Doing the the thing in direct opposition to what an authority is demanding is like a trauma response or something.

Yeah. Lemmy users should spend a bit of time deconstructing why tik tok makes them so angry. There's a bit to unpack there. Not that it isn't trash.
Aren't they turning that into a movie at the moment too?
Oh yeah, lifestyle changes will totally change the system, just look how far green capitalism got us /s. As far as I can tell, personal responsibility and guilt is a tool used very successfully by the oppressive classes. It's not progressive to point the finger at people who don't have the luxury of hand picking an "ethical profession"-something I'd love to see an example of? Find better targets to be angry at bud.
I feel like this trope should be applied to jobs outside of science. Like retail. Retail workers are just as prone to insanity and it's up to us to make that romantic and cool in similar ways. Also science outside of physics, like geology.
When I worked in a brothel an alarming amount of father's, uncles, brothers etc. would bring in underage boys, or more frequently young men who has just turned 18. Like they thought it would set them up better in life, like finishing college of something. Gender roles are horrible for everyone involved. Support kid getting dying wish but seriously question if maybe things could be better because there's much more to life than sex
What exactly is a cyber weapon? How is tik tok different or more harmful than twitter for example
Dread to ask but comparatively to what?
Wait, the kids are alright potentially
Yeah absolutely. Grassroots organising is good but so is being angsty on the internet. Like how a few people were talking about voting as a tool for harm prevention on an individual rather than systemic level before the election. Whatever works to make you feel less powerless is a good thing
