I found my current job on LinkedIn. It's definitely a useful job-hunting tool. Its "social" aspects are virtually nil - part of my job is to post news related to my industry on our LinkedIn page, and Nobody Gives A Fuck.

i googled it and found this article that said: "But nowhere has the backlash been worse than on Stalinist Twitter: a peculiar mélange of social justice paraphernalia, Komsomol Manga, and Red Army porn." is there really such thing as Red Army porn??

if you follow enough people in left twitter you see these factional+personal feuds flare up eventually

^^^^^^ and if you follow or know enough of them these feuds can even take up your whole TL & fuck up irl friendships

distinctly remember her criticizing jeet heer for being a knowitall who would be shouted down if he were a woman (a half-ok argument imo), respondees saying he gets a ton of racist harassment as it is, and her saying he deserves the harassment he gets (i can't find that last turn anymore, could be deleted)
xp and yes this is like high school
really a lot of people like to fucking rip into ppl in the most egregious ways; you just want to slap your palm on the desk and shout YOU ARE NOT DOING THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS HERE

generally a problem with the left and its interest in justice is it ends up attracting a lot of extremely self righteous unkind people who no one wld actual ever want to associate with

Board academics of twitter aint got no jobs in the summer and are tired of reading after crushingly brutal course evals, so they don't bother reading Frost or Stoker and immediately agree with Kendizor. Stoker, Frost, and Erickson, all women, are called misogynists and rape apolgists.
big lol @ academics if this is true
― Mordy, Saturday, 30 January 2016 01:34 (eight years ago) link
self righteous unkind people
this sounds right but WHY unkind??, seems like most of the WARRIORZ i know are hella kind, it kinda goes w/ their interest in justice in the first place (say, justice-as-compassion)
― j., Saturday, 30 January 2016 02:57 (eight years ago) link
i think desire for justice is sometimes more about an interest in fairness and order than it is about actually caring about people, feel like the left attracts a lot of very heady people who have a deep investment in being right
having said that idk if you can truly be said to care about people if you dont desire justice for them, and of course im not claiming everyone fits that description or their arent shades of grey etc
― lag∞n, Saturday, 30 January 2016 03:15 (eight years ago) link
and of course the left has a long and often comic occasionally tragic history of internal ideological struggles

there's a kind of "moral absolutism" inherent to post-enlightenment politics of both the right and left (cf. reinhart koselleck's "critique and crisis") that makes compassion and justice not exactly opposites but not entirely overlapping either.
but "social compassion warrior" probably wouldn't catch on as well.
― ryan, Saturday, 30 January 2016 03:47 (eight years ago) link
idk I get confused whenever someone brings up the enlightenment. the way Twitter constantly streams real-time, seems like it's easier 'be right' than to be kind when talking politics
