Comment on CISA: Most exploited vulnerabilities should have been eradicated decades ago

Well that and the associated failure of tech culture in Silicon Valley and elsewhere to understand the important of organizing in the workplace not only to improve the quality of working conditions so you can truly show up and feel supported to do good work you are proud of… but also to ensure that the industry at a basic level remains functional and ethical.

If you look at the primary motivating reasons of a lot of industries striking in the US, it often has to do with a universal anger and grief that basic aspects of their work are being undermined by carelessness, nursing is a good example of that.

which were sabotaged by Silicon Valley bourgeoisie. Silicon Valley never ceased being anti-unions, fired at-will, colluded with other firms so you wouldn’t get hired elsewhere. Organizing could never grassroot in blue Texas.

and they failed to translate that into a set of truly professional standards and become something like engineering, plumbing or land surveying, something with a license, a set of high standards that are grounded in a philosophy of doing good honest work… like how doctors have.

I am starting to feel like you’re not aware how successful the bourgeoisie have destroyed every single grassroots organization in the Amerikkka, but unlike other blue collared labours, they allowed their Nazi doctors’ standards to remain. Did you earnestly believe doctors in the Amerikkka weren’t still running Nazi experiments domestically after WWII?

dehumanization of tech workers in the last 20 years and the rise of AI further rationalizing more dehumanization and devaluing of tech work.

Reframe your narrative, Amerikkka never ceased dehumanization campaigns. Esp. in tech.

  I am not saying it was a fair fight, but there absolutely was, however the endpoint was reached, culture of disinterest about it that was not preordained.

    Fear of genocide ≢ disinterest to organize.
    You call “disinterest” the apathy to organize. I witnessed all my comrades get bombed for the sake of 🇺🇲 imperialism. WRNTS.
