You can distill it further. Social hierarchy is the template of all these “disasters”. The original sin, if you will.

Kaczynski was a quintessential reactionary ecofascist, no additional qualifier required. But a lot of people have their first encounter with radical social critique in his writings, so absent any further critical theory his direct acts are often categorized as romantic rebellion, rather than the grossly misdirected randomized murders that they were.
It’s quite the coincidence that as soon as there was a charismatic Harvard grad with a CIA mind-control experiment in his past writing wheat pasted manifestos about technology as the root of all evil while he blew up civilian science researchers, NYTimes - The supposed dignified record of the political center - Was willing to post that shit in full page spread, unsolicited. They didn’t do anything of the sort for a certain charismatic alleged green mario, when he identified social class as the blame.

When I was in high school I used to think that PA was really smart because of the lengthy monologuing. Today it just reads like lorem ipsum drivel to me and the punchlines are mostly contrarian edge lord shit.

They’ve made posts as of 30 minutes ago, that comment has been up for 11 hours, they’ve neither replied or corrected it. I wasn’t born yesterday and I’m done erring on the side of accident with regards to racism and genocide.

Intentionally so? Yes, if you’re being intentionally disrespectful about a black person’s identity that does put you under scrutiny of being anti-black. Is this is a difficult concept for you?
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 3 weeks ago:
About half of his content is interviews with activists / politicians and live-on-the-ground protest coverage. His “react” coverage is mostly training his audience to digest mainstream newsmedia through a leftist lens rather than dramaslop-type takes.

I don’t even sub to Piker but you do know that he is at odds with his uncle over that and other issues, right? He would agree with your stance on the Armentian genocide. He didn’t leave TYT without reason. Anyway, the UK is picking and choosing which foreigners get to advocate which issues on UK soil in order to foment complicity with a current and ongoing genocide, and apparently you’re in favor of that so you can have a very lovely day, thank you (Edited previous removed comment to comply with mod rules on “incivility”).
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 3 weeks ago:
I love Hasan. I wish more privileged voices were as concise and consistent and forceful on left issues like he is. If there were several dozen more people like him we wouldn’t all have to couch our support for their advocacy with a milquetoast disclaimer about how we don’t even like them.
Hell, I’m a vegan and an anarchist. He regularly throws those aspects of my identity under the bus to offer a fig leaf to the unconvinced in his audience so that they listen to more central leftist ideas, and still I love him for that. He has millions of followers, I cannot fathom how impactful he has been to leftist advocacy all over the world in the past 5 years. I’m so fucking sick of people putting disclaimers on their support for him. I don’t even sub to him and I love the guy.
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 3 weeks ago:
His name is 5 letters long and is right there in the post title and you still can’t get it right. Reminds me of Fox News hosts intentionally stumbling over and mispronouncing “Mamdani”.
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 3 weeks ago:
Omg shut the fuck up, we know he’s a hypocrite. Everyone here agrees with you. But this is a much larger issue than one dildo’s genocide denial. You’re effectively muting discussion about ever-more authoritarian western governments unilaterally silencing dissent in favor of your pet soapbox. I’m willing to bet that everyone in this thread is 100% in agreement with you about Cenk but for the love of god please have a sense of priorities.
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 3 weeks ago:
The west has stopped quietly committing genocide against the wishes of it’s people, started forcibly and loudly committing genocide against the desperate cries of it’s people.

A NYTimes opinion piece, penned by an anonymous author on their editorial board, addressing housing costs? Let me guess, it’s going to be some abundance-brained take about deleting regulations and building new stuff, that ignores even consideration of the fact that shelter is a human need which shouldn’t be subject nakedly to the whims of market speculation in the first place?
The main reason is that Massachusetts has not built enough
Yeah

Not true, no one member of a hierarchy need be a moron for the structure itself to generate inefficiencies. I also tend to be over-critical of my own output, when I measure it objectively against coworkers it’s often higher even if it doesn’t feel that way. Awful puritan-style work ethic.

Real answer: I have one of those jobs. I have no immutable advice, everyone’s mileage will vary, but some pointers:
- After you get proficient at a skill, use it to job hop every few years. Job hopping is a great way to leap up the wage ladder.
- Never seek out or accept an in-office position unless it’s your first job or two.
- Avoid the FAANG / MAG7 type companies because they will chew you up and burn you out.
- Never seek out or accept a management role of any sort. The pay to work bump is terrible and going back down looks awful on a resume.

Yeah one of my very close friends has been hurt by early dysfunctional situations and as a result has a super-sensitive fine-tuned judgement of personal character. I’ve known him for almost 30 years and have learned that if he tells you he doesn’t trust someone you should listen to him, even if you don’t see the reason, because he’s running on 100% accuracy.
