      Tech bros pushed us to believe that disagreeing and arguing instead of voting is the right way.

      So we are now distracted while they reshape the world with hunger and death

        How constrained must one's thinking be to think like this? There are massive actual issues, and they're not your hated group of choice's fault.

          Ah, the famed "Nuh-Uh" defense. The fact is, Tech companies and the bros that head them have all of the money, all of the connections, and all of the information. Those of us not on that side of the equation do not. They may not be the initial cause of so many problems but they certainly have accelerated and deepened a great many of them in their race to extract (somehow) even more wealth from the societies that host them. We aren't nearly angry enough at them IMO.

            That's all you need for baseless claims.
