I would never be a whistleblower, because we've all seen what happens: The whistleblowers are imprisoned or exiled and the vast majority of the population simply doesn't care, and we continue barreling down the slide of oppression.
It only works if the vast of the majority cares.
But for some bizarre, unexplained, unreasonable and arbitrary reason - the majority doesn't.
Yet, day after day, hour after hour, they're complaining, complaining and complaining about the mountain of problems with Facebook and social media. People, make up your fucking mind already. Do you want to continue to be fucked with for more years by the very things that have already been fucking with you for the past two decades? Or do you actually want someone to take the bullet FOR YOU and TRY to do something about it?
Because this kind of sacrifice only works - if you fucking gave a damn. The more times you don't give a damn, the more this shit continues running as is.
They complain about the problems they are complicit in creating. It's like Boomers complaining about the homeless and younger generations ruining home ownership despite intentionally jacking up home prices to enrich themselves. Lots of selfish bastards here in the US.
