I don't see how people selling keychains (physical items) helped corporations steal data.
Keychain just a stand in for anything. More like how someone making videos of making key chains used patent trolls to build tools to scan all the videos they can in order to find users they can take down. Just one example. The little lefty entrepreneur was used to beat the old school leftists into the dirty on behalf of the corporate interests. Now everything is owned by corporate and we lost the internet to racist nazis. There's a moment 20 years ago things could have been different that we'll never get back. Frontier was new and we needed to rally around the wagon to defend the frontier. Instead we sold out.
And now all the lefties are in the smallest corner of the internet and the rest of the internet and social media is owned by the capitalist and nazis. It all started by forgetting the roots and in favor of selling our key chains and trying to build a market rather than a collaborative space.
What's with the obsession with "lefties" vs nazis?? Sounds like somebody stayed on the propaganda carousel a bit too long.
You choose what parts of the internet you want to use, so who cares if 99% is profit oriented garbage, honestly.
People choose to publicly share their stuff for free, so of course it's gonna be taken advantage of. That's literally capitalism.
Yea it's so crazy. Lol
Everything is fine. Nazis are marching in streets again primarily driven by online recruitment. Billionaires are investing in removing leftist from digital spaces to facilitate this. But because I care, I'm obsessed.
I'll just choose to hang out here with the people who say they oppose this stuff but really, they're just what, posting about beans and moths while nazis take over the government, March in the street and feed children their content through multiple pipelines that are growing because there's fuck all resistance. After all the "resistance" is busy trying to decide which hole they want to hide in.
