the reason I became a “Consumerism is a Religion” nut is because I saw too many dumb posts that tried to make their customer service complaints sound like Politics

it’s the phones. sorry. i know that’s frustrating. i know it feels like saying it’s all about climate change. it feels like saying it’s all about a massive collective action problem where even reformers are complicit in the behaviors they’re trying to annihilate or constrain. but it’s the phones.

The challenge is that many different issues are packed together, and people pick the ones they want to object to. The economics of data centers could be unsustainable, content generated could be shoddy, IP issues could be untenable, etc. *and* the project to displace workers could still succeed.

Here is how it works. The consumer takes the place of the worker in traditional populism, i.e the consumer is the virtuous downtrodden common man whose labors are truly essential unlike the degenerate [insert thing here]
It's tempting to see this just as an excuse to avoid paying extra money but this is actually at the core of how most consumer backlash movements in America work. It is, in its own way, an actually held belief

Absolutely terrific post by @lukefarrell.bsky.social . It’s shocking, wasteful, and pernicious how much our government relies on private contractors to perform the state function of administering public services. Great proposals here.

As Republicans tightened work requirements and eligibility rules for Medicaid and SNAP last year, Equifax’s CEO openly celebrated the profits to be made from administering this deprivation.

"Create your own reality" is entirely negative. It can stop or derail people doing things in the real world, or bamboozle people into destroying things. It makes building a better world impossible. Great for wannabe apparatchiks who want to be paid by power to play with memes.

Judge says Virginia violated Reconstruction Era law by disenfranchising certain felons
The ruling, which held Virginia violated the terms of 1870's Virginia Readmission Act, could be a road map for other southern states that block certain felons from voting.

The main reason is psychology. Due to personal, family, and cultural histories, some people are inherently scared of the world.
