Cofounder. Yes it would be wonderful to see him lose it all. It won't happen, but it is fun to think about.
I see your point, but honestly unless you highly curate your experience it is pretty obvious most of Lemmy is negative. I am just fine with it myself and I see it as a reflection without judgement.
Why ask the question about a hypothetical future or even currently when we have been living in a dystopian surveillance society for decades now.
Snowden is already a long time ago and he just exposed what so many people, including myself, knew has been happening. The consequences are already here. The ubitquos nature of surveillance passed this tipping point decades ago as well. Just the other day I heard my coworkers talking about their TVs always listening. I was like your cell phones have been doing this for ten years now, are you kidding me!?
Consequences:
Loss of privacy
Control of opposition for whoever is in charge of the apparatus
Control of societal narrative or zeitgeist
Manipulation of all monetary systems
What is unpopular about this opinion?
One of the quoted sources reveals a very different interpretation.
My father was raped by a male acquaintance as a young man. He was a state champion wrestler and it really messed with his head. He never told me this, which is normal, but I did find out about it. Most rapes are done by other men and it is way more common than men admit to.
He was innocent of the crime they accused him of at the time, but he was a fraudster.
So he should be fired and lose all his shares and be left penniless... Right!?
Thank God, this is just a fraction of what he did.
There never was anything original. All of culture, invention, science, and art is iterative and would not exist without copying in the first place.
Lefty people don't accept liberals as part of them as evidence here on Lemmy.
Liberals are only leftists to Conservatives who like to ignore that they are liberal as well.
