This should be unsurprising. They know the beta losers infesting the country will never fire on women and children, so have focused on making these their foot-soldiers. When they finally realize there are men who will still pull the trigger, it will be tragic.

This also is the most "in living color" example of why the "independent school districts" across the country funded by property tax (often resulting in more funding than the state itself) is to be avoided. In TX it's just a vortex of corruption, but when they smell the way the wind is blowing they will become revolutionaries too.

The teachers adopt all this so readily because they know instinctively they've been sold a bill of goods regarding their role in society, and naturally want to burn shit in response.

More than twice as many people died of fairly easily treatable tuberculosis in 2020 than of COVID

With the city barricaded, it took me forever to get to the airport. To protect politicians (from COVID and increasingly from irate citizens), large areas where they live have been completely closed off. Sick people cannot find a way to get to the hospital, although only those keen on dying should actually go there.

India has 0.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, a fraction of what is required โ€” only 5% of hospital beds are in ICUs. Even before COVID hit, Indian hospitals were overflowing with patients. They occupied every single bed, often with more than one person in every bed, and the space in corridors and between the gate and the buildings. I have never seen this any other way.

The Indian medical system is one big orgy of doctors exchanging commissions for cross-referring to each other and getting laboratory tests done, making it the most corrupt sector of Indian society, worse than the government itself. Organ harvesting is not unknown. You go to an Indian hospital to die โ€” and absolutely every Indian has stories to tell about this.

Lacking a functioning legal system, killer hospitals and doctors face no consequences. Today, given the new rules, COVID patients are removed from the sight of their families, ensuring that apathetic medical workers can do whatever they want.
As expected.

For employees looking elsewhere, Personio found that the most influential factors were a lack of career progression opportunities (29%) and a perceived lack of appreciation for the work they do (29%). This was followed by poor management (25%), a pay freeze or cut (23%), and boredom with their job (23%).

The research also identified a disconnect between what employers felt would cause staff to quit and the reality. In particular, employers were found to "drastically underestimate" the impact of a toxic workplace culture on employees' decisions to leave, with almost twice as many employees (21%) citing this as a significant push factor than HR leaders (12%).
Inflation and a demand to return to the office will be the last straw for many. Why would anyone want to keep working for a place with a 100% high school cancer club culture?

Taibbi knocks it out of the park on corporate CULTure ๐Ÿ”—

After training generations of Americans to forego personal lives and work their brains to mush in service of bigger profits, corporate leaders are waking up to find their companies staffed by people so psychologically dependent upon validation from work that theyโ€™re a net minus from a production standpoint, forcing bosses to beg them to shut up, go home, and get lives.
His account of his own story is spot on too:
When I was caught up in my own cancelation episode, I was devastated, above all to see the effect it had on my family. Unlike Garcia-Martinez, I had past writings genuinely worth being embarrassed by, and I felt that it was important, morally and for my own mental health, to apologize in public. I didnโ€™t fight for my career and reputation, and threw myself on the mercy of the court of public opinion.

I now know this is a mistake. The people who launch campaigns like this donโ€™t believe in concepts like redemption or growth. An apology is just another thing theyโ€™d like to get, like the removal of competition for advancement. These people arenโ€™t idealists. Theyโ€™re just ordinary greedy Americans trying to get ahead, using the tactics available to them, and itโ€™s time to stop thinking of stories like this through any other lens.
Apologies are always seen as weakness, and should never be done. If they are demanded, you should leave wherever you are at, because the demander is a moron.

And feminism. It's somewhat sad to see the church of my youth go down this road, but given it's sorta the oversoul of the Anglo, I don't consider this to be particularly surprising.
It rejects, for example the central belief of Christianity that the death of Jesus was divinely ordained for the forgiveness of the sins of humanity: the atonement. Reddieโ€™s Core Text states that โ€œJesus died because of our sins and not for themโ€ as a โ€œsubversive agitatorโ€, a victim of โ€œimperial greed and colonial corruptionโ€. His life was a โ€œstruggle for liberation of all oppressed peoplesโ€.
Jesus was not rebel against the law, but it's fulfillment. Those following this "rebel" Jesus should realize they're actually following the original rebel.

I guess I'm no longer Anglo. The only option left to those of us not on board is culturally convert to something else or to go old-school Saxon and call up Odin.

And in good form after the passing of his wife. He makes a powerful case that "I just want to grill" is the reason monarchy happens. We see this at every level of the economy (it's why full-time employment is a thing), and the idea of an ancap future is essentially this sort of corporate feudalism fully embraced. This is the core dispute with the syndicalists, who insist not having worker ownership simply builds the oligarchy that installs oppression. This seems to build a strong systemic case against dilution of ownership in a firm, much like with the old monarchies rejection of gavelkind in favor of winner-take-all inheritance.
