"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

He's a few weeks from straight up dropping the N word at a press conference.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Still sitting at around $213 out of $1500. Anything helps
I'm so grateful to everyone who helped me meet my goal to help me get settled. Unfortunately, I just found out that I don't get paid until well after my rent is due. So that's 5 weeks where I will not be making money, with rent due at the end of that.
I don't know what to do. Anything helps.

White supremacist dog whistle of a reading list containing accelerationism and dark enlightenment founder Nick Land
Hmm... I wonder. If your founder is known to say nazi shit, is in a reading list for nazi shitheads, and goes to nazi symposiums,
Maybe accelerationism is a nazi ideology?

Update on Bari Weiss University
If I worked for any reputable organisation, I'd flag the use of '88' in any messaging, since it's an infamous neo-Nazi bullhorn, especially if your first reading list for 'Origins of 21st Century Right-Wing Thought' (w/ selections from Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin?)

Why have I tweeted a couple threads about the lack of professionalism and consequences recently? I think its important for game devs to see how being assholes, and being snarky is handled in a much older, much more established industry where it is contract based careers protected by unions & guilds

Then all you need to do is strike once and crush them.
And they will never hurt anyone else again.
They will never think they are better than anyone else again.
Because they know what happens when someone fights back. When someone says "No. fuck you."
Because last time it blew up their lives.

It took that producer over half a decade till they found actual stable work again.
I asked my dad about it. About this person getting their dues.
He said the key was not to scream. Not worry. Not to twist yourself up in a rage looking for justice.
You just need to wait for you to be more important.

So my father simply said my value or theirs.
They picked his value.
And that producer was fired.

This producer did not.
But they certainly thought they did. They thought they were the most important person in the room and wrote checks they couldn't carry.
People who think they're valuable, often arent. And all it takes is pissing one person off for the world to show you that you're expendable.

You see there was one difference between this producer and father. My father was valuable. He took a multimillion dollar tv series and pushed the visual language as far as the budget allowed. The viewership skyrocketed and the franchise started approaching the billion dollar mark.

You can keep them on, but so long as you do, I will not attend voice recordings if they are there. I will not attend meetings if they are there.
