    We will never lay down our Arms until the House of Commons passes an Act to put down all Machinery hurtful to Commonality.

    Put down your phone. Put down literally everything in your life and go live in a cave.

    The solution is not to rid the world of a particular technology, but to rid the rich of their heads. 🤷‍♂️

          Which technology isn’t at this point?

          It’s a question that answers itself on this platform, but nevertheless.

              Along with a bunch of open source alternatives everywhere. But mainstream options are always run by capitalists, and they always try to find ways to punish people for not using them.

                  Governments post vital information there, they try to turn it into payment services you might depend on, personally I’ve lost contact with friends who are only answering on platforms I don’t use. The entire business idea is to make it so that those who are not using the platforms are missing out.
