news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

disclaimer, this is a rough observation, definitely not a robust analysis.
the other flank exists, but it's largely cordoned off to start-ups and the odd private company. some companies implement these policies, but because competition is very much not real for most of the economy in the current stage of capitalism (especially in America), work policy is ordained mainly by a cadre of coordinated monopolists.
beyond this, class interest writ large of the western bourgeoisie currently is to stamp out any working class momentum that could form, given the heightening contradictions coming to roost with China's ascendance and America's stagnation. There's a new cadre unwilling to make the social concessions of their forefathers to combat socialism, instead taking an even more militant approach and embracing domestic fascism. Throw in deeply-rooted ideology w/rt the protestant work ethic and grind culture as well as the need to be able to assert hierarchy on their subordinates.
