  • really curious what type of person will fall for the bargain "what if we give you extra rights tied to your job, then take away your normal rights when you get sacked!" I imagine the most strident defenders won't be the ones covered under this; anyone concerned about the working class as a whole won't be impressed compared to the cuts from this government. I was gonna say maybe a few craven trade-unionists would get on board, but the only one quoted is a Labour peer and even he's not impressed.

    so I'm wondering who really digs hearing about it, the target audience. in the US, part of the pipeline to the right for young people has been a hollowed-out appreciation for the aesthetics of organizing, post-Bernie 2016. would play great with them. but I don't know any analogous target audiences in the UK?













  • See, some things aren't proper secrets, but when acknowledging them is made taboo, we must act as if they've been uncovered. We'll treat the ostensibly open and accessible science around linearly increasing Long COVID risk this way someday, when the taboo against acknowledging it degrades. More often than not, when the exposé revealing details of an open secret comes out like this, it's because someone involved feels the need to brag.






  • I can't understand how you'd need a citation for all of those. It seems some parts of your position rely on them happening, maybe on interpreting them differently, but are you really calling every single point there into question? I guess here's a handful of sources slopped out about it.
