Woofer posted:And if it takes being an insufferable prick with unlimited arguing stamina, kicking some doors in or knocking some skulls around then so loving be it. That's fine. Just remember that others are doing that as well when you go off like this: Woofer posted:You’re making people hate you and not give a poo poo about your cause. A lot of people are passionate about basically making things suck less and improving safety and security and equity and the environment and so on. It's going to lead to disagreements about ways and means, but we should generally try to remember that unless someone's expressly being reactionary or is a Billionaire themselves or whatever, they're probably agreeing with you 70%+ and not the actual enemy.

This is a bit of an embellishment. I realize not everyone is built to fight for social change and I don’t expect everyone to participate. But if you’re not happy about it and just spend all day online complaining about it, realize that that widespread apathy is why we were in this situation.

Iain posted:I guess I don't understand. Wasn't the stipulation for the PPP loan that you not fire people? These companies that fired people will have to pay it back right? Didn't some airliner fire a bunch of people like hours after getting their loan? I think someone posted their stipulations in the thread. It was not to fire people while the money lasted and that it goes to the workers and is accounted for or something. The small business owners I talked to did this and then closed up once the money was gone. Also Cole, people are focused on getting through the next hour or day and are more than happy to accept a palliative measure if it helps them do that. It doesn't make them an enemy. Change is scary because it can mean change for the worse and people focus on the negative over the positive. You should take a negotiations and a people class as well.

Everyone is angry and upset and poo poo but nothing will change unless that anger is directed at the ruling class which perpetuates the conditions that make everyone feel like poo poo, but instead people are so loving worried about peoples skin colour, or religion, or what loving brand of car they drive or any number of small stupid petty bullshit that DOESN'T MATTER Our society is broken at a fundamental level and I really don't know an answer and am mainly venting and trying to express myself but something has to change in society or else we are just gonna drive ourselves off a cliff. We are more worried about the most inane bullshit while people are loving starving, we all do it, I do it, and its just automatic. This shouldn't be normal. We will never have a classless society the way behave and are raised right now. All we can do is try and organize, education and try and be better, cause I really don't know what to do really. If I sound crazy I also did about 3 dabs before posting this

Hot Karl Marx posted:If I sound crazy I also did about 3 dabs before posting this Yeah, I’d ease up on the “your racial/ethnic/religious background isn’t important” angle if seeking to build a broad coalition instead of coming across as an “I don’t see color” type. That might be some overly free flow speaking rather than what you meant though.

Literally the only reason I still have a roof over my head at this point is the PPP loans and extended UI benefits. They might be woefully inadequate and tilted towards the ruling class by a wide margin, but I am in my own home right now because the event company I work at was able to get a PPP loan. As you can imagine, there weren’t many events in the last 9 months. It is possible to feel more than one thing at a time. Like I want you to know that. I can be happy that I still have a job at a company that will exist in 5 months due to PPP loans, while being pissed that this is all they did. No Nuance November is over.

AND we lost the get out of jail free cards for businesses who force workers in unsafe conditions. It's not everything we could want, but it's still a victory.

I thought they were willing to do extensions separately though? Not trying to defend them, just remember correctly.

The IC has received relevant reporting since the election and a number of agencies have not finished coordinating on the product. The DNI is committed to providing this report to our customers expeditiously. The line "The IC has received relevant reporting" is what bothers me, not because of what it could be, because of how this excert will be weaponized by narrativists and punditry for the next goddamned month.

The campaign statement is fake, but earlier today it was reported that WH staff have said he's threatened to refuse to leave recently, then he gets talked down by his aides.
