That XKCD is almost 18 years old and is still as relevant.
136Only got more relevant over time unfortunately.

If it's not a part of capitalism, they don't think it matters. If doesn't directly make them a profit, it shouldn't be done. Housework isn't labor. Activism isn't labor. Love only helps them sell products. They want people to have kids so they have more young workers, but letting people become financially secure enough to have them would hurt their profits.
They want robots to replace manual labor and AI to replace mental labor so they don't have to deal with us. They want productivity without paying for labor, because earning money without doing labor isn't enough apparently. It is morally correct to take their money because they only got it by underpaying us for our work. Every day we don't take it from them, they're taking it from us.
111also, every day we only take a little.
and they're taking more than our money. they're literally burning our futures for their bullshit.
find their bunkers, sabotage everything you can.
or their houses, and be a little more sensible about it.

I'll never get how these 'people' think it's a good idea to control culture like this. You fuckers hurt too! You won't magically get real music or art if you make it impossible to make it
29pH honey they don't understand art or culture or anything after this fiscal quarter. its all just widgets to them.
14They'll happily sit on the existing art and endlessly regurgitate it

I love when an artist that I've thought of as not having strong opinions (or not wanting to share) shares strong opinions, it reminds me that they are people /srs
note
this can of course go the wrong way when those opinions are concerning but lemmy seems to think this is not one of those cases
actually I think I just like being surprised by people but I already wrote the comment and sunk cost fallacy
22Randall Monroe helped radicalize me as a teenager and I didn’t even realize it was radical. Like of course information wants to be free! And of course techno feminism makes sense. And of course dvorak is the superior keyboard layout.
Also his cancer comics were at one point the most stabilizing part of a particularly unstable part of my young life.

IP is bullshit that hurts workers.
13I have 55TB of pirated content that says otherwise.
13this is cool and all, but curious as to why this is formatted for phones, you could've just cut out like 50% of the height and it would be fine.
8I believe it was formatted for a book
