minus-squaretourist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·23 hours agoKick me in the brain stem if I’m on the wrong track, but I feel like it’s by design In general, Everyone hates public officials taking bribes Everyone hates streaming services raising their subscription fees Everyone hates advertisements Everyone hates big pharma charging $1000 for a cancer treatment pill that costs 0.1c to manufacture The throughline is obvious, but I feel most people just take a neutral or dismissive (and sometimes aggressive) stance if you bring it up. It’s that cognitive dissonance that feels engineered. I don’t know how to fix that. Admittedly, I still need to do more reading.
