Agents without agency is some real double speak and might reflect how many view workers.

Hitman: Climate Justice Edition

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

People like Luigi remind me of "The Children of Kali" from the book "The Ministry for the future". The Children of Kali targeted the owners of these multinational death machines but would not accept any collateral damage. Instead they were patient. The abusers got so scared they would never leave their house, but even that would not save them. Point is, these people follow a set of laws different from the ones that dominate society. They conducted themselves according to that law and that guided their assassinations. Something to think about as our own laws become lawless.

The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain

This so much. The "voters are too stupid" narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don't inform) voters.

Are there no trans billionaires to object to being erased?

I get the impression billionaires are a big reason we aren't addressing climate change. Sad that the Children of Kali are our best hope.

Seems to me there is a big difference between attacking someone's identity and claiming the earth is flat or marijuana is bad. The fact the mods don't seem to address this is concerning.

I mean there has always been illegal speech, we just don't usually call it censorship.

The badge lets others know you're a masochistic

Is joining a union an individual action or a social circumstance?

I guess my point is that environment (social circumstance) and individual behavior is a gradient. Drawing a clear line between the two so that "individual behavior" is the largest share might actually be unhealthy framing as it takes out of focus how an individual might improve their circumstances.

Individual behavior basically includes what kind of job you're working, because that definitely impacts much of those other behaviors like sleep and quality of food.

People's political views are too diverse for there to be a moderate middle and this has been known for a while: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-moderate-middle-is-a-myth/

Jesus did not get along with the wealthy or their politicians.

It's simple really, facts don't matter to these people, only power.

Peter Thiel must be sad. I wonder if he was the one who hired Milo to trash talk about Loomer to Trump to get her off the campaign trail.

Providing context is a display of liberal bias.

Let's be real, they're not axing it because of diversity, but rather the two words that follow (Equity and Inclusion) are an anathema to share holder value.

Careful, people might start thinking you can teach Democrats to do better by making them loose.

You can't win the medium that is owned by the opposition. Bottom line is they will enforce their rules (and make new ones) against any successful leftist strategy on the platform. And conveniently ignores those same rules in regards to the right.
