    where you don’t have to face the consequences for doing something.

    Face consequences for what, exactly? Not regurgitating white supremacist pro-Israeli propaganda on lemmy? Exactly what consequences will they face?

    Governments are no longer accountable to the people

    They never were, and it has never been a valid excuse for toeing the party line. That’s what the entire “complexity” schtick is all about - it’s just another fig leaf to hide behind and you know it.

      I assumed you wanted things to improve instead of a narrower focus on only not making things actively worse. Actual improvement requires action and risk. I have no opinion on it if you just mean Lemmy talk.

        Oh, I don’t know… Phony Stark took a $44B hit because of the way all this internet talk is threatening the status quo that keeps him rich, and the hasbara shill farms have decided lemmy is a good place to invest their energy in. It’s the whole reason the alt-right launched their little “culture war,” after all.

        I’d say all this lemmy talk might mean a whole lot more than you assume it does.
