I think it's really important to understand that history won't judge shit. "History's judgment" did not defeat the Nazis, we had to roll tanks into Berlin

Counterpoint: it's totally valid to not want to work as much as society tells us we have to, admirable even
It's therefore impossible to abuse sick leave for mental health days
The onus is on you to justify why we need to work as much as you're claiming, not on us to justify why not

Everyone saying “this is how the mafia works!!” is wrong. The mob actually takes care of problems for you as part of their protection rackets because they have a reputation to maintain.
Small business owners in Minneapolis say the city forced them to hire off-duty MPD officers for security gigs. Some were led to believe MPD wouldn't respond to their calls if they refused. The officers often insisted on cash payment.

there's if not a causal then at least a direct relationship here which is that our society concretely rewards shamelessness

there's a really simple word for this it's "demoted"
Kim Ng, the first ever female General Manager in MLB, after leading her organization to sudden, unexpected success just three years into her job, got demoted... so she quit
would be pretty simple and helpful if the press would report it as such!

Kim Ng, the first female GM in US pro sports, just quit because after leading the marlins to the playoffs against all odds, ownership wanted to bring in someone to oversee her. (According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan who is rock solid).
I’m so exhausted and enraged.

Telling that the go-to method for Zionists to win the war of ideas is intimidation, retaliation, threats, and libel. These are the methods of authoritarians seeking to make society less democratic--much like Israel itself, in fact.

I used to believe the "Israel Palestine conflict" was too complicated, based in religion, and something I should avoid talking about.

I'm becoming such a tedious Marxist but of course you're going to see supervillains rather than structure everywhere if actual class politics are out of range to your left.
A text from some random right-winger does not mean Elon Musk had a master plan to spend $44 billion—a purchase he went to court to AVOID making—to create The Fascism Nexus, I'm sorry! Also, ruining the site so bad that it's less popular than the Jersey Mike's app speaks poorly of said "plan" anyway!

Liberalism is what happens when self-help literature takes political form. Improving society, but starting with the individual; improving the individual, but starting with the mind; improving the mind, but starting with values.
It is secularized Puritanism, via the self-improvement industry.

A lot of people want *babies* and maybe sweet little 5-year olds. They don't want to parent maturing people.
Usually my advice about having kids is, "if you want to have kids, have them."
But now I'd like to add: "if you think you can preserve your kid's innocence by denying them any information about sex until they're 18, don't have kids. You are unfit to be a parent."
