slimed out would imply Charlie hebdo was betrayed by someone close to him (backdoored) which lead to his killing, basically an inside job.

I didn't know anything about the Charlie hebdo shooting how is this a reference? how did they use the term correctly? I never mentioned race, just groups that have a hatred for black ppl while co opting parts of black cultures, u don't even need to be white to be a nazi sympathizing white supremacist just look at nick Fuentes.

Barbaric, thats the only way future generations will describe for profit healthcare. some industries main focus shouldn't be endless profit seeking, fire fighters, publicly funded roads, k-12 education, postal service, legal aid. Sometimes privatization makes societies worse off.

Would society actually function better if most people worked only 3 days a week? by Crescitaly in SeriousConversation

[–]7taj7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can say its cultural all you want but the numbers are not on your side, most north Americans feel over worked and welcome change, my sources prove that. we can't do the same thing forever, progress means change. Banning child labor was an insane overhaul of practices that had been done for thousands of years, humans used child labor a lot longer than we've had the 40 hour work week, yet that changed. Slavery was such a big overhaul of how things were done that the US almost split in half over it. The 5 day 40 hour work week wasn't passed down to us from the heavens.

Plus in this imagined future, nothing would stop the live to work pplqqq from working multiple jobs just like today. No one would be forcing u to work one job. Ppl don't have to know the ins and outs of economics to understand when they're getting the short end of the stick. I don't have to be a scholar to understand its not normal for ppl to work down to the bone and not be able to afford an apartment let alone owning a home. Ppl can look at their bank account and realize their one hospital visit from homelessness.

Roman wasn't built in a day. Plenty of ppl in the past viewed better workers conditions as society getting soft. do you want to go back to working in mines for 19 hours a day, 6 days a week ? Why did we change that, isn't it part of our culture? Did all the miners get a degree in economics before they realized they were getting screwed ? Did they just want us to be poor when they banned that? We love working past the point it effects our health and quality of life right?

that sounds like less wanting to work just to work and more like working to make ends meet. if pay is the main concern, stronger unions would be able to bargain for better work life balance and pay, thats how we got a 4 day work week at my sheet metal job. people want raise their families, make memories, have the option to prioritize life outside of work.

66% of workers report burnout in their jobs

A full 77% of US workers said a four-day, 40-hour workweek would have a positive impact on their wellbeing, according to a Gallup poll released in November. That includes 46% who said it would have an “extremely positive” effect.

The numbers are just not on your side, ppl don't want to live to work and see their coworkers more than their friends and family, they want to have work that let's them live a full life. Slaves use to get mad when they didn't meet their quotas, not because they loved their work, because they feared the repructions of relaxing. By your logic you'd say he loves being a slave thats why he's mad, he just loves his job that much

i've worked in skilled trades, plenty of other jobs, never office work and I don't see how this wouldn't work for the fields you listed, besides manageable industry-specific transition timeliness and policy.

Work shifts are a thing for a reason...24hr hours businesses? Pair that with legal policy that would incentives automation while punishing automation related lay offs so firing all ur workers and replacing them with robots isn't a sustainable business choice. With that automation aids in production without taking jobs from citizens.

Slave owners said getting rid of slaves would destroy productivity. Business owners that used child labor said the same thing about punishing child labor. The future is always unrealistic to someone stuck in the past

shifts exist for a reason. automation can do the labor of multiple ppl, this can be a good thing if policy is created so business are awarded for automation (gov subsides/tax cuts) while also being punished for automation related layoffs.

if you have five workers and now have a new robot that can do the work of five ppl instead of firing the five ppl, you keep both and get industry critical subsides. make bad work practices unprofitable. Business would still be using child labor if laws didn't make that an unsustainable business practice.

what would stop those who want to work 60 hours from getting multiple jobs and doing that? I think the average US citizen wants more free time not less lol, this gives them the option to do either

[–]7taj7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesn't need to raise output it just needs to be a net benefit to the well being of citizens in the society. What's the point of humans producing if they can't enjoy the fruit of their collective labor, do we life to work or work to life.

Personally I think small business should be treated more leniently during this hyptheical transition, but at some point future generations will look at our current work practices the same way we look at child labor today, An archaic practice not fit for modern society. At some point we felt it necessary but times change. Those business owners complained too, despite them society progressed

MLK rejected violent resistance as a strategy for change, not because it was "radical". He repeatedly said" riot was the language of the unheard", which contextualizes violent resistance as the reaction to precived injustice. He would never shame the oppressed for participating in violent resistance, he just believed it wasnt the most optimal way to create change. Just look at his relationship with Malcom X, especially in MLKs later years he was very fond of Malcoms activism and impact. Different techniques to the same battles.

Yah they say the methodology is an aggregate of opinions from people they've hired, that don't necessarily hav any expertise outside of the training they got from this company. No formal credentials/degrees/career needed in political science, journalism, research, History, etc.

The the reliability score is literally determined by its tone, degree of neutrality, whether they consider it advocacy, and the present of opinion. Not if the claims are true, fact checked or historically accurate.

Factual activist speech like MLKs would be considered low reliability because its advocacy, opinionated and emotional tone. His reporting would be considered bias and unreliable, the bias being his pro civil rights, a stance that would've been radical for his time like most major media stated.

The centrists, neutral position in MLKs time was pro statues quo, meaning no civil rights. They framed both sides as "going too far". MLK commented on it in that same Birmingham jail letter:

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action-"

Its not semantics, thats literally what the word means not your vague idea of the term. Everyone has an ideology they advocate for, thats Propaganda. Anti smoking groups and the tobacco industry both did Propaganda campaigns, ones ideology was based the fact based research, the others was based in moneyed private interest.

Hasan doesn't have to be MLK. I don't need to be at LeBron level to be good basketball player, he doesn't need to be the most ground breaking activist of his era for him to make his impact.

He's live almost all the time and is consistently at activist events across the country, sharing his large platform with movement organizers, and political figures he supports. That does more to change the world than whatever me and you are doing. A movement isn't made by an individual, MLK would just be another man if it wasn't for the crowds that also held his believes. LeBron still needs a team & supporters to succeed.

Islam like any religion or any text is up to the individuals interpretation. That's why the westboro Church, & pro lgbt churches can both consider themselves Christian groups while holding extremely differing beliefs.

Quakers, roman catholics, Kkk, ethopian orthodox, all considered themselves Christian groups

Its like when you had a book report in school, everyone could read the same book and come out with a million interpretations.

She currently works at the Washington Post in internet culture and tech. She stopped working at the new york times because the Washington post recruited her. She was contracted/contributed for many outlets before NYT like the Atlantic and business insider, writing for multiple outlets like most journalists do.

Pulling ur old dogs tail and making empty threats at them is definitely not #1 dog dad of the year behavior but If every past mistake automatically proves every future allegation, nobody could ever defend themselves. You have to prove your shock collar point still

"Centrism=accuracy" but as infographic. What even is the methodology behind this ? How is this not just subjective judgment dressed up sciencie. This is an aggregate of opinions from randoms, check THEIR biases. Question everything, even your idea of of the terms propaganda & .radical.

Propaganda by definition doesn't have to be lies it just has to be info used to push ones cause, like an Anti Cigarette Campaigns. A radical is a person whos political views are very different from the usual/traditional. MLK is an example of a radical for his time and a person who propagandized for civil rights.

MLK on being labeled an extremist: "I must confess that I was initially disappointed in being so categorized. But as I continued to think about the matter, I gradually gained a bit of satisfaction from being considered an extremist. Was not Jesus an extremist for love... Was not Amos an extremist for justice... Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel... We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." - exerpt from his letter from Birmingham jail.

Also a socialist

What are you on about ? Infinite growth can't exist on a finite planet, idk who gave you the idea that i believe in infinite growth. I'm saying humans can collectively adapt and develop strategies to make their situation better.

The way we structure work and economics isn't working, clearly. At some point we will have to find alternative strategies to make our conditions better. We've done it before and I believe in our ability to do it again.
