maybe a dissociative fugue? don‘t know if they can last that long though

jesus christ ofc i didn‘t read the paper, i was just making a joke ffs

clearly they have never heard of harry g frankfurts (excellent) „on bullshit“

ah sweet, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension

also true for any other nation, one needs only to look at the role of police in suppressing dissent (see for eg the current police response to anti-israel protests in germany)

I partly agree but I do think you have cause and effect (or disease and symptom if you will) swapped around. You‘re saying people don‘t do boycotts because they are futile. I would say it‘s the other way around and to answer OPs question, I think it largely comes down to commodity and mindlessness. But either way I think you are definitely right to suggest there must be systemic change and that all of this co2 compensation bullshit is just corporations guilt-tripping us into thinking we can consume our way out of this mess. However, the problem is that both approaches, the personal boycotts and the systemic change share a common factor, which is the requirement of mass action. If people aren‘t mindful enough to stop buying a particular kind of yoghurt, how are you ever going to get them to vote, much less stage a revolution? I think we need to get out of our passivity and boycotting things is a step in the right direction to establish a feel for personal agency.

more than 100 years on, it‘s still working as intended

I agree that she‘s displaying a lot of self-awareness here and I‘d like to point out that this doesn‘t make her comparison any less warranted

what is even your point op?

what are some other studios to keep an eye on?

do you have a source for this? because obviously it‘s utter bullshit, just looking at the recent tax cuts for german gas stations which were decidedly NOT „passed onto the consumer“

I largely agree, except that a few months back tidal changed the way they compensate artists so now it‘s exactly the same crap as the others. bandcamp is the way if you want to support artists.
