Add it to the pile of shit they’ve completely fucked up recently.

I came to realize this sometime around April of 22, I kinda had a complete mental breakdown, as in I quit my job and tried something crazy career wise because it gave me a feeling of control over my life again. I landed on my feet but that’s not the point. The point is that we are now locked into an ever repeating cycle of stopping the fascists. Which means it will be decades, until after all the ancient occupiers of power have passed. But by the time that comes I don’t even know what the world will look like, we need a general stirke

Dude we need to get through this one first, there may not be a 2029 election

100%. A full on IT Workers Union would immediately become one of the most powerful weapons in fighting the oppression of the capitalist class. An IT strike could be effective enough that a general strike wouldn’t be necessary

We are being actively dragged back in time to a point where it was less difficult for the rich and powerful to control us like livestock

Thank you, I’m so tired of this loyalty to decorum. Call them what they are, authoritarian regressives

Wild that I got downvoted to hell like 9 months ago for suggesting such a thing

Not in my experience growing up with “good Christians”

It just further proves that the primary driving philosophy of conservatism is in groups and out group, one to be protected and one to be bound

I’ll be intrigued to see how this goes with his followers, seems like they’d be opposed to this

Yes. Charging money for sharing content like that makes them little better than grifters

Dude I’ve been getting those vibes since it became apparent Trump couldn’t be kept from becoming the GOP nominee

I agree it’s probably not the number one reason someone would turn down one of those jobs. But anyone that’s on the fence might be swayed

I’m increasing suspicious is that the reason marijuana is being rescheduled is that someone finally convinced the brass that they are talent limited in the IT world because of the large percentage of IT pros that smoke

Pretty much, they’ll all eventually turn on each other for not being Christian enough but they’ll keep it together long enough to destroy the lives of everyone else

I relistened to it the whole series on him the night he dies while drinking champagne. Felt good

We united and circled the wagons, everyone that wasn’t with America was against America, that’s what 9/11 did, it gave a spark to an already existing powder keg of latent fascism in the subconscious of America. It destroyed a sense of invincibility that had been growing inside our collective culture, that the struggles were behind us and we’d always be safe, the fear and sense of uncertainty it brought thoroughly cooked the brains of so many Americans that we started distrusting everything and backing into isolation.

Bin Laden won because his goal was to make America bleed, to prove it was vulnerable to its own people, which would and has lead to the place we now stand

See I would have agreed with you just a few years back, the fear of a martyr is that it will radicalize their followers. I don’t think that applies here because in their eyes he’s already surpassed martyr status

I’m not giving them this W, Bin Laden is the most influential single actor here, there were many more who laid the ground work(the John Birch society, the federalist society, George Lincoln Rockwell, William Luther Pierce, Roger Stone, Murdoch, Limbaugh, and the Koch’s come to mind) but 9/11 was the poison pill that broke the country
