I’ll be damned, I’ve been reading about the tendrils of this scheme for decades. What’s the skinny on its main organizers, are they explicitly identified as members of any particular named groups in a more specific than general way?

Same, that shit was hilarious (pun intended).

1972 biz roundtable plot
I’d appreciate some illumination on this point, having never heard anything about any specific business reorganization in '72? America specifically, or was there some kind of global shift that I’m not recalling?

Glad to hear that you made it out the other side as well, I’m worried about contemporaries stuck eating shit, or worse living back at home with Boomer parents eating shit.

Solid suggestion, I got four downvotes with the picture of the gigantic log, and 25 upvotes after editing lol

Have you heard the expression ‘pulling the ladder up after themselves’ in relation to Booomers, and the housing/labour market?

Lived experience and/or delusion. Many can’t seem to absorb that the labour market didn’t stop changing in 19-fucking-73, and it shows.
I couldn’t believe how dogshit so much of their advice was the last time I was searching for new work, and how irate they were that I wouldn’t take it - because it was useless and/or hazardous to my financial stability in the situation at hand. That coffee drinks-avocado toast shit seemed like satire at first, but some of them actually believe it, and had I been spineless/stupid enough to allow them to push me into the courses of action they were insisting on I think that it might have killed me.

Needs absolute anonymity like the internet circa 2000. Remember ratemypoo.com?

Well said. Much of the overzealous action by LEOs seen since the ICE immigration operation kicked off is notably similar to that seen during the Civil Rights era in the U.S. They can run people down in the street, club the everloving shit out of them, break their wrists and shoulders during arrest, and kick their feet up at home later that night without a thought of concern about catching charges.
The manner in which demonstrators have been engaged strikes a similar chord to that same mid-century era, where hippies/beatniks/peaceniks could be fucked up and railroaded any number of ways without a hint of worry about blowback (unless their parents were loaded, of course). Nothing meaningful will happen to make them scale back their abuses, legal or otherwise, maybe not even once Democrats are back in office.

- Comment on they all start out the same but in a month they figure it out 4 weeks ago:
Watching in realtime, over the years, friends, acquaintances and strangers learn the exact same lesson. Retail is shit, its management is shit, the corporations overseeing the operations and staffing are shit, the work culture is shit, and nearly everyone working there is seeking an exit plan to better work without the non-stop bullshit, lies, and in-fighting/sabotage.
The span of time in which new fires eventually realize that they’re being denied 40 hrs./week as a strategy to withhold benefits afforded to persons working what’s normally ostensibly legally considered full-time. Imagine having a middle-manager cut 1 hour from your schedule right before the pay period where you would finally have qualified, then trying to play friendly as through they hadn’t kicked you in the back of the knees on behalf of the company’s bottom line.

Time, place, and status therein are what makes it. Were you a man or woman at the time? Who did you kiss in that time and place?

You’re right, yes, op point. I’m not getting lost in the stats per se, and nearly turned my reply into an essay addressing the information readily available, but it bears saying given the nature of the info in the Wiki edit. You’ll find no corpo booster here in my camp, the very purposeful abuse (Mod or otherwise) of some users/groups on social media has been readily observable even beyond the purges of Antifascist and leftist groups.
- Comment on The Wikipedia page for the fediverse describes a den of iniquity 5 weeks ago:
I’ve just seen your edit and the material added to the Fediverse entry on Wikipedia, your assertions seem well founded although I’m not tied into Wikipedia’s Mod community and the motivations of users therein. You’re definitely right that the Fediverse isn’t exactly a node of objectionable content, frankly I’ve seen none, although admittedly I haven’t plumbed the depths of every single instance. Their assertion should be noted though, that the Fediverse is wide open for abuse despite IMO not already being affected by the same volume as other platforms.
out of approximately 325,000 Fediverse posts analyzed over a two-day period, 112 were detected as instances of known child sexual abuse material (CSAM); 554 were detected as containing sexually explicit media alongside keywords associated with child sexual exploitation; 713 contained media alongside the top twenty CSAM-related hashtags on the Fediverse; and 1,217 contained text relating to distribution of CSAM or child grooming.
By their own numbers, the volume of CSAM was 0.03%, the volume of CSAM posted alongside keywords was 0.17%, the volume of CSAM posted with known associated hashtags was 0.22%, and 0.37% contained text related that kid of content. Less than ideal, you could say, given the nature of the content in question. The real crux of the matter seems to be whether or not it will increase, and whether or not Lemmy’s Mods have the capacity to moderate the content like other platforms IMO, but their claim that “toxic or abusive content being common in the Fediverse” is more than slightly overblown even in considering the material.

Reddit power Mod turning their attention to Wikipedia and abusing its TOS & users of that site as well now too?
