hard to believe that all those “work from home is killing businesses” op-eds by guys who own a shitload of commercial real estate that’s rapidly losing value or middle management assholes who hate being home with their wives and children were wrong!!!!
Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful tech companies — Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent, according to a case study published last week.
Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds
In the months following return-to-office mandates, an increased number of senior employees departed Apple, Microsoft and SpaceX, often to work for competitors.

There are absolutely no terrifying implications in fascists saying that a subset of society they don't like should be forcibly sterilized.
We TOTALLY don't have historical precedent that could make this a terrifying statement in the present times

Businesses putting signs in their windows calling for the sterilization of their political opponents. Totally normal and not fascistic behavior.

As always: with fascists, don’t say “they can’t enforce that.” Think of what they would need to do in order to enforce it. That’s what they intend to do.

There's no such thing as "White culture"
I may be white, but pretending I have the same kind of culture as a norwegian is absolutely ridiculous.
The ONLY context in which "white culture" exists and makes sense is White Supremacy.

If fascists attempt to use violence to destroy both democracy and the rule of law, it should be treated as an opportunity to deal with them swiftly, decisively, harshly, and completely out in the open. There's no compromise or moderation to be had.
"if trump is taken off the ballot his supporters will respond with violence" is literally saying the law is whatever fascists want it to be because you're afraid of them.
