For literally everyone.
Education is not the problem. Everyone knows, they just don't care. What is needed is influence and courage. He has the former.
That's exactly the problem that he's contributing to. We have these problems because we vote for fucking horrendous politicians that are promoted and funded by Big Tech billionaires. This isn't a secret. They were all photographed sitting at Trump's inauguration, and all "donated" to and bribed him. These are all the people that Mamdani purports to oppose, but he's actually actively supporting them when streaming on Bozos TV.
We already know he is not. That is not the conversation I am having.
Why are we talking about making laws? No one is asking him to make laws.
There are many problems not caused by big tech.
Disagree. My mom doesn't. Terminally online people do.
Mamdani isn't contributing to an issue by using Twitch. You fail to understand that there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Not saying don't boycott, but you are up against forces bigger than Mamdani and your issues are not a single individual, yet you project them onto individuals. A tell-tale sign of a young person who wants change but doesn't know where to direct it.
You aren't having a conversation, you're just trying to get mad at Mamdani for using Twitch when you didn't want him to. That's allowed, but him doing his fucking job is not the issue here, despite it being on Twitch.
We're talking about making laws because that's the solution to your problem.
I don't know what that's supposed to mean? We should ignore glaring problems because other problems exist?
He is driving money and traffic to Twitch and funding one of the most prolific and worst tech billionaires. I'm not sure how you can possibly argue with that, but please, go on.
I've just described several methods, so no, that's simply incorrect. Is it going to be as easy? No. But nothing worth doing ever is.
Mamdani is an influential person with the influence to create an ethical snowball.
...what would you call this?
You're projecting. I'm not mad at him and I've said nothing to indicate that I was. You just made that up.
Could be, but its not necessary. And certainly not relevant to this conversation.
