He's already doing this. We worry too much about "oh how bad would the backlash be?" but we are already heading for X,com-powered fascism, what's to lose?

As an European, I think the obscene amount of lobbying we allow to happen around EU institutions is something that makes "European democracy is just as bad" sound reasonable.
"They would prefer instead an increase in the basic salary of restaurant employees." Crazy how indoctrinated the Swiss are
100% ! Similar to all those youtube celebrities promoting Ocean Clean Up projects but avoiding the fact that the only real solution is just stop producing unnecessary plastic trash. Also that instead of looking for donations, these projects should be paid by the companies that produced these plastics.
Yes! It's a great thing! The next thing we should aim is to pass laws forcing Government instances (Germany and Netherlands already have) so politicians and institutions use those for their public/social media profiles and abandon X/Twitter/Threads and anything that isn't decentralized. The mention of Mastodon/Lemmy/Pixelfed in the media (when eg. journalists quote a politician) would attract more users to these platforms. I believe this is truly necessary if we want to keep democracy healthy and have our socials out of the control of crazy billionaires.
