An infamous Warhawk would’ve been upset about the President ending a war? You don’t say. **** Jake Tapper too.
What’s really interesting to me is how the Overton window on this topic has shifted right and instead of a debate between going back in person and trying to continue to teach the majority of under 12 years old kids online while since they cannot be vaccinated. The debate is they must go to school but should they be required to wear a mask.bruh I hate his Mayor Quimby looking ***. Thank goodness the school districts in Dade, Broward and PBC ignored his stupid *** and are applying mask mandates
The post is talking about how there is a different take on the situation but the outlets you claim are bias toward liberals are intentionally burying itthis just happens to be the one issue that has united all sides against how poorly the withdrawal was executed
Agreed with one caveat: Ron DeSantis’ entire aesthetic is the villain from Kindergarten Cop.bruh I hate his Mayor Quimby looking ***. Thank goodness the school districts in Dade, Broward and PBC ignored his stupid *** and are applying mask mandates
Didnt see that coming

Having a play at horizontal management doesn’t make someone egalitarian, much less anti-capitalist. Valve is a great example. Often, as Rusty pointed out, corporate efforts are rooted in libertarian disdain for the social contract and individual obligation to anything other than immediate self-gratification.
In practice, de facto hierarchies emerge around seniority/proximity to founders, and then you have the issue of "tyranny of the majority," which, in tech, generally means fraternity-style toxic workplace environments.
At scale, organizations plagued by constant infighting and paralysis by analysis lack the agility needed to adapt to changing conditions, but history isn't exactly lacking in cautionary examples of "benevolent dictators."
These aren't easy problems to solve, but I would urge against making glib judgments about entire concepts based on the failures of certain self-appointed representatives.
If you believe that mocking Nathan Robinson is mocking socialism, you have a poor view of socialism.
People gleefully point out the failures of Occupy or CHAZ to present collectives as inherently doomed, and "naturalize" dominance hierarchies a la Jordan Peterson - a stilted comparison if ever there was one, given how well our current systems are functioning. Let's not make perfect the enemy of better. That said, if the goal is to create ever safer and more equitable systems, critique is both warranted and necessary. If Maisey and Bennett can't make a co-op work, maybe the problem is with them.
Robinson fancied himself a spokesperson for socialism, and he was all too willing to play along as colleagues mused about their notions of an Utopian workplace - up until the moment things got a little too real and he felt his status was threatened.
This speaks to the credibility problem among the "Bernie Bro" style activists who may give lip service to equality when it serves their purposes, but primarily seek to organize around cishet White male grievance politics (for "pragmatism"). His "comrades" clearly regret falling for the okey doke, but his failures, like Valve's, should inform our efforts to build better organizations, not deter them.
I am all for pointing and laughing at Leisure Suit Lenin, but nihilism is the wrong takeaway here.
There’s a reason the hats never said “criminal justice reform.”
