  You’re right. Everythings fucked, why try at all lets just roll over and take it.

    Yeah because I said that didn’t I.

    Jesus Christ doing pointless stuff is pointless. I’m overtaking action that is effective but petitions on the government website have literally never achieved anything in the entire history of the system existing.

      So what would you do instead?

        Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently

  You’re right, but all I see is condescension and complaints with no solutions.

  What have you done to improve the world lately?

    Banging your head against the wall is not a solution if banging your head against the wall has no possible hope of having an effect.

      Your body is an engine that turns useful words into grating screeches.

        Yeah whereas you’re doing loads

  And your suggestion is what exactly?

  • rikudou@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Turn back time and don’t leave the union that actually does pro-consumer things?

    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Realistically that is actually the only option.

      Turning back time but just hoping that the EU implements something. Then we all get to benefit from the Brussels effect. There really isn’t anything that we can do.

      The best we can hope for is we can vote for whoever is necessary in your constituency to get the Tories out, and hope that Labour care, but they probably won’t.

  Even if it has only 1% chance of working, I’m willing to spend 20 seconds putting my name and postcode on a website. I won’t die from typing 20 characters on a keyboard
