tyranny of the majority

🤔

It doesn’t matter what direction you’re punching here. You’re being called out because your analysis is wrong. Yes, politics in the west is certainly dominated by straight white males, but the important common trait that these people have is their class. Politics in most of the world is dominated by capital owners. Straight white males are afforded some concessions because it creates a divide among the working class. This does not mean that they are not oppressed due to their class character. Working class straight white males can and do suffer from some of the same oppression however, at a lower rate. This oppression is still unjustifiable.

In Canada, our conservative party calls themselves the Progressive Conservatives (PC). They’re both racist and constantly working to dismantle what little social safety nets we have left. I have no idea what’s so progressive about them.

At this point, I’m considering learning Android development just so that I can give myself access to the custom emoji picker.

It made me laugh, comrade.

We are talking about the US state, aren’t we?

You’re arguing semantics. If the US state simply found a work-around to continue racial slavery, then they are still doing racial slavery. Full stop.

I don’t get your point on Hispanic Americans being included in that demographic as proving your point. If we consider Hispanics a racial minority, which they are, then these numbers only give further merit to the fact that racial slavery is still practiced in Amerikkka.

Every engineering job I’ve left has been because of bad leadership.

The first, they hired a lead with no business being a lead. Not only was I much stronger from a technical perspective even though I had only been doing it professionally for about 3 years, but I was a better leader to the rest of the team as well. I had been sort of filling in in the interim before they were hired. They were let go not too long after I left.

The second, they hired an EM. I had been asked to work on setting up the code base for replatforming our web app and begin migrating pieces of it over. I was basically doing this on my own and working with timelines that I had given to leadership and providing weekly updates. This EM started micro-managing everything. This not only slowed my progress to a crawl, it was demotivating and stressful. They were let go not too long after I left.

My current position, I was moved to a new team during a company reorganization. The EM on this team is completely psychotic. Micro-managing to a degree that I’ve never seen before. They’re convinced that what we do Agile SCRUM, but we take in large projects each quarter, plan and scope them at the beginning, and then spend the rest of the quarter executing on them. When I or the team make suggestions that align better with agile, we’re gaslit and told our ideas “are waterfall not agile”.

We usually don’t take on projects that go longer than a quarter. The project that I’m on currently is bleeding into Q4. I warned about this from the very beginning, but the result was just more gaslighting, that I took too long on planning. I would have left, but the job market isn’t as friendly to hopping around as it was previously. Thankfully, I’ll be switching teams once this project is over.

Overall, all of these places had their problems beyond leadership. These are things that I can tolerate however, and with good leadership, can work towards improving. Once leadership turns to shit, it’s time to gtfo.

No it didn’t.

If you insist on using Marxist terminology, it would greatly benefit you to read some actual Marxist theory. I’m not saying that Gramsci wasn’t a Marxist either. He was. You clearly don’t understand these terms, however.

Putting as in the same bucket as deliveroo drivers is not good for society.

It’s absolutely necessary to improve society. You have way more in common with that Deliveroo driver than with the wealthy C-suites that “run” Google or the company that you work for. Those people could stop “working” tomorrow and would have enough capital to coast the rest of their lives, their children’s lives, their grandchildren’s lives, etc. You, that driver, and I all have to continue working, because if we don’t, there’s the imminent threat of poverty, homelessness, and ultimately death.

I know you’re joking, but this isn’t even true. The feedback loop that you get from pre-written tests in watch mode is pretty much instantaneous. This helps me to arrive at the correct solution much more quickly than trying to validate each case as I go.

Yup! Next is the most mature and complete framework for React. If I need SSR and/or SSG with hydration, it’s my go to for now. It adds some complexity, so it can be overkill if you don’t need these things. My experience working with it has been excellent.

Lol. Lmao even. Yeah Stalin with his big spoon ate up all the grain leaving none for the people. Forget the fact that famines were just a thing that happened back then. It happened fairly often under tsarist Russia. This was the last famine they would face because the Soviet leadership learned from it how to prevent it from happening again. Again, not bothering to consider the simplest answer because Stalin wanted to starve his own people for reasons.

Yeah! Stalin brainwashed the entire population of the Soviet Union. Surely they don’t love him for helping to bring about prosperity and wellbeing in a large area of the world that was severely lacking in these things prior to the October revolution. It also can’t be because his army was the primary factor in destroying a fascist invasion. It’s amazing how so many people are so quick to dismiss the simplest and factually correct answer when it comes to do with anything related to socialism.

These reactionary psychos want trans people to not exist. They want games to take them to this “ideal” world of theirs and any small reminder of the fact that trans people do exist is triggering for them.

It’s pretty funny the way he pulls up the game menu almost immediately after he’s done raging. 10/10 reactionary moment.
