    Yeah, I can see that. I sometimes think people don’t have a sufficient imagination when it comes to what the cost could be, or they don’t think some of the horrible stuff could be possible. So I was giving some push back.

    I think we need to think about these things because I think we are rapidly heading to a darker place.

    I don’t think we can rely on there being a large amount of people like you to take all the hits. I think we need to find a way to share the work amongst everyone to get to a better place. So I think having the expectation that everyone works against their most deeply held interests like family is one that will make us weaker as a whole.

    I feel great right now. But I am concerned I may have to make a choice between providing for my family or making excellent software for lockheed martin at some time in the future. My price is my family’s well being and that isn’t really a secret.

    Hmm, I haven’t found any historical examples of specific threats against families. I am a bit surprised, if they are willing to kill workers, why not also threaten their families?

    Also my statement was corpos in general. So it was a systemic argument.















  • I agree with that. I never disagreed with the meme.

    It has never been my position that voting for the lesser evil will solve all of our problems or bring about a progressive government.

    I have only ever argued that voting for the lesser evil will give the people who are trying to organize (us) a better environment for doing so. Voting for the lesser evil helps with the organization. It’s weird to me that people are against voting for the lesser evil. I don’t get it, I hope someone can explain it to me.

    Can you please stop assuming what positions I have?
