      Voting with our dollars is much more effective. Whenever possible, don’t buy evil. Evil is the cheaper option because they really need your support, or else they’re beached. This is a big reason for wage stagnation and a permanent underclass.

      Imagine thinking that sitting on your ass commenting on lemmy is gonna make you matter.

      Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.

      I love this site. I love the political landscape of it for the most part, but seeing all of this bullshit is starting to get to me bc I know people just like this. People that listen to rage against the machine and say death to all nations but have never done charity work in their life, nor tried to actually push the political agenda they believe in in a meaningful way (commenting online and consuming socialist media doesn’t count, sowwy.)

      Frankly, it’s pitiful.

        Are you the one guy who tries to walk up to corporate front desks with a resume and firm handshake, loudly asks for a job, only to realize how out of touch you are 3 after the receptionist tells you applications are all online now?

        I spend dozens and dozens of unpaid hours a month in my free time developing open source hardware and software and give the schematics away for free. That dedicated enough for you? You have no idea what goes on in the personal lives of each and every member of a forum, and you’re painting us all with a broad brush right now.

        I encourage others to reply to this comment on what it is they contribute to their cause. Because I’d be interested to hear that. On the Internet, we’re just words on a screen that are easily categorized onto groups of people. But people are individuals, everybody has a story.
