- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
True, in total collapse gold isn’t worth much. However, total collapse isn’t very likely. Across all civilization collapses, it’s never come to that point
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
The only gold worth a damn is the stuff in your hands. Gold speculation is not a hedge against financial crises

- Comment on You should quit social media for good 5 weeks ago:
The only social media I consume is lemmy, and that’s only about 3 hours per day at most. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time. It was easy as soon as I started going for regular walks

Trust me on this one, we used similar organizing techniques for issues like these. The line is thin, but lined with landmines.

The Organizing Committee. They do all the actual organizing and agitating.

I’ve formed a union within the industry. The trick is a balance between meeting with workers and security for the OC. In my campaign, we used discord as well to be a space to connect with as many people as possible outside of work. We also used signal for the OC to discuss the actual organizing. NDAs are limited only to the direct work. You can legally talk about workplace issues though. IWGB (UK equivalent to CODE-CWA) aren’t amateurs, they very likely trained the OC on all of this.

I know, I’ve helped successfully form a large union within the video games industry. NDAs can only cover the work itself.
allowed:
- “I was moved off a high profile project because my manager hates me”
- “The company is illegally withholding wages”
- “I was put on a PIP for barely missing my metrics”
- “The CEO said in a meeting that they want to use AI to replace QA”
not allowed:
- “Wanna hear about this cool bug I found today?”
- “Project XYZ launches on the 30th”
- “Let’s talk about the financials from that all hands meeting before the quarterly report”

Talking about issues surrounding work outside of the workplace is not an NDA violation.
- Comment on How come NK doesn't just come out and say we are in trouble and need help? Like their lack of food and stuff? I really don't see a downside for a country admit they were wrong and need help 1 month ago:
That’s total nonsense. Socialism and capitalism are both economic, and economics are tightly integrated into governance. To divide the two so wholly is a fool’s errand. The difference between the two lies in who owns the factories and fields. If the factories and fields are privately owned, it’s capitalism. The US has been practicing capitalism since before the declaration of independence was even written. Capitalism is also an inherent hierarchical power structure.
Oligarchy is a political form of governance, not an economic model. Oligarchy can exist in several economic models, but let’s focus on how we got oligarchs in this capitalist system. They were created by exploiting the labor of the working class to earn their wealth, but being rich isn’t enough to them. They use their money to buy power, and then leverage that power to increase their wealth.
