I think you're actually confused about what it is I believe.
What I initially said was that, if I join a class action suit, it's not because I'm looking for a payout, but rather that I want to punish the corporation, and possibly push them (and the government) to enact real, lasting change.
I also said that it's not even a good way to change things, let alone the best.
i get that but it won't accomplish change, if we want change we need to organize, everything else is a distraction
It literally has accomplished change though. Numerous times.
you keep telling yourself that, i'm sure microsoft having to pay the equivelent of some change from the back of their sofa will really stop them from doing whatever the fuck they want
