That black site in Tacoma is bonkers, been there forever. Been protested at since the Bush years, I can only imagine how much worse it has gotten.

No... this is all wrong... this whole operation has just gone completely sidewaysface

This seems a little odd given the masculine pronoun usage in the manifesto that was just found. Or am i just being dumb/bad.

Edit: Yeah the thread is being updated and it looks like this isnt quite true. Always remember that anything that gets sourced back to FB in the first week or so might be bullshit.

Is she this pedantic about everything? I mean if so, maybe this is a good faith whatever, but I have this feeling she isn't at all consistent on how careful we all need to be with our words.

This is just the state of media, she was probably encouraged to write an article since her tweet “went viral”. It doesn’t matter if that’s her real life stance, her job is merely to generate traffic. That’s why aggregators like Reddit and Facebook are full of bullshit like this, they’re optimized for outrage, it generates the most “engagement”.

Oh my, I hadn’t considered that, it’s just a problem of personal responsibility! It’s not like these media companies are designed take advantage of basic human behaviors to generate ad revenue, right?

Instead of blaming individuals for reacting to poo poo designed to make them react, maybe we could hold our media to a higher standard? Is that asking too much?

Or you can continue being angry at companies for producing media you're willingly consuming, I guess.

Who says I’m consuming it? I only heard about this poo poo from this thread, but even if it wasn’t brought up here there are more than enough people consuming this poo poo to keep the system working as-is. Individuals not consuming it doesn’t change the quality of the product, there’s no reason to believe that sitting here lamenting the lack of personal responsibility will change a drat thing.

It turns out the free market doesn’t care about the well being of the masses. The free market will always settle at the bottom, because the risk is low and the reward is great.
