CEOs are narcissistic unempathic mentally deficient pieces of filth. Exactly what capitalism rewards the most. Those willing to exploit others and the planet the most.

They have the ideology of rapists. Of course no one asked for it. Your consent was never a consideration. But don't yell at the billionaire, you terrorists are hurting their property and the bottom line, boohoo, they're the victim. Literal DARVO.

Most extremely wealthy people seem to be higher in measures of narcissistic traits, self-entitlement, and egocentrism.

Literally what capitalism rewards the most as they're the most willing to exploit.

some are still hoping to find jobs elsewhere at the WMF

American translation: what happens here is you're officially laid off. You then have to find an open position within the company and apply for it just like anyone else would. In theory, you're supposed to have an easier time and the company will say they'll help you. In theory. You still don't have a job though and none of that is a guarantee. Most of us have sent out 2,000+ applications and get rejected regularly even from within our own companies. This can also succeed in firing you for a higher salary and hiring you back for less because that's all there is. Or as we've seen, switching you from a full time position to a contract one, which does not require the employer to provide you with benefits like healthcare.

That paragraph I don't understand. Why is union busting the only explanation?

Similar to what may have occurred at Rockstar games, to form a union we need to reach a certain percentage of employees to sign on and form it. If that number was being approached (all of this is normally done outside the company and in secret which makes it all the harder to organize) then, if suddenly 100 employees were laid off and don't technically work at the company anymore, then they can't sign on to form the union anymore. Especially if they're able to lay off the leaders and organizers of the burgeoning union, this is incredibly damaging to organization efforts. So the paragraph is saying that an actual re-org doesn't make sense, but it makes sense if the layoffs were attempting to remove individuals to prevent the official formation of the union. Which, while the company might say they'll help you find a role within the company, if they suspect they were part of the union, itçs relatively easy to blacklist them.

the union was apparently formed exactly 90 days prior to the layoff announcement; under california state law (where they are located) “a termination within 90 days of protected union activity creates a rebuttable presumption that the termination was illegal retaliation”

Another reason it feels likely that the goal was preventing the union rather than a reorg. And while potentially true, it would have to be argued in court. And here in America, we don't have public civil defenders to automatically be assigned if someone doesn't have one or anything (ThAt WoUlD bE sOcIaLiSm!), so the "wrongful termination" suit would need lawyers, which are very expensive. And people without jobs receiving severance typically don't have lots of money to pay lawyers, which I'm sure a corporation with lawyers on retainer, especially union busting ones, are aware of this.

Hope that helps explain our capitalist shithole a bit better.

We also have the right to vote, but Trump wants to restrict that too. So...yes, it's entirely possible in the US. No one has the political will so far to do it. Gun lobbies are too strong and money is above human life, especially our children's.

Meanwhile, don't investigate any of those epstein fbi tipsters of course.

I love the irony that they do this but hide all of their info and want privacy, calling the police on anyone that comes close and claiming they're armed lunatics. Classic police collusion, trust the CEO over normal people. Always protect capital. Same methodology as the Bricks and Minifigs drama.

Wouldn't lose money if they weren't stupid. How did all of us peasant folk see what was coming, but the savvy investors couldn't?

But they'd never admit that we're intelligent. That would ruin their savvy investor persona. Instead, we're just too woke or have Musk Derangement Syndrome.

Severe doubt. Getting to decide what a "minor" accident is and exclude it...yeah, uh huh

Sorry Elon, we're still going to take all your ill gotten gains and prosecute the fuck out of you and your billionaire bitches if I can do anything about it

You should be thankful that's the moderate position.

Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity at this point.

Liberals believe Trump is the problem so they want to change the president.

Leftists believe America is the problem and want to change America.

Should be an Amazon package cause they abuse USPS as a service cause Fedex, UPS, etc aint delivering up there or on tops of mountains. USPS will though. But it's not "profitable." Because it's a service not a business dipshits.

Turkey is actually a great example for my point, not yours. Erdogan has used nominally democratic supermajority mechanisms to strip Kurdish politicians of immunity, remove elected Kurdish mayors, imprison journalists covering Kurdish issues, and consolidate executive power to the point where the democratic form is a shell. If that's your model of ethnic cleansing without dictatorship, it's nothing but democracy in name.

The supermajority argument also has a structural flaw. It assumes the minority being cleansed retains voting power throughout the process. But the entire mechanism of the policy is to remove them before they can vote against it. Strip citizenship, remove from voter rolls, criminalize political organizing. A supermajority that votes to disenfranchise a minority and then prevents them voting on the disenfranchisement isn't a functioning democracy but is already on the fall to authoritarianism.

And you don't even need a majority to capture the apparatus. The Nazis never won a majority. Neither did Trump in 2016 or 2024 measured against eligible voters. Around 30% of actual eligible voters in both cases was sufficient to claim power through a combination of voter suppression, institutional manipulation, minority rule mechanisms like the electoral college, and strategic exploitation of democratic procedural norms that weren't designed to survive bad faith actors. The democratic form provided legitimacy cover while it was dismantled from within.

Ethnic cleansing doesn't require a dictatorship as a precondition. Nor do the destruction of institutions, nor does the use of religious idolatry to provide a pretense of legitimacy for war, death, and destruction. They produce one as an outcome. Fascism is an ideological process, not a label applied once a checklist is met.

And how do you enforce ethnic cleansing? Cause I hate to tell you, but it's not democratically. Authoritarians simply use democratic methods to shroud legitimacy while ballot spoiling, gerrymandering, or any number of countless methods to undermine said democracy.

If you can't understand that tearing up citizenship, thereby removing the ability for constituents to vote, is inherently authoritarian, I can't help you.

Since there are always people who, purposely or not, misrepresent what's going on here and I've hashed it out in other threads I'll paste it here as well as some links to share alternatives. Like, how do I see upvotes on a comment saying it's a marxist far left party? The National Socialists also promised homes and dental and everything good for the Aryan race once they ethnically cleansed the rest. They certainly weren't any kind of left wing.

Sorry for the wall of text, copying and pasting from some of my other comments, I'll bold the main points to create the throughline:

What, by definition, constitutes fascism?

Merriam Webster

often Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation. —Jason Stanley

Just to make sure we're not looking at a singular definition, let's look at Wikipedia too

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[3][4] Opposed to communism, democracy, liberalism, pluralism, and socialism,[5][6] fascism is at the far-right of the traditional left–right spectrum.[1][6][7]

And now, let's look at what the Örebro party's own stated platform, which received 72% of its funding from the Mullvad founder, which also amounted to 27 times their total funding in 2024, and has directly led to them stating that with this funding they can field candidates whereby they couldn't previously:

Some of its key issues include strong secularism, a 30-hour workweek with retained pay, lowered wages for politicians, ending taxes on energy and fuel, ending taxpayer funding of what it sees as wasteful sculptures, monuments and art, large-scale remigration, expanded social housing, a stricter assimilation policy, and free dental care.[3][4]

https//wwwfriatider.se/markus-allard-om-andra-generationens-invandrare-de-ska-ocksa-ut

Örebro Party leader Markus Allard goes to the election on expulsions. He opens to withdraw citizenship and also expel second generation of immigrants – even if they were born in Sweden. "I'm prepared to cross corpses," he said.

One suggestion that he has is that citizenship and permanent residence permits can be torn up – with reference to "Sweden is the country of Swedes".

In a section of Yoshi's Podcast, Allard develops his view on expulsions and explains that he prepared to "go over corpses" to bring home unwanted immigrants. The host notes that there will be no beautiful sight when, for example, immigrant mothers who have been on maternity leave for 15 years are to be deported together with their children. "It's not going to be pretty to send these people home," he said. Markus Allard agrees, but says: I think you can handle that optics. Even the children will need to be deported, he explains.

He further explains that many of the problems relate to second-generation immigrants. They are going out too. Even if they were born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedes. They have not become Swedes. It says Sweden in the passport, but they have not been interested in becoming part of Sweden. There's a difference. It's a qualitative difference," Allard said

And what's remigration?

Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the ethnic cleansing [1] via mass deportation of non-white minority populations, especially immigrants and sometimes including native-born citizens, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3]

So fascism is about racial and national purity and hierarchy, as we defined, and the Orebro party supports remigration, which is a concept of forcing immigrants out of countries to preserve the purity of "culture" and the race of the nation.

"Sweden is for the Swedes"

"Israel is for Israelis"

"America is for Americans"

"Germany is for the Germans"

I'm sorry, are they scared there might be accountability?

Have you tried not dismantling the constitution, repealing human rights, denying people's existence, bringing back Jim Crow, and protecting criminals?

Try doing your job and maybe corruption won't catch up to you.

If they read the Declaration they should know that it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish a tyrannical government. Don't fucking cry when people want to hold your tyranny to account.

Wall-E and others are capitalist propaganda.

Sure, they say the right things, and then you feel inspired, like you actually did something, and then you go out and buy the billions in plastic merch anyway.

Saw Toy Story 5 recently. Tech is the "bad guy." Unless, of course, you use it responsibly. So don't worry about the data centers powering AI om the tablets.

Ghost guns cannot be made entirely from consumer grade 3d printable parts, they require machined components such as firing pins and barrels so that the gun would fire reliably.

If this was about safety, why not police the purchase of said components?

Because it's not about safety. It's about making sure that you have less control. And especially so you can't create or repair the things you own. Because that would be harmful to the capitalists in charge.

Why do you think cars have gotten more and more complex over time and you're not allowed to repair them?
