    And look at the money.

    The reasoning for this is to eventually lock the internet down completely to put up fences and paywalls everywhere to every single site so that even if you pay for the privilege of using the internet, you will have to pay more money to actually use the internet.

    It is all about controlling you and taking every single penny they possibly can out of your pocket.

    All of the tracking, all of the identity verification, all of the invasive watching every single thing you do on your computer and your phone, everywhere, all of the time always, is all about milking you for every single penny they can.

    Even though they are insanely rich, beyond the imagination of any human being that has ever lived in the hundreds of thousands of years of humanity’s existence on this planet they still don’t have enough money and they will still never be satisfied with how much money they have.

    The fact that there are free websites where people can congregate and communicate and have fun with each other without paying them for the privilege galls them.

    It grinds their heart and soul the way watching a dog get shot in the head at the end of old yeller does to a normal person.

    These people are evil, and we need to stop them.

    When it comes down to it, we may have to rise up and slay them.

        I’m not saying that we should start getting pitchforks or anything right now. I’m just saying that like, they need to know that that is an option and that if they keep pushing us, they’re gonna start painting targets on their own back.

        I mean, that’s two billionaires down in a year, and they’re still ramping things up. Next year, it’ll be four. The year after that, it’ll be eight. And in like 15 years, we won’t have any billionaires left unless they fucking straighten up an act right.

        Sometimes they will act if they fear for their moneys.

        With that said it bothers me that they will always look to strike a deal with the more pacifist/less disruptive parts of a movement in order to neutralise the threat.

        Which in theory means it’s useless to actually aim for a reasonable goal but rather you need to overshoot by a fair bit in order for the deal to land anywhere near what you believe is decent.

        BUT when you overshoot you come across as disillusioned and a lot of people will distance from you, making any movement impossible.
