I get that it's a big deal, or at least people seem to think so, but what's it mean? In really simple person terms

    The tweet saying there are "no principles here at all" is, of course, a :LIB: take. Others have described the shift in favor of class interests.

    I'll add a parallel analogy that might give context as to the larger moves happening here.

    When working at a company if you take $100 from the register they can call the cops who will come and arrest you and take you into jail.

    If the company directs its HR department to knock $100 off your paycheck, you can't call the cops. They will laugh at you. You will need to file an employment claim and go through an entire administrative process. There's no chance anyone at the company ever sees the inside of a jail cell. At worst they pay a fine or penalty.

    They're just commodifying Justice
