Return to office mandates and AI.
I hope we see more RTO pushback at this level.
It is probably one of the biggest improvements across the board for workers in decades.
Some studies showed it to be around the equivalent of a 20% pay raise to quality of life

This is the way to do it.
The union is across the whole company.
This means leadership can't just fire a department, like we see with various QA groups being let go.
It's cross discipline, so true collective bargaining is possible, and 'solidarity' moves are feasible.

unironically, the political right hates men
The goal of the entire conservative project is to kill love and joy. All manosphere advice equates masculinity with enduring suffering and refusing to enjoy anything. Sorry for the cliche but 1984 hit the nail on the head: Their vision of the future really is a boot stomping on a human face forever.
this all being said — there's a reason that the incel organized government fears men who know love. for once in their lives this makes the pedobarons feel truly powerless. they know that they cannot exercise their power addiction rape fix in any way that could dominate love itself. they fear that.

The problem with being trans is that even allies know nothing about us. Because nobody wants to hear us talk, or read our literature, or let us report on ourselves. Our books are banned, our interviews shelved. Cis people write the entire narrative on us - allies and opponents.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The conservative/white supremacist drive for total social conformity to their ideals leads them to assume every group, if given the chance, would do the same. This also explains “the great replacement” conspiracy etc

They only care that it’s still detectable.
They’ll keep doing this until people either don’t notice or don’t complain enough for it to be a problem, then move forward with it.
That’s the whole purpose of manufactured consent. It’s “training”.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

Conservatives never want to engage on issues because their beliefs are atrocious and hateful. When you criticize them, you are "attacking their free speech." When you talk about your beliefs, you are "virtue signaling."
They just want you to shut up while they do whatever they want.
