dismissing our warnings as some nerd turf wars for decades aint helping anyone either.

no amount of talking to normies will fix this because you would rather listen to the corporations. and this precedes any form of action.

What exactly do you propose the "normies" do? Is there some non-corporation making road-worthy cars? No? Let me guess, you want a family of 5 to bike 2 hours to the nearest school/park/grocery store in the snow on rural roads with no shoulder just to avoid paying a corporation? Take the nonexistent train?

who suggested bikes?

let me just say this: if facebook were known to be doing the shit it does today in 2002, it wouldnt have fucking flied, because normies trusted people more than they did corporations. throw away the notion we are powerless against corporations.

no need to make up that huge strawman when you could have properly read what i bothered to type out.
