Problem is years of being lied to is hard to break free from and frankly painful and if you don't have the emotional and/or intellectual capacity to break through all the decades of bullying/lies and psychological manipulation that the system creates Trump like figures are 'truth'. Nothing will make them lose faith.
Shit, FOSS is being decimated by 'open source'. So what these wankers have done is fairly inconsequential. Corporate capture is the real problems shit I'm still devastated that people that didn't leave github sigh starting to rant...
Don't feel pity and try not to waste any empathy but unless we understand the reasons we'll keep going down what is now a very dark road but I think the 'covid' crisis tells us that the 1% are not going to cede anything and yeah imagine if we tackled the climate crisis with the same level of propaganda being used in relation to covid, the world would be a much better place.. Don't know why we can't start calling them health/death profiteers and get it too stick, so fucking dystopian but hey it's easier to just go with the flow till it's too late..
