Stockholm syndrome is a real thing

it’s digital debt disguised as convenience.

We need Congress to step in on BOTH fronts — software and cars — because corporations won’t stop until every part of life is a subscription they control.

If we don’t get laws to stop this, we’re heading toward a world where:
• Your software doesn’t work unless your bill is paid
• Your car features don’t work unless your bill is paid
• Your appliances don’t work unless your bill is paid
• Nothing you buy actually belongs to you

car companies said: “Wait, we can do that too.”

Now your car is becoming the same thing as your apps:
A subscription bundle with wheels.

Heated seats as a service.
Acceleration as a service.
Safety features as a service.
Navigation as a service.

You don’t own your tools anymore, you rent them

Moment software companies realized they could charge you forever for a product they already built,

without a subscription.

This isn’t innovation, it’s extraction.

We’ve become walking ATM machines feeding corporations monthly just to function in modern life.

everything becomes frictionless; democracy becomes collateral damage.

Democracy is a participation sport

We got lazy and became easily distracted on purpose.

Time to put the phone down, log out of the billionaire apps, and re-engage.

Because the government is ours, if we choose to take it back.

walking or taking public transportation is now “inconvenient.”

Every step of life routed through an app owned by someone richer than God.

And now Ford, FORD, is selling used cars through Amazon

Companies don’t want customers. They want ownership of your daily existence.

Community suffers because

We need to make an effort to get back on the field and take back what we gave up for sake of “convenience”

This isn’t laziness. It’s design

The more frictionless everything becomes, the more disconnected we get from each other, our communities, and our democracy, while billionaires quietly consolidate the entire civic space between us

Democracy is a participation sport
But we’ve been benched on purpose

We Uber to the gym, work, bars. Order meals through Uber Eats.

Every part of life is now routed through an app owned by someone richer than God.

And now Ford is selling used cars through Amazon.
They don’t just want our business, they want to own every step of our lives.

So, Americans got “complacent,” but let’s be honest, disengagement didn’t happen by accident.

We handed our daily lives to billionaires who turned convenience into control.

We scroll TikTok and Insta brain-rot, we one-click Amazon everything, we pay at hospitals and supermarkets with a palm scan.

Brown man (probably a child of immigrants) walking around American cities terrorizing Black and Brown neighborhoods and immigrants.

Fuck him. He can rot.

Sadly, it is the same London, ‘harpies’ on scooters.
