Persona As An Animal Crossing Character

persona as an animal crossing character

yo, my friend brings up some good points here.

don't get me wrong i absolutely love the fact that people are pushing back on mojang and microsoft over the mob vote. i am overjoyed at the trend lately of widespread action from userbases to push back on companies making decisions that screw over their users for the sake of money (twitter, reddit, unity, etc). but let's not miss the bigger picture here.

the mob vote situation and others like it are microcosms of capitalism as a whole; people are upset because they've noticed that entities with enough resources to provide whatever they want to are providing only the illusion of choice, and never actually offering---let alone giving---people that which they actually want/need.

petition and boycott, both of which are being employed by people opposing the mob vote, are mechanisms of political change. the unified mobilisation of the community is akin to unionising.

so just,,, remind people: if they think boycotting the mob vote is a good thing to do, they should also support labor movements and anti-capitalist political groups.

because they're the same thing.

one is but a smaller, more digestible version of the other.
