Full agreement, way ahead of you. Instead of having a robust, publicly funded infrastructure-based necessity (internet service), it gets chopped up and sold piece-by-piece with price-gouging and local monopolies like warlords.

Technically, Lemmy itself is a "radical left" platform. That was its purpose in creation.

To be fair, choosing Lemmy over Reddit is absolutely a political choice, hence people here are going to be more politically-minded.

Just finished Signalis, got the "Promise" ending. Feel pretty empty after that, it's such a good game and is further proof that games don't have to have incredible graphical fidelity or huge teams to be fantastic and look great.

Co-ops are cool, but markets in general have far too many disadvantages for me to advocate for market-based Socialism over a non-market solution.

Markets are extremely bad when it comes to proper allocation of essentials. Infrastructure in general should be nationalized at minimum, and heavily invested in.

Delusions of self-confidence in their skills due to having an in-demand job. Once supply meets demand and their wages fall to the norm, tech bros won't have that insane level of confidence in having "won" Capitalism.

Yep, it tries to do the whole anticapitalist thing, but also not being a leftist power fantasy. It's still possible to walk away with an extremely liberal message of "unchecked Capitalism bad, but checked capitalism good." Still a good game, though.

Unfortunately not as much as you would like. There's plenty of chances to blast corpo rats, but CEOs and whatnot? Nah. Ironically, in many endings, you accidentally reinforce the issues as people take advantage of your actions for power plays.

FOSS is a good way to convert techbros to leftism.

Nationalize internet.
