If Americans would just socialize in real life and stop using these companies, then they wouldn't get ad revenue and they would go away. I block all fucking ads. I have contingencies. I VPN all the fucking time. I lie about my telemetry. I have a recursive DNS server. I mean I do everything I can. The internet has become walled gardens and hostile towards working people. It is a front in the class war. Some people are just late to show up to the party. I use my Boomer mother who's too stubborn to adopt my methods and also probably doesn't have the cognitive abilities as my control group. Being a pessimist and not trying is you locking yourself up in your own chains. My mom's phone rings off the hook daily. While mine rings about once a week. we use the same phone. Two phones, same model phone. I do not use Facebook because I'm not a beta cuck or any of these things. I do not use Twitter. I do not use Reddit. I do not use GitHub. I don't use any of these fucking things. If I had a job that required these services, I would create a computer that was just for work, and I would take the battery out of it when I got home. I would never connect it to my own internet. You pay for something and then they milk you. Now tell me how does that make sense? The problem with America is a nation of uber-cucks. This is war! At the end of the day, if it gets worse than this, I am willing to smash every computer I have. But I don't need to do that, because I don't have Windows Management System. I don't use Mac. core boot baby. If you want a future worth living for, then try harder. The last thing you want to do is bring work home. I will return to the office and I would hope the workers that I worked with wanted to have a union. I don't shit where I eat.
