The answer is capitalism, I know.
But it wasn’t always like this. Why the hell are they allowed to absolutely monopolize all shows and venues? How are there not laws on this?
Is stopping going to any shows the only way to fix this? If so, that wont happen. People are gonna go see their favorite bands (and ticketmonster knows it)
I wish this one was as easy as getting rid of all my streaming services - but they really fucked us over for live shows.
Well 40% of my country thinks a pedophile nepo baby failed businessman should be in charge and the majority of states are trying to kill the concept of democracy and the majority of my congress is in favor of further dismantling the government and my supreme court thinks the pedo is a god-emperor who can shoot someone in the face and have no negative consequences and the majority of the state apparatus is working to violate the constitution on a daily basis.
So…no, I don’t think we do have enough people in my country who want to fix this.
Your username says petrol so maybe you do, but that’s not the case in my country.
I live in the US. This American apathy and resentment of political power, this vaguely libertarian vote-with-your-wallet thing, is specifically what I’m criticizing. It’s a kind of political advocacy that abstains from the reigns of power. It’s also, like, a step above changing their profile picture.
I’m aware that everything is broken. But, it was less broken in the past. It’ll be more broken in the future. I look around, though, and I see so little interest in reclaiming the power we’ve lost. Nobody wants to hold the reigns. Zohran does. He’s trying something.
I worry that a lot of Americans, if not most of them, desperately want politics to go back to being something they don’t have to think about; which isn’t good—that’s not a good thing. You don’t win a game of chess by skipping your turn every time it comes up.
