So, the more repressed you are at work, the more likely you are to play video games.


I had to read this more to understand what was it signifying as working and middle class and it seems to be that "working class" means "upper-lower class" (or just people who aren't in control of their workplaces) and the managerial class is now middle class. Can we just get a unified idea of these "rankings" (or just do away with them altogether?). https://phys.org/news/2024-04-video-game-devotees-class-middle.html

As mentioned in the replies to this note, the gist of this article is bullshit and classist noise. It's the kind of content produced for the managerial class of society, or those who are staunch neo-NIMBYs of the workplace.

So The New York Times just be running straight lies for war, eh? Like it mixes it with some truth and left-adjacent voices so it's kind of seen as a both-sides space.

Referring to NL as the "Kingdom of the Netherlands" to remind myself that these folks still got colonial grips on the Carribbean. I legit thought Aruba (or Arubeira, the name given by the locals) was an independent country. A prime minister of the area had just decided it wasn't worth pursuing anymore. So so freaky.

I have been enjoying the work of Dissent; namely of their Spring 2023 issue. https://www.dissentmagazine.org/issue/spring-2023/

The essay about Copy City at https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/the-fight-against-cop-city/ helped made clear and provided a working example of a multi-issue, cross-left-political banner towards liberation eventually devolves into a battle between corporations and its larger shielding — the State itself. We can hope for the State to reconfigure itself, but that takes decades. People going as far as to put themselves to prevent the ecologically corrupt disaster of the capitalist prison system should be enough to show people that this is not an accident or some misunderstanding.
