  • So all the escalations and violence from NATO that preceded the official start of the war don’t count?

    If you do a thing that you know is going to lead to war then you’re starting the war. And NATO knew its brinkmanship with Ukraine was very likely to force Russia’s hand – analysts across the political spectrum were screaming it for years trying to sound the alarm. The mistake they made was assuming NATO would care to avoid war.

    NATO led Ukraine into war, has fed Ukrainians into the abattoir of Russian artillery, sabotaged peace talks, and just generally clearly gives 0 fucks about Ukrainian lives.












  • Typical capitalist rag trying to trick us into thinking we won so we stop demanding better treatment while giving them what they want.

    “Hybrid” isn’t really a win for workers. One of the biggest advantages of remote work right now is that it significantly decreases the risk of getting Covid and Long Covid. Work is a big transmission vector, especially now that liberals have killed mask mandates. Having to go on site 3 days a week means taking on a risk of bringing home a deadly or debilitating disease 3 days a week. This is how a coworker got multiple family members hospitalized with Covid over Christmas break this past winter.

    For the most part if a job can be done hybrid, it can and should be done fully remote. Even if there’s a bit more friction or more logistics to work out to make the job remote, it should be remote, because people’s lives matter more than anything those companies can possibly get out of burning us up.
