Hello World!
We have done it! We opened the first openly anti corporate community on lemmy.
The description has been carefully crafted but still needs a lot of work so feel free to suggest additions and give feedback. We will add rules and other stuff eventually.
The discussion in here should remain respectful. People who defend corporations are still people. Please be kind. If they use rhetoric instead of arguments they will be banned anyway.
Please report and kind of trolling and what you suspect as propaganda. Our definition of propaganda is the following:
Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.[1] Propaganda can be found in a wide variety of different contexts.[2]
This is taken from the wikipedia.org article. We dont interject if someone is just passionate but if the language they use suggests that they are trying to get around making good arguments, we will.
We’re happy to have you here. Feel free to post something.
Have a great day! :)
It’s been a long time since human beings were actually in control of corporations and not the other way around. These multinational behemoths are self-sustaining entities that exist outside of the control of civilized society and subsume the collective efforts of their employees into outcomes that are perverse and unethical, effectively stripping human beings of their agency and ensuring that all economic relationships tilt towards oppression and exploitation. You have my support.
I deeply appreciate this sentiment. It is a grueling account of our slow but steady decline both in the past and likely in the future, which makes cyberpunk scenarios so much more scary.
Thank you for your support. Please feel free to post your thoughts, questions and resources. This is a group effort and every person counts. Momentum is key.
Have a good one.
