People don’t get this. Steve’s team has definitely less than 20, and I’ve seen weeks where GN pumbs out 7+ videos, there was a week recently where they did 4 case reviews the same week, and that was just case reviews, they had other videos. LTT has at least 5x the number of employees, of course he can pump out way more videos.

While doing that, let’s block X and Meta as well.

I’m with you, comrade. People on Lemmy need to understand that as long as you’re playing by capitalism rules, you’ve already lost. Liberal ideologies are a losing game, you can’t win if you’re playing the same game as the people who WILL use their money and power to oppress you. This american election is the proof. A man with 400+ billion can play by any rules in the capitalism game.

…in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself. -Rousseau

Too diplomatic even.

If we ban social media companies* we won’t.

Privately owned social media is a tool of media manipulation. You can change the weights of some inscrutable algorithm and boost exposure to political ideologies that you want while no one can truly make a case against you, “it’s just the algorithm” they say. There’s no scenario where they should be allowed to exist in a sovereign country.

I’ve recently been seeing lots of Archer references around, and they make me very happy. This makes me happy, thanks.

Americans are blind. They think their capitalism is also not state funded. The only difference is that in China corporations are owned by the state, and in the USA the state is owned by corporations. “It’s not fair” yeah, obviously it isn’t, the USA has been imperialistic and monopolistic over the entire global south for the past 7 decades, nobody wants to be playing with your bullshit rules anymore. The “free market” is heavily stacked in their favor, and always will be. Case in point? BRICS are about to move away from the dollar, and the USA immediately goes ballistic saying it will impose tariffs and sanctions and whatnot if we dare challenge their authority. Where’s the free market in that? Where’s the free market when your 2nd in command has said before that the USA will invade and coup whatever country they feel like it in order to get resources? Yeah, we’re not playing your stupid free market game anymore, it’s rigged. And yes, China is part of the global south, they have been so since they were oppressed and enslaved and explored by the global north for decades, they just did a good job of turning around. I wish my country had done as good of a job…
