You got to vote and be active in politics and encourage as many people to do likewise. If more people did that the sum of our power would be far greater than the power of billionaires. We can then have reforms like regulating campaign contributions and lobbying and passing more regulations that protect the people.
For some countries there are things working against us. For example in the US billionaires have a lot of power and contribute heavily to politics in part due to the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC which opened the floodgates for unlimited political spending and has really harmed our country. My solution to this is to encourage people to boycott companies that donate heavily to Republicans and most importantly encourage people to vote for people who will help stop all the corruption.
Bill Gates was ruthless during the 90s. Just as a random example he tried to make ACPI only work with Windows saying “It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work” just as a random example.
Maybe he's making up for it now but still it's more complex than him just always being a good person.
Right, I better not tell him about chat control.
You're 100% right about this! I literally made my username BoycottTwitter so that whenever I post it hopefully reminds people that we still have a lot of work to do to get people to leave that nazi-bar "platform".
I've got a few of my friends to leave Twitter and sign up for Bluesky, I hope everyone can consider contacting organizations/entities and people that are still on Twitter and urge them to switch.
So how is making America healthy again going?
We're all in this together in a way, what becomes normalized in one country risks coming for you one day. Do you notice how other countries have Trump copycats? In fact Trump has learned a lot from Hungary. So when something bad happens in one country we must stand against it no matter where we are because sooner or later if we don't it will come for us.
Thank you so much for clarifying! Yes, now I understand it's a powerful thought like they can't stop me because I live in Sweden, I will keep protesting.
It reminds me of how many countries boycotted South Africa which helped end apartheid.
