Incivility and the disrespect of cultural norms can lead to extremist leftwing behavior. If - for example - unprovoked one was to be called gauche by a potentially dangerous individual what would one do in response? I believe...

The substack post goes on for another 8,000 words. Matty spends a full 1,200 carefully explaining how "holding facilities" could be used in extreme circumstances. It's clear to anybody with functioning brain he was talking about camps. He insists that is not the case.
The ego on this fucking guy...
Nobody's going to recognize you or your company Matt
A seven year-old cries out in pure joy "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! It's Matty and he's wearing his cappy!" Or so Yglesias dreams. He smiles and dreams on "You better subscribe and soon, mommy! Or I will grow up rudderless and become a hooligan."
Right? The dude is the most average looking, dead behind the eyes, middle aged dad. Meanwhile, he’s out here acting like he’s jay-z wearing Rocawear in 2001.
My "stupid bitch" hat has a lot of people asking questions that are already answered by my hat.
SB is Chinese internet slang for 傻逼, which literally translates as "dumb c*nt".
It's totally fine, Matty! You're mostly known for your insightful writing and soothing voice, rather than your ravishing looks. It's unlikely that you or your exquisite blog will be recognized at the trampoline park. That is a shame, however, because more people should know who you are. Perhaps a billion people in the USA alone, who knows!
Matthew Yglesias. ~10 years ago he wrote an article praising sweatshops. He's a vile cog in the neolib justification toolkit.
Different Places Have Different Safety Rules and That’s OK
A genius who thinks the world would be improved if only there were one billion americans.
The only thing that would follow one billion Americans is zero Americans, on account of the ocean being turned into boiling acid in like 3 years.
Some people just radiate cringe. I don't know how else to explain it.
In many cases it would be embarassing with all the past logos crossed out, especially if the fraud history was included.
How do you feel about stealing from small businesses? I actually like to target those with the most enthusiastic owners.
I don't think we can generalise all small businesses.
There is this vegan groceries close to my place, the only people working there are the owners, a husband and wife. They don't exploit anyone and don't intend too, and they give half of what they earn to animal right associations.
Obviously don't steal from those.
If on the other hand you know of a small business that treats their workers like crap, makes them work crazy non paid overtime hours, then go wild and fill your bag.
Depends on who they are and their general reputation. Usually family owned businesses tend to be more exploitative since they favor their family employees (source: was offered a managerial position as a cousin's restaurant despite never working in a restaurant, but they wanted me to get paid under the table lol). I'm not going to steal from broke dude selling sandwiches from his food truck or at the corner shop because the community probably likes him and they'll all beat my ass for being a nuisance. If it's some white hipster moving in and opening up a shitty cafe and forcing me to buy things just to sit and do my work, I will likely steal from him.
The pro is that they're usually barely richer than me and serve the community, somewhat. But that closeness is also a con because it may prevent people from criticizing the business. Corporate expansions are faceless, heartless, etc. which means people have no problem throwing rightful anger and hatred towards them, but more often than not it also becomes apathy and hatred towards the workers who are also part of the community (and otherwise be seen more sympathetically had it been a smaller business), and the large business doesn't really need to address anything since it can afford to wait it out. It's a matter of what poison to choose.
Do your research and find out if the owners are terrible people? Never been to a town hall but idk see what they support, how they vote (again no idea but there should be some way to get an idea of how they are politically, financially, or socially there). Look for how they use their moneyFind out ties they might have that are compromising. Plus there's insurance I think for stolen items and or you should've already taken shrink into account for your business expenses. So. Small businesses while I personally won't, are ok to be stolen from, in whatever videogame of your choosing. I suppose just be mindful of who they are and what networks they might have that you're not aware of and what consequences that could arise from taking from them.
i only associate with my companies when they're handing me a check or depositing directly in my bank account. Otherwise I don't give a shit. Self promotion is whatever, but this guy deserve to get his ass kicked for reasons beyond his merchandising
Since gauche means “left” I’m pretty sure he’d have to got though a more radical change to be that way
I can't fathom the type of person who would recognize both Matt Yglesias and his blog's logo, in public.
Doing so in some states is a misdemeanor if not a felony.
