Imagine you want to receive donations. However, on your donation page, you have set 5 USD as the minimum requirement for someone to donate. In MYR, that is more than RM20.00. But I only have around RM19.00, and I wonder how I can make a donation to those who require at least 5 USD. I feel bad now, watching their ASMR videos, but at the same time, I can't express my gratitude enough to the artist. I just watched the video for free without donating, and it makes me feel guilty. #AccessibleDonations #SupportArtists #BrokenSystem #GlobalInequality #SmallSupportsMatter #ASMRCommunity #CurrencyBarriers

Meanwhile, the government is banning Tiktok without considering the economic consequences for creators, banning Chinese EVs like the BYD Atto 3 (which I rode in Portugal and loved), all while refusing to fix our predatory healthcare system. #TiktokBan #BYD #BrokenSystem

"To be fair to [the CEO], it’s not all [UHC's] fault. There’s government, there’s health care providers, there’s the public, there’s the media. We all — we all — have to have a role in trying to fix what everyone agrees is a #BrokenSystem." buff.ly/41Erf9P

Silo is showing how people in power play the many against the many, while the few rarely feel any negative consequences.

A scene from the Silo TV series where the head enforcer for the people in power rallies citizens to turn on themselves, while tricking them into thinking that they are actually defending themselves.

why does one have to legitimize a caucus to have a thoughtful conversation about policy? especially when they are fascists or neocons/neolibs? why does government efficiency have to be siloed? why is not the core business of the legislature? oh, you want air time. #brokensystem #govtech

@platypusparent "Minister for Communications Michelle Rowland told the ABC that for something to be deemed misinformation and disinformation under the laws, it would have to both be "seriously harmful and verifiably false".

"It is a very high threshold for what constitutes serious harm," she said."
In other words, Labor watered down the bill enough that Murdoch and other associated media can continue to print and air utter dribble. Why even bother Labor? Why?

@Jinjirrie Politicians saying there is no room for violence in politics and yet they are ok rolling out police to literally shoot citizens exercising their democratic right to protest. This is so far beyond fucked up. Why is there not a single politician condemming police behaviour and ensuring that police can no longer suppress democratic process?? I swear if Australia ever goes full fascist it will be thanks to Victoria.

@mike_k "Justice Natalie Charlesworth also found that the common practice of shredding some ministerial documents when a government loses office is possibly criminal and must stop."
Politicians are often the biggest threat to democracy.
Rex Patrick however is one of a very, very, very small group of pollies who are actually worth their salt.

@feather1952 The oversized influence of one person on democracy. We need a better system because the current one doesn't work for you and me.

@Alpha1Nine@aus.social Rich people, corporations and instutions don't pay, how on earth woudl they ever be rich and keep getting richer if they had to pay? In fact governments like to also give them extra money they don't need because governments aren't there for the citizens, they are there for the benefit of the rich.

@IndyMediaAus It's ok people don't worry, both of those guys are in the correct tier of Australia's so there's no chance they'll ever face any repercussions, let alone jail time.
