  • I stopped using Reddit on my phone, which was most of my Reddit time, but I still use it on my PC.

    On mobile I exclusively browse Lemmy.

    I would totally migrate completely to Lemmy, but the general audience here is a bit too... radicalised for me. Sometimes I just want to relax, read some interesting link and interact in the comments.


  • We didn't chose our leaders. Leaders got billions because we chose to do nothing.

    Why do you think corporations strive in America and at the same time the people gets the shit (bad labour laws, bad healthcare, bad wages) compared to Europe? Because they're better?

    Fuck no, it's because of Europe. The founding fathers created a "weak" government on purpose, leaving the power to we the people. Why do you think we're the only country in the world with a Second Amendment?

    (Except Mexico and Guatemala but that's a different story...)

    But guess what, Americans are lazy, we had a duty and we didn't answer the call... so who filled the hole? People with ambitions. And people with ambitions create companies, and companies value profits, not wellbeing.

    We didn't chose billionaires. Billionaires got billions because we chose to do nothing.



  • some brands use slave labor or child labor, some brands use toxic chemicals, some brands destroy our environment

    That's a stance I can only admire, but you're basically removing any decently priced piece of technology from your life, starting from the iPhone.

    We can totally buy fair stuff made 100% in America which costs probably 5x the price of the same article built in China, but for a lot of people, the wallet is a higher priority if they have to choose between being ethic or buying food for their family.
