I don’t mind being governed. I mind being governed by shareholders. Regulation isn’t oppression. Exploitation is.
I agree that things would be better without shareholders, but wouldn’t government corruption still be a problem? For example, shareholders aren’t profiting from mass deportation or tariffs. These sort of abuses would still happen without shareholders because they aren’t motivated by profit, they’re motivated by racism and nationalism. The way I see it, we need to get rid of all coercive hierarchies, government included.
Government doesn’t have to be a hierarchy. Direct democracy would have been impossible in the past, but is very much doable in this day and age. But otherwise yeah, I agree.
Direct democracy would be less hierarchical than what we have currently, but it’s still a hierarchy of the majority over the minority. So long as government exists, the decisions of the majority will be violently enforced upon the minority.
Unless of course you’re referring to direct democracy without law enforcement, but I wouldn’t exactly call that a government.
Weighted voting based on how much said proposition affects you personally? Idk man why does perfect always have to be the enemy of a hell of a lot better than we have now?
Good news! You’re about to learn about for-profit prisons and how racism is very profitable for shareholders, especially in how it suppresses wages and keeps poor people fighting other poor people instead of forming unions…
Maybe not right now tho. I’m done poo… Uhm I’m about to do something other than googling “prison industrial complex” and “how racism effects unionizing”

You cool with Colorado’s proposed OS level age verification?

Maybe you should reread what I wrote.
You don’t think that regulation won’t be exploited? It’s how the safety and environmental regulations drove all car manufacturing into 3 companies here in the USA. Bigger companies pushed for the regulations because they could withstand the change to force their competition out of the market.
One OS monopoly in my lifetime was already bad enough, I’ll pass on having another.
That again sounds like exploitation rather than regulation. That is exactly what I’m referring to when I say governed by shareholders.
Doesn’t change the fact that exploitation is being done by the hand of regulation.
This story popped up in my feed: https://lemmy.world/post/43568135
My guy. Again this is literally exactly what I’m talking about.
And I’m telling you that this is done via regulation and not just naturally and isolated by corporations alone. Regulation is exploitation in practice.

Better if it didn’t have a huge blade and an angry malevolent facial expression.
Y’know, maybe something that speaks more to the likes of mutual aid, rather than to agent-provocateurism.
