i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

Imagine if we didn't have "Like" buttons, but instead, we had "There's a good boy" buttons. Would you rather have 110 Likes or one voice resonating so deeply in your Self that you feel, even if only momentarily, alive
