I'd couch it as being forced to work to make someone else rich in order to satisfy our basic needs.

there is always the need for work in the sense of "labor", regardless of the society we live in. it's a question of who benefits from this labor, who decides what labor is prioritized, and how the fruits are distributed.

The Omarchy Doctrine is a public, fascist creed: heritage as duty, hold the line, the will to power. It matches Roger Griffin's palingenetic populist ultranationalism and Robert Paxton's first stage of fascism: a creed, a leader, followers...

this guy knows how to spot fascism

there are robust anti Microsoft and anti Google movements getting more and more mainstream over time. there are plenty of great alternatives to MS and Google software and services. Linux and FOSS as a whole is benefiting immensely from anti Microsoft sentiment right now. We can and should boycott these two terrible companies

"Avoiding fascist-supporting companies is inconvenient" is a poor excuse, especially when it's so easy to degoogle compared to 10 years ago.

i love the control and freedom of having to spend all my attention on not killing anyone, making sure other drivers don't kill me, paying tolls to use the fastest routes, being tracked everywhere I go, paying tons in taxes to maintain all these roads and subsidize fuel, and being forced to drive so every time i want to leave my home even if i don't feel like it. /s

The Omacom Foundation (Omarchy) contributors listed are:

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, Stripe CEO Patrick Collison, Dell Technologies Chairman and CEO Michael Dell, Block co-founder Jack Dorsey, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, Oculus co-founder Brendan Iribe, 37signals CEO Jason Fried, and Hansson himself.

Matthew Prince has in the past removed nazis from Cloudflare, maybe it's worth bringing his attention to DHH's support for Tommy Robinson and anti-immigrant protests in the UK. The rest of them seem at least sympathetic to, if not part of, the far right.

Also, as an aside, the right wing in your country (if they are anything like the right wing in both the US and Europe) will want to make your police forces more like American cops in order to brutalize immigrants and "others", then anyone they can label as "other" even if they are currently accepted (e.g. LGBTQIA+ people, religious or cultural minorities), then extend it to anyone that disagrees with them. It's up to you to organize with your neighbors against them, because they will tear your society apart as they are doing in the US and elsewhere. They may start with your border police or other specialized forces before attempting to coopt local police.
