I don't mind being governed. I mind being governed by shareholders. Regulation isn't oppression. Exploitation is.
I agree that things would be better without shareholders, but wouldn't government corruption still be a problem? For example, shareholders aren't profiting from mass deportation or tariffs. These sort of abuses would still happen without shareholders because they aren't motivated by profit, they're motivated by racism and nationalism. The way I see it, we need to get rid of all coercive hierarchies, government included.
Good news! You're about to learn about for-profit prisons and how racism is very profitable for shareholders, especially in how it suppresses wages and keeps poor people fighting other poor people instead of forming unions...
Maybe not right now tho. I'm done poo.... Uhm I'm about to do something other than googling "prison industrial complex" and "how racism effects unionizing"
Government doesn't have to be a hierarchy. Direct democracy would have been impossible in the past, but is very much doable in this day and age. But otherwise yeah, I agree.
Direct democracy would be less hierarchical than what we have currently, but it's still a hierarchy of the majority over the minority. So long as government exists, the decisions of the majority will be violently enforced upon the minority.
Unless of course you're referring to direct democracy without law enforcement, but I wouldn't exactly call that a government.
Weighted voting based on how much said proposition affects you personally? Idk man why does perfect always have to be the enemy of a hell of a lot better than we have now?
You cool with Colorado's proposed OS level age verification?

but... the image...
Better if it didn't have a huge blade and an angry malevolent facial expression.
Y'know, maybe something that speaks more to the likes of mutual aid, rather than to agent-provocateurism.

^* ^Made ^in ^China
Everything is made in China, especially the things that made in the US.
It’s also funny to think that China is making products that are illegal in China.
Fine. But companies shouldn't try to deceive customers with a bullshit "Designed in the US"
Designed is different from made.
Absolutely, but the goal of putting that on the package is to make it seem like it is a local product while it is in fact not made here.
still throws money
This is why they say, "never turn your back on a penguin".
This is begging for a distro...

The Linux Hacker.
He should really be using a machete with a fully molded handle. And a forged blade rather than that stamped nonsense.
How can you tell the blade is stamped rather than forged from an embroidery?
Can I get this on a t-shirt?
Have wondered if I should learn to make badges for stuff like this
