    I've had the misfortune of working with these "top tier" consultant types.

    Anyone who thinks they're smart and effective communicators is an idiot who would probably sign up for Amway and Scientology in the same week.

      Lowest common denominator: it's easier to convince some corporate chump to buy a buzzword-drenched "solution" than to assess a situation in its full complexity. So a McKinsey partner is an effective communicator in a purely marketized sense, where "these words sound good" >>> "these words are true." Fuck consulting.

      Edit: If capitalism's logic is about distorting qualities into quantities, then consultants are the evangelists of capital. McKinsey al paredón! :che-laugh:

      Yeah, anyone who's ever actually worked at the high levels of business/government where consultants are involved knows they're worthless 99% of the time. If you ever want to pay someone five figures to talk in circles and meaningless platitudes for 3 hours, they're your go-to though.

    It's not anti-police to be pro-racial justice

    In times like these we should be concerned not about how the government can fix our problems, but on how we can fix bread prices

    Even if that were true, in what world is that even approaching insightful?

    evangelicals literally do not give a shit about hypocrisy, they see democrats as mass baby killers, they are willing to do anything to stop that.

    Former presidential hopeful and living embodiment of the spirit of American imperial bureaucracy Pete Buttigieg could be heard today employing the Russian disinformation tactic that experts call "whataboutism" when asked why Kamala Harris no longer supports universal healthcare.
