Understood - but every comment by the poster was fuck’n openly hostile (at me, at the anecdotal cited coworkers, and at fellow imaginary workers who may or may not justifiable needs for flexibility - of course the poster is the one who has a right to judge)
I stand by comments but doubt they were internalized for any growth or self reflection (but one can hope)





It’s kind of sad, because the ideals USA claimed to protect were fine
Claimed is doing a lot of work here. For many / most periods in U.S. history those claims were clearly demonstrably lies and lip service - as the U.S. continually committed atrocities to its citizens and those abroad in the name of capital power.
Reminds me a bit of the US evangelicals who profusely worship the bible as, but are blatantly and guiltlessly committing mortal sins - see Secretary Pete “Kegs Breath” for a nice example.
It’s a very American phenomenon
