> It's shocking how we can have so much outrage over unknown people but we're flush out of rage for the system that makes us so angry all the time.

Shocking? Hell this is half of the value social media provides capital: distracting the population with a hall of mirrors while offering precisely zero paths to a better future.

well, not zero. But yes, you need to find the small hidden paths to take back what we once had.

There's a reason I deleted my reddit and Facebook and never had a twitter. You're not going to have genuine conversations and experiences there if your goal is "socializing" these days. Or at least, the genuine ones are outflooded by engagement bait.

This will certainly not be offered by capital, though.

		Of course not, that's why it's small and hidden. As an example, you wouldn't even find a place like HN unless you are a particular kind of person or looking a a particular type of news. And I wouldn't even say HN is "hidden" per se. But it has kept its site counter to many other social media trends over the years. Those choices will build a different culture from Instagram or Tiktok.
