there’s a metaphor here for social structures performing violence at a distance and that abstraction leading to perceived safety of the individual within that framework leading to complacency but im tired

FUCK i knew there was something more important i was forgetting!

can i sit in your seat row pls

look at mr fancy pants over here who gets let in charge of the plane. they won’t even let me smoke a j with the pilots on mine. 😒

In response, YES Madam stated on LinkedIn, apologising for any distress caused by the campaign. The company stated that it “would never take such a step” and that the action was intended to draw attention to the critical issue of workplace stress. source

I don’t even know what you were citing, but now that the news is out let this be a lesson to not just take everything in the news for granted. All the slop outlets were just reading the same screenshot in this post verbatim and did no original reporting.

@enbyecho@lemmy.world you were correct. it’s nice to be vindicated but annoying that the internet will never stop falling for obvious bait like this.

you were downvoted but you were correct. vindication!

I offered a systemic solution to one element of a systemic problem and now you are getting angry at me that my single-faceted solution doesn’t cover every minute facet of social change. I am sorry that you cannot accept a single marginal suggestion without going into full on rage mode. Ending the conversation here.

in a crazy twist, both parents and conservative media exist. and what world do you live in? i see conservative media call for homophobia and homophobic violence all the fucking time.

by attacking the media structures and funding that manipulate them. (this is not a fix all solution. obviously. but it is taking action against the most materially funded arm of the propagation of conservative values. i hope it can be one of many tools leftists use to push for justice and dignity.)

i’ll do that. thanks for the recommendation.

id believe it if there was a single outlet doing original reporting :/ all of them are just reading verbatim the same screenshots we have here. some of them bother to put the word “allegedly” in.

this is likely satire/a publicity stunt by the way

edit: proof. trust your gut yall.

no thanks :) i wish you well

fair enough! sending love and well wishes stranger friend 🧡

The post was about “leftists”

You opened your sentence with “people who make blanket statements”

??? okay buddy 😆
