Let’s juggle some alternatives: worker co-ops 🎭, social democracy 🌍, and anarcho-syndicalism 🏴. Work-life balance awaits—if we want it. #FalseDichotomy #WorkSmarter

Breaking the Binary! ⚡
Why pick between greed (capitalism) 🤑 and state control (communism) 🤷‍♀️? Co-ops, mutual aid, and fair work-life vibes are on the table too. Let’s get creative! #FalseDichotomy

@GucciAndUte #FalseDichotomy Fleissig UND flauschig ☝👀

@wdlindsy I believe the historical phrase is “love it or leave it”. Unfortunately, that mindset leaves out the option of “love it and fix it”.

@JugglingWithEggs This is part of the education fight, and the book-bannings. Christian colleges and schools won’t teach evolution, teach young Earth, and are anti-LGBTQ and anti-women’s rights. I married a scientist—and it was a bit of a scandal. 😂 (Scientist AND Christian—scandalous!) I prefer to be a Christian who believes in real science, and separation of church and state. #Science #Christianity #FalseDichotomy #FreedomOfSpeech #FreedomOfReligion #SeparationOfChurchAndState

@maxleibman Absolutely! It's a #FalseDichotomy at its finest!

Remember when Republicans said they wanted to get government off the back of businesses? Wasn't that when the party said it was the law and order party?

@Tealk Users protecting themselves was proven to fail in the 2016 US election. The users manipulated by C/A each individually failed to block the data abuser. There were enough of them to influence election results.

Users always have choice. It’s a #falseDichotomy to say control is either with the admin or users. Users can block who they want. Users can also run their own instance & federate with FB if they want, or join an instance that does not protect its users from #surveillanceCapitalism.

@jwildeboer Einzelpersonen können für sich selbst entscheiden, ob sie sich Google aussetzen wollen und ggfs. relativ spontan wechseln.
Auch diese Menschen können es fragwürdig finden eine für „Data-Ownership“ ins Leben gerufene Infrastruktur auf Servern laufen zu lassen, die diesen Idealen widersprechen. #FalseDichotomy

@juergen_hubert @Gargron The only two design choices available aren’t “funnel everyone to mastodon.social” or “present a list of thousands of servers.” The default button could automatically round-robin a large list of servers that are known to be run by good actors. This is a solved problem. The solution is not being used, in this case, because, clearly, mastodon.social does want to grow.

@Je5usaurus_rex

One thing I've learned is that my own #nation, #party, or #religion is rarely as good as they claim to be, and the #enemy nation, party, or religion is rarely as bad as they claim.

That doesn't mean both aren't horrible. If one #corporation runs #NegativeAdvertising about another, both could still engage in #WageSlavery.

@icedquinn
Look, we need to be cautious about getting bogged down in a war in which we all lose. Partisanship is not going to get anyone anywhere. That's what they want.

What we need to ask ourselves is, "Who created this situation? Who has created this #falseDichotomy/false choice?"

We all know the answer to this. Its no surprise.
