Just curious, why are you assuming they are American?

Reddit mods want to be activists and be a part of this, but they are too afraid of losing the tiny irrelevant piece of power they have to actually do anything.

That is untrue. Reddit would do just fine without their mods. Mods dont moderate subreddits out of the goodness of their heart to volunteer their time. They do it because they like having power over their communities. Reddit is threatening to take away that power from them, which is why they all crumbled so fast. It is unbelievably easy to find new people to take power over an internet community.

Certainly could be, but probably an optimistic take. Most likely they’re just trying to do what corporations have been doing for ages, which is to weaponize government policy to prevent competition. They don’t want restrictions that will materially impact their product, they want restrictions that will materially impact startups to make it more difficult for them to intrude on the established space.

They are legally required to have that banner. Sorry.

Why have both in cars? A car is expected to last 10, 15 years at least and C to C is already starting to become the new standard. I feel like if you buy a car, you can probably buy a phone cord for it…

Capitalism is not an ideology though. It’s just what naturally happens when humans interact with each other. Saying it’s an ideology is like saying atheism is a religion. No, it’s what happens when there is no religion.

Crime is also not endemic to capitalism. It happens in all societies, including communist ones.

That’s equally stupid though… why shouldn’t I be able to tamper with my phone’s operating system? And how is it any of a website’s business if I do?

Greater income disparity than pre-revolution France. Pushing of gig culture and baiting people into financial ruin with short term incentives. And all people want to do is call each other fascist and nazi and white supremacist and bicker. Can’t you see it’s a distraction that’s keeping you there? Nah, probably not.
