@thomasfuchs The strategy of breaking complex problems into small pieces that can be solved falls apart if you cannot acknowledge an unsolvable problem/contradiction. In that situation, the tendency is to abstract away the contradiction.
In a liberal society, many conflicting views can be (and should be tolerated). The one view that cannot be tolerated is intolerance. This is a contradiction.
Your software engineer, instead of acknowledging the contradiction, has chosen to abstract it away.
@v This was referring to literal Nazi shit that was perpetuated by Trump (“immigrants are poisoning the nation’s blood”); it’s not hyperbole and is Nazi without the quotation marks.
@thomasfuchs I think using the word "nazi" is kind of counterproductive now a days. Probably more effective to call out their specific behavior and what's wrong with it
@craftycat There’s probably many people there locked into the jobs for either healthcare or visa requirements; combined with a tough IT job market. Unfortunate reality for many.
@thomasfuchs I think you have to be a self centered douchebag to want to work at Google/Meta/etc. I see it as a red flag rather than a success when someone has it on their CV.
