- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 3 days ago:
Germany was worried about a two front war, with Russia slowly getting ready to help Serbians on the east. They decided to try for a knock-out attack against France by going through Belgium. They made it shockingly close to Paris, before their efforts stalled.

Definitely. Generational divide is another tool of capital to reduce solidarity of the working class.
- Comment on all about the mindset 1 week ago:
Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s we started to be able to use WiFi on laptops and connect to the Internet with some mobility.
Almost everyone had the fantasy of working from the beach or their garden in the sun.

Maybe evangelicals who preach the prosperity gospel believe in “just world”? However in the Book of Job it is made pretty clear that doing everything God asks of you doesn’t help you at all, and might even be a reason that you get shit on.

- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
A simple DEI policy would be, for example, to remove the name from a resume before passing it over to the hiring manager for initial selection. That reduces bias against ethnic groups, religions, or genders.
