Comment on I cant stand how dumb people are

People will work to resolve their issues with tech if they ever have them. You know things they don’t because at some point you wanted/needed to, but they don’t. They don’t care and have no reason to.

They should care because it controls every aspect of their life and their future, their job, their housing, whether police break in and murder them, etc. Being ignorant about it is very stupid when its so easy to learn.
The reason big tech controls the world and all governments is because people let them. Because they again have no idea the implication of the tech they use.
Its not having their needs unmet, that makes zero sense. They literally cannot survive without tiktok? Thats pathetic. They will keel over if they change messenger apps or navigation apps that dont support fascists?

They should, sure. But you’re going to waste your time and theirs and probably annoy the heck out of them. These services are popular for a reason. Switching from them is going to cost time, money, or quality of service in some way. If they don’t care, they’re not going to sacrifice any of these to gain nothing in their eyes.

Yep, hence my frustrations. Still gonna try anyway. I have convinced a small number to change and they are so much happier.
