With Meta, Google, Amazon, and Apple on board the fascist train I don't think the people will see. The revolution will not be televised because algorithms will filter it from our news feeds.

That's why the Fediverse is so important but even if it succeeds and people can communicate freely we need to then worry about AI generated propaganda flooding and poisoning the well. Whether that be text, images, or videos

I'm not optimistic, but, there's still a glimmer of hope deep down inside somewhere

Oh legalese! The language used to explicitly state what people can and cannot do, specifically stating they can do what they want? Oh that's okay then. If it were in plain English I would be worried.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_ignition_switch_recalls

The General Motors ignition switch recalls refers to February 6, 2014 when General Motors recalled about 800,000 of its small cars due to faulty ignition switches, which could shut off the engine while the vehicle was in motion and thereby prevent the airbags from inflating.[1] The company continued to recall more of its cars over the next several months, resulting in nearly 30 million cars recalled worldwide[2] and paid compensation for 124 deaths.[3] The fault had been known to GM for at least a decade prior to the recall being declared.[4] As part of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, GM agreed to forfeit $900 million to the United States.[5]

Hoarding living accommodation for the purpose of profit.

Landlording for an office or shop could perhaps be justified to be for-profit but housing is a human requirement and hoarding it for-profit is unethical. All landlords are bastards, unless by some unlikely chance they're running their business as a nonprofit.

The modern worker isn't really living.

We just follow our routines which are forced upon us to afford to survive. We're all sheep in a herd, alive but dead inside. Existing without truly living.

As long as everything in life relies upon money, we'll be stuck in this boring dystopia forever.
