    to think, those fucking idiots thought they could bring down the US by flying planes into the twin towers when all they needed to do was wait for Republicans to get enough power.

      I mean the rampant islamophobia and patriot washing of conservative media absolutely got more pervasive thanks in part to those planes. Probably not the domino, but certainly moved us in this direction.

    Does anyone else not talk about that stuff on work accounts? They’re just used for work and I assume my boss and his boss and their bosses will all read everything.

          I think for younger people, this is probably feeling like a betrayal. Almost like, “The boss said smoking was OK as long as we stayed in the smoking area and didn’t litter our butts everywhere, but then they just up and fired everyone that took smoke breaks the other day.”

          “Don’t smoke at work” is an easy thing to say, and most people adhere to that in general. But it’s still fucked up to fire the smokers, when company policy just literal days before was “it’s fine, just follow these basic rules.”

          Older people grew up keeping their private life private a lot more than younger people today, who have grown up online having their data mined constantly. Just by the nature of having grown up without ubiquitous data harvesting devices feeding analytics companies, we had more privacy as a default condition.

          These particular folks were told they had a safe space for the chats they had, and then the rug was pulled from under them.
