That's awful. I can't believe they did this...
They let them out before they welded the door shut. smh
Sounds like a great guy:
Unirule is the brainchild of Mao Yushi, a respected 90-year-old economist who was among the first scholars to spread free-market ideas such as deregulation and privatization within China.
In addition, Unirule has, in recent years, built up various types of cooperative relationships with many international private institutions, such as the Center for International Private Enterprises (CIPE), the Ford Foundation, Alton Jones Foundation, US-China Chamber of Commerce, International Institute of Economics (IIE), and others, as well as with international public institutions, such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Asian Development Bank, and African Development Bank. Unirule also maintains relationships with many foreign embassies in Beijing, such as embassies from America, Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, and Singapore.

They targeted economists.
Economists.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional economy all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such pseudoscientific nirvana that they can literally play these markets blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many keyboards have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our powerpoints? Economists aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the economy our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Economists are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
the only way to make that copypasta cringier; give it to the one group who might be able to be worse than gamers.
hardest, most mentally demanding tasks
you mean mumbling about supply and demand curves while trying to look like your profession isnt in theology?
And when they came for the neoliberals trying to privatize the economy...
It fuckin' whipped ass.
