I used to find it funny. It's not funny anymore.

And now Sony owns them. As much as I like From, I'm getting ready to cope with them enshittifying.

I'm not even talking about saving democracy yet, I'm just talking about whether or not the democrats earn a "You tried" sticker.

I think the only way the Democrat party meets the current moment is if an AOC or Bernie or similar wins the next presidential primary and aggressively replaces the current leadership.

Yeah, but what's the brain worm party gonna do for the working man?

After the last election, I have zero faith in the American public's ability to learn any lesson. We've got a whole propaganda ecosystem dedicated to keeping that from happening. The lessons will have to get more painful than covid was.

In similar news, water continues to be wet.

From what I hear from the government employees I know, if they had bothered to clear the legal hurdles before sending out the offer, a lot more people would be taking them up on it. But they'd only do that if they were competent, and at that point we're diverging so far from reality it seems pointless to speculate.

No, no, no, it's quite simple. If he is a friend, he will speak the password and the doors will open.

Unironically whatever.

At least in idiocracy, the president appointed the smartest guy in the world to solve their problems. Instead, we got Musk.

So glad to have a country led by these visionary businessmen who can think of innovative ideas like making the workplace shitty.

Because like it or not, they'll keep on voting. Making a percentage of them realize they're being taken advantage of might make a pivotal difference in this country's future.

Maybe this is the inevitable endgame of a society that tries to harness greed the way capitalism does. Something can be working completely sustainably and for the general good, like NOAA does, and they still try to take parts of it away just so they can extract profits by selling to you what used to be free.

Its why they hate work from home. Covid came along and necessitated that workers en masse be given a benefit, and capitalists werent able to extract any concessions in return because it was an emergency. So, they claw it back, but you might be able to get a special exception if you play ball.

It's almost as if they're bad-faith hypocrites who will drop any supposed values the instant it's convenient for consolidating their power.

The cruelty is the point.

Democrats could have a pretty powerful anti-establishment and anti-billionaire narrative in the near future, and it would probably be pretty successful.

But only if the Democrat billionaires and establishment get out of the way.

I tend to assume a lot of Twitter employees know they're the baddies, but they like their H1B visas too much to protest about it.
