The war between Capital and Labor goes back a lot longer than 40 years. It’s important to keep the broad history of capitalism and the labor movement in mind in order to make sense of what can seem like random acts of cruelty and injustice.

Nope. Knowing the rules and patterns of crossword clues is way more important. You always see novice puzzlers wasting time on vague “word association” type tangents with clues when if they knew that they were looking for a plural noun or a gerund or a first name or a pun, the answer would be obvious. All the trivia…
So come up with some ammendments, dipshit.
Abusive bosses are the next frontier for a MeToo-style movement and should be linked with unions and worker protections and executive accountability more broadly.
Libby and Overdrive are the apps. Fuck Amazon.
They sell the dance moves. You can pay money for that emote. Epic makes money off of Fortnite and it knows exactly how much it made from that dance move emote specifically.
Did you ever go to a minstrel show with performers in blackface in rural Minnesota? If the taboo was such a coastal elite underground secret, surely there must have been some coon-show hoedowns at the barn where your simple town folk enjoyed some traditional American entertainment, no? When do you think the last…
Sports History is a great idea. “History” is usually just the history of politics/war. Cultural history is a great framework to hang things on and gets closer to the lived experience of normal people in the past. It’s as good a framework as “Art History”.
There must be video game companies set up as worker co-ops or union shops, no? Why can’t I think of any off the top of my head? Would definitely buy whatever they’re selling even if it’s shit as a pseudo-political contribution. Some indie devs should do it just for the free promo.
Getting laid off as union member is almost always a much better experience than getting laid off as a non-union member.
Reiterating:
“At some point, it became widely known that that blackface was offensive”
Racism is common and ubiquitous. It is not rare and exotic.

But emails = proof. We have proof. Once you have proof, you have facts. Facts mean it's not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact. Proof also proves there was crime. Emails, proof, fact, crime. Rigged, cheater. Done. It's all very simple and clear.
Yelling at cranks and conspiracy theories is not a cure or an antidote. It’s a social vaccine that keeps other people from getting infected with misinformation. Similarly, we make fun of Scientology, not to save Scientologists, but to prevent regular people from joining a cult.
But other governments say they’re safe. Non-government people say their safe.
Bows and arrows. The OG American way.
Even if you don't own the company, an investment would give you ownership of a security that you could sell on a secondary market. If backers got download codes that they could resell for pennies on the dollar (or substantial markup if some miracle happened an Elon Musk decided ReRoll was gonna be his next project)…
