MODERATORS
 

CEOs of all companies have done or said something shady/inappropriate/immoral during their lifetime. Let's collect and discuss alternatives!

Stop using anything anything you don't produce yourself or someone you know who is not shady in any way (implant a chip in their head to scan their brain for any shady thoughts or wrongdoings throughout their lifetime).

Alternatives to:

  • Every single OS
  • Every single software/hardware
  • Every single phone manufacturer
  • Every single car manufacturer
  • Every single construction company (move to a hut in the forest)
  • Every single farmer (stop eating vegetables and fruits)
  • Every single food producer (stop eating/drinking anything unless you produce it yourself or dig a well for water)
  • Every single everything

There is no ethical consumption under Capitalism

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

I hope this is a joke post

This perfectly reflects what I've been seeing here on lemmy. Mindless outrage cancel culture train.

It's sad to see much more moderate and reasonable takes on reddit.

Earlier today I found many lemmians that suggested abolishing freedom of speech because of bigotry. They are absolutely nuts on here.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, moderate change will save the ecosystem. Reasonable actions are what we need to slowly decelerate the train and allow us to turn. Which will be possible after how long? When do we see these results? We've been trying your way for decades in case you missed it. Look where it's gotten us.

Get the fuck out of here.

Extremism is always done for some self proclaimed greater good.

I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Yes I think that living things continuing to be alive is a greater good than people getting rich. If you don't see it that way, your opinion of me is meaningless to me. If you don't see it that way, you are actually evil. In the literal sense. I'm not exaggerating or trying to get a reaction with that.

If you think that we should kill off entire lineages of life so elon can make more rockets isn't extremism you're delusional. You think I'm extremist but look at your own position. Maintaining the status quo, given the abundance of evidence about where that is taking us, IS EXTREMIST you daft cunt.

  • OS: turn the computer off
  • Software/hardware: turn it off
  • Phone: off
  • Car: don't drive
  • Construction: buildings allow the man to control your surroundings
  • Farmers: farms allow the man to control your vegetables
  • Food producers: only eat used food
[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Where should I gather used food?

Reactionary humor. Subtle.

[–] alleycat@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

The solution is, of course, to abolish capitalism (and super-rich CEOs).

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Are you going to write an OS by yourself…!? Are you going to manufacture modern CPU’s by yourself…!? Are you going to violate other people’s bodily autonomy by forcibly implant (immorally built) tech inside them…!?

Are you brain meltingly high…!? Are you full tilt insane…!?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Lemmy users are mostly crazy people

you do understand you live in a society of inter-operating humans, right? a certain level of privacy will only exist if you live on an island of yourself.

im not saying 'no' to privacy, just that we need to find happy mediums where conglomerates dont use our own information against us and we also dont live in a sealed off prison of our own making.

this post is so me

I get its a joke but I don't use anything I don't absoultely have to now because I don't like them. smartphones, social media and streaming are top common things I have little to nothing to do with.
