Why are so many people ok with a world where you have no say in what your employer does, and they can do whatever they want to suit their bottom line?

Though I wonder how much of this is actually corpophilia and how much is people hiding behind it because they don’t want to say “I’m glad these people I disagree with got fired”.

Here are some threads to show what I’m talking about:

r/technology

r/conservative (though this one feels like cheating)

r/news

r/bayarea

r/google

hacker news

washington post comments

etc…

    why yes, having an improper argument makes it easier to dismiss. This isn’t like a typo or missed word that you can say I’m trying to weasle out of talking with you, it’s a completely skewed perspective on the situation that makes it impossible for us discuss because we’d effectively be having completely different arguments.

      Nice, you avoided having to think on a self-imposed technicality. Real intellectual rigor there.
