE I start my day. This isn't "my whole day" anymore than its yours. Why talk like it is? This is posting, organizing is something else.
