The idea that Hitler was some sort of genius supervillain is a myth mostly propagated by movies and video games. It’s a shame, because I think this notion made it more difficult for many people to understand what trump was as he was clawing at power.
I’ve been in software design and development for decades. Sorry, but you are wrong.
The reason these companies are so profitable is because they sell your data.
Whales are fine, but that’s not their only revenue stream. People freely give up their data to them and that’s stupidly valuable. If you think these companies aren’t selling it, you’re very naive.
And to be clear, you’re saying this in response to an article pointing out they’ve been selling your data.
A good pair of shoes costs more, but your feet are worth it. And cobblers are still a thing.Buy good shoes and have them repaired. This costs much less than buying cheap shoes every few years.
Same with tailoring. Buy a nice coat and have it fixed rather than buying a new coat. Slightly higher outlay up front, but it lasts far longer and is far cheaper than having to buy a new one when your shitty coat wears out in a few years.
Most people have never experienced the difference with quality goods. They seem more expensive, but are actually less expensive in the long run.
Buy nice things then use cobblers and tailors to prevent rebuying later.
Obviously they won’t sanction your protests. Like that should matter. If Nazis say they don’t want opposition, are you just going to say okay, we won’t protest without a permit?
Definitely don’t try to debate such a person. You’ll quickly find you’re the muddy pig and the only thing that’s moved is time.
