  • You were misrepresenting what occurred. I cleared up the confusion. I had no further point to make, man.

    In my opinion, though, he’s either a scapegoat or the admin is pissed he forced their hand in messaging so he’s being punished for it. It’s a shallow victory, but it is telling that the admin wants the appearance of capitulation. I think that we pulled off the largest general strike in decades has them scared the strategy will spread.




  • It’s a field full of grifters that get lifted up because they tell rich people what they want to hear.

    The Chicago School is the driving force behind the rise of neoliberalism, the movement right of Western democracies, and the return of fascism in America.

    Yes, there’s good work done in the field. But economists could prove definitively that capitalism is killing us all and that socialism is the only solution to organizing civilisation, and the only economists being platformed would continue to be neoliberal shit heels.
















  • Literally was being used as an intensifier in both cases where it was being used to signify the truth of something and in the absurdist manner. So, no, it didn’t lose all meaning. So long as you’re not emphasizing something too absurd to be considered real, the original meaning still holds. And if someone uses the word to emphasize something that could be real, though unlikely, they’ll likely get the appropriate follow-up.

    On the Crescendo one, do you also get mad about forte? Cause basically the same thing happened there. And no one will confuse the music term for the colloquial term in either case.
