Everywhere I look, even on the internet, I see people saying “the ads make it possible for me to watch this,” and it’s a phrase that I hate.
The rich oligarchs have propagandized everyone into accepting the oppressive attention economy. It’s already over, it happened.
Of course, I have the attention economy of North Korea minus Eritrea, divided by the entire EU: completely and absolutely broke, no attention anywhere, certainly none in the attention budget.
Obedience isn't the same as acceptance though. Systems of oppression would not be such if the majority of people could ignore them.
Yes it's happening, but we still have the power to stop it.
My apologies. I didn’t intend for my words to compete with yours.
I’ll go downvote my comments.
Bruh I feel where you're coming from! If anything talking to you has reminded me that we need to speak up!
