What good would it do since no one will stop them?
What good would telling the truth do? Really?
Yes. When—recently—have you seen “telling the truth” actually make a change? I dunno what year you think it is, but no one is doing anything about anything these days. Companies just do whatever they want, totally unchecked.
You really operate under the bizarre idea that there's no point in informing people, so you might as well lie to them?
That’s a purposefully ignorant take. When was the last time you did anything about anything?
If that is not what you meant, what did you mean?
Yelling about the media is like yelling at clouds. What the media says or does not say has very little impact on what people will or will not do in the long run. So the media calls it price gouging, now what? Literally nothing. A few people get mad, but they were probably mad any way. They’ll blame whomever is president or whomever was president, and then go back to where they were before.
The media needs to say what people should do, but at this point the only thing left to do is illegal to say. Corporate America isn’t afraid of “protests” and “awareness” because they’re making shit tons of money.
Still sounds like you're saying people should be lied to because it doesn't matter.
Im saying stop complaining about the media because it’s trivial and naive.
As trivial as complaining about people complaining about the media? Or is that okay?
I forgot, you’re always right. My mistake. Just go on thinking awareness is a solution, it’s obviously all you’ve got in you.
I’m super excited to hear your solution to the upcoming concentration camps. Probably awareness again. Hope that works out for you.
I guess it's okay to complain anything when you do it. Just not when other people do it. Interesting.
Says the guy who bans people whenever he disagrees with what they have to say.
Please explain why complaining about being banned on Lemmy is not trivial and naive.
I’m calling you part of the problem.
Yes, I'm aware you're naviely complaining about something trivial. But it's apparently okay when you do it.
Oh boy. You’re always right, even when you’re wrong.
So I'm wrong about this being trivial?
Exactly how significant do you think I am? You clearly think I'm infinitely more important than I do since I think the world would be better without me in it.
Outside of your behavior on lemmy, I have no idea how insignificant you are. But you seem to be very much in favor of “the system,” and you’re willing to shut anyone down who says otherwise.
Therefore, I’m inclined to side with you. Is there a date I can put in my calendar? I’ll buy some champagne.
Four years if all goes according to plan. Would you like to send me your email contact information so I can give you an exact date when we have it figured out? I'll be happy to.
