That's where donvict's story should have peaked - being on WWF or whatever the fuck it is called these days.

It was entirely accurate and later polls even showed that was so, but, even today, the Elevated Centrists and the Tone Police will come out of the woodwork to scold both Hillary and anyone else that points out similar accurate things about the qons.

This is such a weird hobbyhorse of the right - getting everyone "back to work", meaning a very narrow definition of work that only includes being in-person.

It's like they are so enraged that donvict's stupid handling of Covid and the reality of Covid so obviously overriding all their silly belief systems about how things like science work, that they want to erase ALL of the effects of Covid, such as the tidal shift to remote work.

I used to get a commenter on Denver Post forums that would argue with me until he was blue in the face that Covid would have no long-term cultural impacts. He absolutely insisted on it, even as nearly everyone that could work from home, was 100% doing so....he claimed this would have no long term effect, and everyone should plan on "getting back to work" in a few weeks. He started this in 2020 and kept it up until DP shut off their comments.

I think he was especially incensed over WEF's use of the term "The Great Reset" and anything that had a whiff of "globalists" is something people like that are programmed to get triggered about. But anyway, when I look around, I still see long-term cultural impacts of Covid, even if some wingers hate the idea of the WEF.

Hm, Bannon is right about Elmo. He is a toddler. It's also hilarious that Bannon doesn't realize he is also a nerd, LOL.

Also, elmo is right about Bannon - he is a contemptible fool.

I've heard that term several times from some bothsiderists that were making excuses to not vote, or vote Republican, claiming both sides are "so extreme" now.

I asked for examples of how Democrats are "too extreme". It usually boils down to trans or how people were protesting Israel's treatment of Gaza. Probing deeper on actual policy, it really came down to a bunch of nothing.

What's amusing is that I've seen Nazis on the 'net openly state that there will be "peace" if everyone bows to white supremacy and lets fascism rule, that is. They say the same thing about "free speech" - they demand free speech for all, mostly themselves, until they seize power. Then all speech must agree with their views....or else.

They openly admit this when they can hide behind nyms and so on. Very interesting how Elon's behavior on "free speech" more or less maps right onto this. Whines about "free speech" on Xitter before he owns it, then takes ownership, and exercises all kinds of censorship on those he disagrees with.

I wondered if he twirled his mustache in an especially fey way, LOL?

I think it's mostly built around trumped-up nonsense from corporations. It's about controlling what might be an unruly set of people - engineers starting to demand better pay and hours and having too much autonomy. Many of those visas go to software engineers. I don't buy for a second that companies cannot source those skills locally.

In the rare case where that is actually true - I say put together a program in which companies can seek and hire foreign talent, but they are given citizenship status, with no strings attached to any company.

Indentured servitude should not be a thing, but this is what regulatory capture gets us, I guess. Companies whine they cannot find anyone (for the right price and willing to put up with all their toxic bullshit, they mean) so the corrupt government sets up a system to exploit foreign labor AND native labor.

I hate that Bannon has the right position on H-1B, but for very stupid and irrelevant reasons.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago

Oh no! I thought calling someone else a racist, justified or not, was the very worstest thing you could do!

Is Elon infected with the WOKE MIND VIRUS?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

I remember just a short while ago when idiot magabrainz were grumbling about "Big Tech" curtailing their freedoms, being central characters in Qanon, and/or being people that donvict needed to get revenge on or whatever.

Imagine that - they were just as full of shit on this as everything else.

I wonder about them for two key reasons:

  1. Why won't they provide an end to end encryption?
  2. Why won't they give an option to keep that little bubble green?

Seems awfully sus and anti-worker, if you ask me. Most other clients tend to have these as options and have even before Slack crept into the picture.
