when billionaires control social media they have a large degree of control over the content posted on social media, and guess what happens when they decide they don't like the content?

if 90% of our day-to-day media input is coming from a couple social media platforms owned by a couple of rich fuckers, a couple of rich fuckers have control over 90% of what we consume. but yeah no, tech billionaires are totally cool and ethical and have no bearing on our lives

also it's so annoying when people put these fuckers on a pedestal like "omg he worked so hard to become a billionaire!!!! i wanna grind so I can be that rich!!!" when I can almost guarantee they sit on a throne of either generational wealth, worker exploitation, or just having a weirdly inflated valuation of their net worth

#my dad is always comparing himself to billionaires #like you worked very hard and insanely improved your quality of living #jeff bezos locks people in warehouses for 12 hours a day and calls giving them energy drinks csr #if you gave up your morals and were born significantly richer I'm sure you'd have a swell time !

i have no memory recall and therefore am dogshit at debates and arguments bc i simply do not remember what my points are. in the interest of not feeling like an idiot forever I'm compiling a list of fun little sources to aid me whenever I feel like picking a fight (externally rare, internally constant)

#wanna get better at accounting for my flaws instead of shitting on them #this is that #also it feels deeply satisfying to have the option of #whenever someone asks “yeah I'd love to see a source on that”#just being able to whip out my 12038 page google doc and be like “gLAD YOU ASKED”

#this post is brought to you by this reel i just saw of a woman arguing that billionaires are unethical #only to be met by the most braindead non-argument arguments #shoutout to tilly I'll watch the full video when it's not almost 1am

my friends and I make a lot of jokes about being gold diggers and marrying men for the money, but the idea of legitimately being financially dependant on a man for the rest of my life is genuinely my worst nightmare

#like I'm so privileged to have access to higher education and have parents who encourage me to work #instead of marrying me off to the highest bidder #and the idea of throwing that away and being a housewife whose peaceful existence hinges on upon the whims and fancies of some Man #just to avoid entering the workforce is not something I can stomach #(no shade to housewives! my mother works very hard #and it's because of how hard she works at her relatively thankless job that I don't want to be locked into that)#“oh yeah I'll only marry a rich guy” is my cop-out answer when people ask me about romance #bc i can't exactly go “while I love the idea of love I cannot see myself in a committed long term relationship #bc i do not think I am capable of romantic love and also am terrified of relationships and all the ways they can go wrong“#or at least that's not a socially acceptable answer lmao #anyway I'm gonna be single forever* (*terms and conditions apply)#and economy permitting i will be financially independent #(fingers crossed)

in the pursuit of "productivity" and "getting shit done" i have completely lost the spark i had in most of my hobbies and barely spend any time genuinely just thinking about interesting stuff (because I'm too busy shitting on myself for not being good enough, which is obviously a great use of my time and braincells). this, clearly, sucks balls and is completely counterproductive to living a halfway interesting and fulfilling life so time to slow down and let myself be "unproductive" (enjoy myself and engage in hobbies and thought experiments and do nothing in particular)

also i'm utterly dogshit at communicating my thoughts coherently and also constantly afraid that i will express an opinion and be told it's wrong, actually, so i'm making a fun little blog to a) give myself an outlet to say shit without any expectations or fear of judgement, b) prove to myself that i am capable of having coherent thoughts, and c) be able to slow down and have a low-stakes, reasonably low-effort side hobby that encourages me to think about literally anything but self-sabotaging bs

anyway if you're reading this, i don't really know why, this is entirely self-indulgent bullshittery and you definitely have better things to be doing, but enjoy my ramblings lmao

#my memory is so totally dogshit that even if I do have an interesting opinion on smth the moment it comes up in conversation i'll simply.#forget.#also i don't think i believe I have anything interesting to say but simultaneously crave for someone to listen to my rambling #so. that's a fun little contradiction #anyway this is entirely self indulgent and I'll probably abandon it by tomorrow but it's fineeeee it's okkkkkk #why am I afraid of posting shit even when it's anonymous make it make sense #(i mean afraid isn't the right word to use but I'm digressing from my digression so whatever)
