He shoulda just said he was training an ai model!

Bigger stuff does need to happen. Nobody in power is even really opposing the bad stuff happening.

But this movement will still have power. It doesn't have to be a fatal hit, to be effective. The power doesn't come from striking, it comes from engaging the masses and giving them direction, people are scared, they're not going to go from 0 to 100, it needs to start small. People want to do something and doing something will give them hope, which is desperately needed right now. One day may not feel like much, but the companies would feel it, and be scared, especially if a lot of people participated. They would feel the absence, and know how huge the numbers are, against them. It's a shot over the wall. It's a display of power, it's a warning shot.

It also has the power to get people on board for longer term methods, people start thinking about what they're buying and what they can go without, on an individual basis, re-examining what they're buy and from who. It might cost $5 more from the small seller, but the small seller makes it themselves and doesn't support fascism.

We have all the power really, we just need to unite in one flock of movement. You're right, we could all go in for the death shot, stop buying from one company entirely, one by one, collapsing them, but how do you organise that when algorithms are controllable and all the social media are owned by these people who are, essentially, the enemy. (except tiktok, that was popular / populated enough and not owned by the same people, hence the hostile take over, they were organising over there, and Bam, instantly organised a hostile take over. Look up tallgirl6234, on tiktok, she organised a massive 3 month long boycotting set up, starting with Kelloggs and including all the other evil overlords)

Big movements, can and do start small. People need to hear about it, and more will join, that alone has ultimate power. The most important thing is numbers. Plus those billions in profits, come from the billions of people. Getting billions of people together, and then doing some capitalism damage, starts somewhere. Join every movement. One or more might be the steamroller that takes it all down.

Yeah, there's a line being held by fed employees, they aren't moving. Bit cringe of me to refer to reddit, but there's a thread over there, for fed employees and they're talking about how to fight, they're being offered (pressured into) redundancy packages that they aren't allowed to see, until they agree to take them, but they're holding out and not taking them.

Don't forget about the bugs! Bees and wasps, funnelled right at your face. Pure, car crash convenience.

Meh, they've got enough money for therapy.

The fact he's trying to hide it, speaks volumes. He knows its wrong.

I think they just don't know. People are oversaturated and oversaturated and overloaded, and suffering for scraps, nobody has time, mental space or money to be choosy. Researching companies, suspiciously doesn't show results. Finding that information isn't easy, by design. It might be released, on the same day something else happens. But mostly people aren't watching the news to the depth required to soak that stuff in, and don't have the extra energy to soak anything in. Everything sent into our hands and eyes as news is controlled by a few with vested inrests. It would be lovely if there was a place that collected atrocities and kept them fresh. Who stopped buying nestle after all the horrible things they've done. I can bet you have supported a company with your dollar, that's responsible for huge atrocities, it's almost impossible to avoid. Look at the stuff happening in the Congo atm, all the top brands, committing atrocities for new phones to be built. How much have we heard about all of that? There's so much. Where do you start. Funny story, I watched resident evil with my kid, just recently, and it was terrifying for whole new reasons. A top company who owns everything, goes into weapon manufacturing and creating advanced bio weapons, accidentally releases it, then doubles down continuously, shutting thousands in to die, and firing into crouds to cover up what it did. And that doesn't seem far fetched, any more. All for the ever expansion of money, something that has a finite amount set. Literally the only way to achieve ever expansion is to commit atrocities, there's a point where you take too much and the only option is atrocities to make more. And that's capitalism, baby!!

Omfg. What a trash article. Great examples of the spin the politicians are trying on, of tiktok. because people can use it to unite against an unjust system and that made them scared and therefore launch a negative campaign and force a take over of the whole app. I mean, come on!! Such a bad article.

There's more misinformation on fb. Marky Z, when asked why he let's all a that just spread around, said, he thinks people can just tell stuff is lies by looking at it. He knows that isn't true.

Yeah! She didn't get very far with it. They kept running her around in circles. If we're talking about the same one.... I mean that's probably gotta happen a lot, really.

Idea is good, in principal. Can I just offer some thoughts to get things happening smoothly.

Bullying, what type? I can only offer general overall advice without specifics. So I'll offer some food for thought, What if that person is neurodivergent and doesn't understand they're bullying, or coming across too blunt. I would suggest, address the behaviour directly, succinctly and without judgement.

Talk as if they're an alien and don't understand our culture, and you have belief once they understand they will step up. But say it as plainly, in the least amount of words possible. Don't leave room to debate, just straight plain facts. This causes this. Please don't.

Ask how you can help them be more effective in positive engagement.

On a personal note it's always a good idea to listen to the messages your body is giving you, those emotions are a need your body has, it isn't about anyone else, it's about your lived experience and how comfortable you are in your environment. Times you haven't felt safe can be a trigger for you in the future, and then bullies words hurt more. If you feel you have unhealed trauma or a low sense of self and self worth because the world in general has chewed you up, (which it does so often it's almost a universal experience) find and build on yourself in those areas. It doesn't minimise that the bullies are harmful, just utilise their efforts to find places you can up skill and heal, if they are being highlighted for you. They still suck. You just take what they give you and turn it into a tool to build on yourself and build yourself up. Be genuine, curious and open and deep dive on your feelings. Eventually, after studying what's freely available out there and uplevelling your sense of self, you start to see all of the bullies behaviours are entirely about their own broken insides and damage. It's really hard to be upset by words from someone you pity.

Avoiding toxic environments is a better way to live. Finding ways to make that environment non toxic is a good life philosophy. Do your labour laws already have protections built in to protect you from psychological abusive type behaviours in the workplace?

Side note: it never fails to miff me, that bible bashers burned women and children alive at the stake, and instead of seeing that as a travesty, media backs up the bible bashers and demonises witches. People who were mainly midwives and healers. It hurts my brain.

It doesn have to have exactly the same number of people die. It's a genocide and they're literally trying to kill all of the Palestinians. It's not about matching numbers, it's about the definition.
