    I fully agree with the approach but I would dump the homosexual relationship decriminalization because the decriminalization was done by abolishing old constitution in favour of Bolshevik one so it was more of an unintentional move rather than a deliberate one

    Political twitch streamers were a mistake. Fanbase is rabid, racist, bigoted etc, etc.

    But the thing that baffles me the most is an absolute refusal to read a book, literally any book, but especially a history book both by fans and by streaming personalities themselves. Treating streamers as a substitution for actual learning makes me legit depressed. How can one trust people that literally confessed that they know little to nothing on the topic of socialism? It's just beyond me, I literally can't comprehend what goes inside their heads

    The boss of Basecamp, Jason Fried, tells his employees that they are not allowing them to talk about politics at work anymore. In addition, they are abolishing multiple committees on diversity and inclusion.

    When your boss forbids you to talk about politics, what does that truly mean? You are not allowed to use your pronouns? Because pronouns are pretty political in the american political environment. Can't say to your coworker that your are going to BLM rally? Can't talk about the weather because climate change is political? That you want to unionize?

    The thing is, that nobody knows what tech-brained CEO might think is political and what is not, thus an employee constantly has to walk on eggshells because who knows what he will deem an offense that one can be fired for.

    You just have to motivate yourself by all of the dunks on political scientists. Here's a cool excerpt from Ch. 15 of Capital, emphasis mine:

    Mr Ashworth, an English cotton magnate, imparted the following lesson to Professor Nassau W. Senior: 'When a labourer lays down his spade, he renders useless, for that period, a capital worth eighteen-pence. When one of our people leaves the mill, he renders useless a capital that has cost £100,000'. Just imagine that! Making "useless", if only for a single moment, a piece of capital that has cost £100,000! It is in truth monstrous that a single one of our people should ever leave the factory!

    He constantly uses dunks like this to justify his point and I love it.
