- everdrivePretty sure a lot of people would need a fainting couch if they learned that they might need to avoid restaurants that only have QR-code menus. We seem to have an incredibly-infantilized stock of people these days, which is why I don't know that awareness will really help much.
- newsomix9xlAwareness is not sufficient to overcome a well financed organized business enterprise.So, I disagree.
- two-sandwichI am intrigued by the header, and it seems like this has some good points. However, I'm struggling to parse this content. There's a full image in between almost every sentence. In most cases, I don't find the image adds significantly to the point of the preceding or following sentence, so it just looks like filler for colour.I could put this into an AI but then what's the point of the article in the first place?
- agnishomAwareness is the first step, but very far from the final one. (I am sure the author knows this, but worth reiterating.)Surveillance Capitalism is fueled by large institutions with vast depths of wealth and implemented by world-class supercomputers and algorithms. Fighting surveillance capitalism by individual action is like fighting climate change by drinking through paper straws and bringing totebags to the supermarket.
- superxpro12"neither party is willing to stop it"??? Oh please eff all the way off with this "both sides" crap.... one party is POWERLESS to stop it, the party in power is willingly complicit in the shift towards fascism. There's a MASSIVE difference. Implying the Democrats are somehow willingly allowing this is almost propagandist.
- PawenniagI think the argument would be more persuasive if it stayed closer to things people can verify themselves
- ale42It's interesting, but it sounds more like a political/societal theory rather than actual events or state of the society. It would be much more interesting and largely shareable if it contained more documented facts rather than generic affirmations.
