@@TheNerdHerd1000 To that effect. He said, as he's said elsewhere before, that he's given up on electoral politics but holds out some hope for labor unions. He's excited about this round of strikes. I get his point, but TBH, if one were to make a systematic search for viable openings for revolution, labor unions would be the last place I would look. I mean, the AFL-CIO endorsed Biden. Beyond just the historically low participation rates. I'm just making the counter point that giving up on government is a pipe dream. That's kind of what the whole neoliberal sheep herding exercise is about, abandoning the premise of government altogether in favor of the institutions the oligarchs control directly. Which, sad to say, now includes the all the big union federations. Government, at least in theory, is open to all birth right citizens. I'm from Wisconsin. The Madison Uprising and all that, of 2011.

I guarantee that it wasn't engineers that wrecked a tractor at that plant. We are expected to know everything on the assembly line at finer detail than the folks on the line. We are also expected to fix it when they break it, no matter what time it is, while being salary and not getting paid for that time. At the least, in my experience, engineers are also taken advantage of. I also have a 1025R, and they aren't hard to operate. I'd imagine the managers and finance folks might have a difficult time with the functions of the plant though. We need to stop this narrative that only folks on the assembly line are getting played. The only folks who aren't getting played are the ones who own the capital. If an engineer owns any of the business, it isn't much and is just there to retire on.
Worked in a warehouse and none of our engineers could tie their own shoes, let alone run a squeeze or a walkie rider. Their skill set was in telling us how to do our jobs better, not in being able to do those jobs.
@@freakyzed8467 I'm not sure why you need engineers in a warehouse? Maybe that's the issue? You're missing the point here though, engineers don't own the means of production, so they should be just as critical to union efforts. Unless you just want a world without engineers?
@@X_TheHuntsman_X our engineers were there to do time studies and try and improve processes. I am fine with them being part of union efforts, but my point is they often don't know much about the actual work involved.
It seems to have been treated as medically superior during much of the twentieth century in the US and some other countries. Circumcision is also a tradition in various African tribes.

Absolutely! By the way the heroic "My final signoff" and "Jay Inslee can kiss my ass" Washington trooper who retired over his refusal on the vaccine mandate died three months after saying that.

Remember, one of the theses of this book is that individual differences in intelligence are mostly genetic. But DeBoer spends only a little time citing the studies that prove this is true. He (correctly) decides that most of his readers will object not on the scientific ground that they haven't seen enough studies, but on the moral ground that this seems to challenge the basic equality of humankind. He (correctly) points out that this is balderdash, that innate differences in intelligence don't imply differences in moral value, any more than innate differences in height or athletic ability or anything like that imply differences in moral value. His goal is not just to convince you about the science, but to convince you that you can believe the science and still be an okay person who respects everyone and wants them to be happy.
But I understand why some reviewers aren't convinced. This book can't stop tripping over itself when it tries to discuss these topics. DeBoer grants X, he grants X -> Y, then goes on ten-page rants about how absolutely loathsome and abominable anyone who believes Y is.
He could have written a chapter about race that reinforced this message. He could have reviewed studies about whether racial differences in intelligence are genetic or environmental, come to some conclusion or not, but emphasized that it doesn't matter, and even if it's 100% genetic it has no bearing at all on the need for racial equality and racial justice, that one race having a slightly higher IQ than another doesn't make them "superior" any more than Pygmies' genetic short stature makes them "inferior".
If you listen closely to the audio of the UN speech you can hear at the end Powell said "just kidding". So he's probably in heaven.
If you look closely you can see that he had his fingers crossed behind his back

This is the podcast where Matt became a bad boy.
That he didn't name any of his kids Semicolon is a crime worse than the Iraq War.
The funniest thing Matt said to start an episode
Curious what the world would've been like if Euronymous successfully defended himself against Varg.
48:57 one of the all-time most insane confessions I've ever heard.
When Matt gets owned by past participles, I stan.
Thanks for your service, Colin "Kangol" Powell
I don't have to feel bad about liking Burzum now that it's official Varg has some right takes
It was a bad idea to listen to the rod bit while working.
$4 gas sounds nice. We're at $5 and more at most places. There are lines at the place with $4.80 gas.
🎶and that's how we get hamburger 🎶
My Lai.. 💔
Matt thinks there is no politics within labor unions?
Okay.
Did he say that in this ep? I don't remember that

Is circumcision Judeo-Christian Values?
Judeo, not Christian :)
I am neither and still have my foreskin, so yeah it must be.

Too short an ep 😫😫😫😫 and it's fucking late c'mon man
Are you guys ever going to discuss what's going on with virgil
They shouldn’t. I don’t like when online leftist influencer ppl talk about drama.
No. They won’t and their fans will continue pretending like it’s just “drama”.
My kneejerk assumption is that they're suing each other.
They made a statement on Patreon months ago. Is anything new going on?
I feel like everything that needs to be said has already been said

honestly what more do you need to know
What's funnier than undergoing a medical procedure without your informed consent? GIVING a medical procedure when you suspect there is coercion!
