    From the Blind discussion

    This idiotic behavior is making me feel ashamed for being a lefty 😭

    On a positive note, it’s helping me feel more empathy for conservatives & people frustrated with wokeness

    Just remember. Not all leftists are pro jihad nutjobs

    100% agree.

    Scratch a liberal, etc.

      I’m as Left as they come but I feel more empathy for fascists and racists.

    There was a series of completely non-threatening sit-ins (like a couple hours, out of the way of any work) like five years ago, and Google immediately shat itself and started making concessions before any demands were even made. Interesting to see the difference.

      tech labor market right now is the weakest it has been since dotcom bubble (other than covid which recovered after literally a few months), even worse than the great financial crisis since that didn’t really hit tech, while 5 years ago was the strongest it has been in decades
