Let's recap on a tiny slice of what tech companies and social media websites have done to humanity just within the last decade:
- hoard wealth from all over the globe, rarely if ever contribute a cent back to local communities
- hoard wealth from our physical realm into the digital realm, even as our physical world crumbles around us
- everyone is a user whether you want to be or not, everyone is constantly impacted
- moronic business practices which require constant creation of new humans to sustain
- scientifically makes us more depressed, more impatient, more sleep deprived, among a host of other maladies, EVEN if you are not a user
- creates mass exploitation all over the world, particularly in the so-called “third-world”
- creates environmental degradation and pollution offshoring
- amplifies all forms of inequalities: the “rich” gets “richer” and the “poor” gets “poorer”
- creates highly suffocated higher-education system where every student is a drone trained specifically for whatever their tech overlord wishes for
- pretends to be paragons of morality with all sorts of feel good slogans such as “diversity ad inclusion”, but works closely with the military to bomb other countries
Fast forward to present day, now everywhere I see,
“Wahhh, I'm an Ex-Meta, Ex-Amazon, Ex-Google software engineer who just got laid off, will you hire me so I can continue to contribute to one of the above destructive agenda???????”
and then there's all these NPCs on this sub offering sympathies to the people who literally created this hellhole for the rest of us.
They made your life worse for personal gain.
