MODERATORS
If only there was a group of elected officials who could legislate and regulate industries who hurtle us towards extinction in the quest for unending profit. Wishful thinking I suppose
There really isn't. The only time real, substantial change has ever come from the legislature has been when organised movements have come together to make them afraid of losing their positions of power, and they've been forced to make concessions to preserve themselves.
When they do make those concessions, they make sure to add as much friction as possible to slow the rate of progress and give us the minimum they can get away with.
So like... maybe we don't actually need them. Maybe we should stop asking their permission to make the world better.
