I was ostracized at a right-wing small military contractor during covid for being skeptical of the novel medical treatment being offered for free with zero liability for those profiting from it.
I almost stopped trying to rationalize the world around me at that point in my life. I assume my experience was simply because the CTO had everyone under his thumb and he decided it was a good idea.
The authoritarianisms that came from both left and right wing sources during that time continue to baffle me. Very dangerous precedents were set during that time.
Money loves power, silicon valley will continue to vanguard political causes that extend political, economic, psychological, and spiritual control over people, through useful idiots at the IC level that actually love the fart smells and don't care which direction the wind is blowing the farts, an HR machine that marches to the beat of a global borg-impulse, tirelessly filling any structure vacuum they can find with pointless systems in order to restrain any remnant of human spirit, and a psychopathic management class that is unrepentantly self-serving.
I don't know that I agree with this, but it is rather poetically written.
