The « meat wave » myth came from nazis in ww2. It doesn’t reflect reality.

What left are you talking about

Old colonialism is still colonialism

This is how a lot of statistical data. The correlation coefficient is low, but it’s still correlation (but maybe not causation)

realest

yeah its just a community to discuss the site or other communities

you gotta

just came back from a protest with my org and it doesnt feel that way (thousands showed up)

Some people find work in HR

the most ‘career’ type jobs for humanities are in academia, which is its own type of hell. a lot of people also go into libraries or social work, but that doesnt really compare to CS in terms of pay

careers are in those fields that would be comparable in terms of pay/growth to software engineering

Yeah there are none. Especially if you compare entry level jobs. Maybe look into software engineering in places that are more socially aligned? Lots of NGOs and stuff like that always need IT people

yeah i kind of oversimplified the story. the finance sector used its leverage at the time to force governments to pay out their debts. of course a more pro-worker government could choose not to do that, but in a bourgeois dictatorship the state and banks work in tandem more or less.

yeah its basically that. in brief: government intervenes in the economy to do welfare and to take an economy out of a crisis (which Keynes considers to be both periods of high unemployment but also when GDP growth is too high). it was the dominant form of economic theory in the west until stagflation (which is when unemployment and recession are so bad that even the government cant fix it with keynesian mechanisms) and oil crises hit in the 1970s-80s, so governments had to sell national monopolies and defund all their social programs to stay afloat, which is where neoliberalism comes from.

its literally how unions work
