Hell they said that Pelosi should be opposed regardless of whether you are trying to force an M4A vote.

The only thing they were iffy on was the efficacy of forcing an M4A vote that you know they will lose.

i know it’s nothing important, but i get an uncanny valley type feeling from that female “british” voice over on that crenshaw ad the chapo guys were mocking, probably someone impersonating what a brit sounds like, but is there a specific reason why “dramatic news voice overs” typically have british voices? it’s weird - can’t even trust your own fake media in a fake universe

Wondering if it is more beneficial to utilize a diversity of tactics rather than expend energy nitpicking for hours why you think everyone else's plans are bad and not going to work.

Also, how to expand organizations without being vulnerable to spooks.

What's funny is in the Marvel films, Tony replaced his Gentlemanly, English-sounding JARVIS AI assistant, when he became unavailable, with FRIDAY, who's clearly an Aussie. Talk about a step down there. I always think of Aussies as just emitting a stream of racial slurs and curses that've been normalized for their culture. EY, DA FUGGIN ABBOS IS CUMMIN EH, YA oval office?? Then, Peter Parker's suit-side AI just sounds like a midwesterner American MILF.

Regardless of whether it's a good idea to force an MFA vote, it was jarring to hear the Chappos use the same "hard things are hard" and "gosh, we just don't have the votes" type arguments that we make fun of Obama and the libs using.

basically. it also moves the debate about the role of NGOs away from the state, financiers, and leadership and onto the employees.

i think there's some use for the idea, but as a strata of the working class, not a separate class. a lot of the fighting over the term is from people who would be considered part of it, so it gets weird.

in the context of the gig-ification of lot of stable work, PMC feels like a new labor aristocracy, or at least a type of worker who will have material reasons to ultimately side with the bourgeoisie unless under extreme compulsion from a strong workers movement

I'd been assuming until i started reading this that it was PMC as in Private Military Contractor, as in they have zero loyalty to any cause but the one that pays them, but this makes a lot more sense. I don't follow Amber because its like a 60/40 that I won't like whatever she's retweeting and the 40 isn't worth it to me, but this all tracks

yah the term comes from barbara ehrenreich if you want to go to the source. it basically refers to the “upper middle class” or “white collar professionals” who administer this hellworld we live in. ehrenreich says the class breaks both ways, ie some recognize they are workers and turn into cspam posters while others defend the meritocracy and run interference for the ruling class until the bitter end
