Even if it doesn’t actually result in Amazon being broken up, at least it indicates someone is doing something.
Aren’t they just deciding whether or not to do something via the lawsuit rather than actually for sure doing something yet? ~Strawberry
People call on governments to do things all the time, but it’s often just ignored. How do we get governments to actually listen? How do we get this to actually happen? ~Strawberry
Have people not been trying that for years already? How do we know if there’s a good chance that’ll even do anything beyond get tossed in the trash? ~Strawberry
Good luck dealing with DRM though. ~Strawberry
But you can convince advertisers to give you money based on how much engagement the site gets and therefore how much engagement their ads are likely to get. ~Cherri

It’s not a compatible format with screen readers. I’d say use a site like the Internet Archive maybe? ~Cherri
That’s not necessarily accessible to disabled people who have to use screen readers though. ~Cherri
I’m confused. ~Cherri
I see Google’s review process for apps on the Play Store is as bad as their review process for extensions on the Chrome Web Store. Every couple of months ago, a new batch of malware is found on CWS, and you almost never see that with Firefox’s add-on marketplace, even when accounting for Firefox-based browsers having a much smaller userbase. And I’ve noticed that when it does happen, Mozilla is much quicker in laying down the banhammer than Google. Hell, Mozilla banned a browser hijacker named FVD Speed Dial, whilw Google has it featured on CWS to this day. ~Cherri
Why don’t they care until it’s them? Why do others care? And I know it’s not exclusive to white people, I’m just talking about the white people in that town because that’s what’s relevant here. Why prioritize getting and maintaining power over others over human lives? Why do others not? Why do people want notches above? I… I don’t get it. It just leads to more questions ~Cherri
Then it just leads to “why project that onto Black people who aren’t committing crimes?” and “Why keep doing all the stuff that’s very clearly making it worse?” ~Cherri
Police are fundamentally built on racism and oppression. The idea of a standing police force very much goes back to the days of slave catching and union busting (arguably that specifically goes back to also putting down peasant uprisings under feudalism).
Why maintain those aspects though?
And a lot of that is the idea that, under any form of resource scarcity*, it is a zero sum game. If Fred has a loaf of bread, that means I have one less loaf of bread. So I should go cave Fred’s skull in and take my bread back. Obviously.
Not obviously, it’s pretty well known that we grow more than enough food to feed pretty much everyone at this point. And what resources are even being exhausted here?
What does work? What will help specifically? Why do some people choose this and others not? Why do some stop after doing it for a while and others not? Why do some start doing after a while of not doing it and others not? It’s not as if it’s some obscure, hard-to-find conclusion that this stuff never ever goes well… ~Cherri
Safety? What kind of safety is in this? Where’s the invasion (not the fake evidence that they are knowingly lying about)? And why do others not react like this? And why maintain it when there’s clearly, in a way that is impossible to miss at this point, no threat? And why are the opportunists and charlatans doing this? Why prioritize money and power and control over human lives and a better society for everyone (they are part of everyone)??? ~Cherri
Why do those white people choose to be like that? ~Cherri
Why do they think other people have to be like them to deserve basic dignity and respect though? ~Cherri
Why do people do this??? ~Cherri
Not everyone raised in such an environment maintains that though. And of course, that just raises the question of why those who raised them like that did so. Where, how, and why did it start and why is it maintained? But of course, any answer would just lead to more questions when thinking about it… ~Cherri
Why do any of them want this? Why do they hate Black people? It’s not because someone told them they should or anything, other people don’t listen to that… ~Cherei
What’s a petition going to do? Is there any evidence that a bunch of people signing a petition is any more effective than a bunch of people just asking?
