      The people who can invest the most in tech are the ones who have exploited the working class so it’s not terribly surprising that tech is used to reinforce whatever the wealthy want instead of the greater populations. Time for more boycotts and protests. There’s a lot for us to take back from them.

        Sadly, this will end in blood. I guess history always does. We have white washed a lot of it and don’t teach the parts where people did walkouts, and sit-ins, etc. The next part is usually that those people were arrested, and often times beaten, and sometimes much worse.
