With unemployment low and wages rising, the struggle for basic necessities like food should be easing. But those on the front lines of feeding the hungry say they are seeing the opposite.
That said, it’d be interesting to see (over news in the web, living in Russia) some good protests with successes leading to, say, abolition of copyright and patent laws as they exist now. That would open a lot of avenues for economic development now suffocated by monopolies, oligopolies and patent trolls.
Maybe every generation says that because it’s been more and more true for each generation. That’s how capitalism works, continually cutting out the legs from underneath the working class. That’s the entire concept, you continue to squeeze as much as you can to increase profits and one of the easiest places to squeeze is labor costs.
Well, using a quantor like “forever” is usually a bad idea. In the following decade, two decades or so - definitely, so you are right, but we all have friends and family.
Well, seems kinda wrong, being in another country and all. Also that’s not the most protest-worthy thing here (putting aside the fact that copyright law is not that strongly upheld in Russia).
Find a good organization and contribute donations I guess then. I don’t know. I just get tired of seeing so many comments saying “everybody else needs to protest“

china will start honoring oopyrights and patents before western civilization gives up on it.
Yikes, yeah you’re in a fucked up place forever. Get the hell out of there by any means possible.

Then organize a protest.

Yes, that’s better.
