my boss said he doesn't personally post here but some others might. and my boss thinks it's cool that I'm a leftist, he's one too, apparently, and that a bunch of our coworkers are leftists. some of them might post here?? it's a finance firm -- the last place I'd expect this. how the fuck do they have a positive opinion of this place??

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME IF YOU POST HERE AND WHAT YOUR @ IS. THIS IS SO UNFAIR LEAVING ME ON THE HOOK LIKE THIS. DON'T MAKE ME POST PPB TO THE WORK SLACK AND SEE WHO LAUGHS.

(I use tree style tabs so they can read my tabs when I share my screen -- I didn't hide this place because who the fuck has heard of hexbear)

      When something pops off in a city like NYC though there are enough people active that aren't even in orgs that they can make the police retreat, I have some hope for the future, a lot of young people got their first taste of a sort of action in 2020 and many are still down for the cause. The most serious revolutionaries aren't going to talk about it much.

              Hmm, I may have personal bias there but I don't think that earning a high salary excludes someone from having empathy for working people's struggle.

                  I don't necessarily disagree. I just think the thought process isn't good. Good people come from all places and we shouldn't restrict people from leadership positions based on income or wealth. Restrict them if they act in a way that limits the movement.
