Police officers are taught how to de escalate a volatile situation.
Obviously, this means they know how to create and escalate a volatile situation. Some do that deliberately in order to manipulate their victims into inappropriate actions.
Peter Dutton was a police officer, he will always be a police officer, it is all he knows.

Voting against one’s own economic self interest in the hopes of hurting someone else.
I hope the UK Tory party are taking a long hard look at themselves. Trump has managed in a matter of weeks the kind of economic and reputational damage it took them over 10 years to achieve #racetothebottom

@Canevecchio Trump is following through on an old #GroverNorquist plan. The #DestructionOfGovernment. Chaos is his goal. It's not his plan. There is no plan. It's his chaotic personality brought up in the #BubbleOfPrivilege where he had no barriers. The only positive for this #Nihilistic #RaceToTheBottom is that the destruction will be greatest in #RedStates https://youtu.be/VjxE2RTevMQ?feature=shared

Asking people to be literate in order to enjoy the benefits of literacy is "elitist" and tyrannical.
If only people put a fraction of the energy they spend on defending stupidity to better use, they would have been educated by now.
@futurebird this - so much this.
I have to tell people that #thinktanks, #brainrot and advantageous framing is older than the TV, older than the radio.
The parents of #liberals and #conservatives were the #liberalists, who were groomed by the #aristocracy and the #barons.
Words like #freemarket basically translate to markets controlled centrally by a few monopolists in an exploitative #RaceToTheBottom, where one or several entities become #KingOfTheHole.
Don’t expect any significant technological #innovation in the #EU anytime soon.

Wow. After some 60+ years the Society for Technical Communication (STC) has folded. I’ve been a member for more than 20 years.
This is a reflection on the importance (or lack thereof) of documentation particularly in the software industry, but also hardware, manufacturing, etc. This was once seen as crucial for customer support, but now it’s just an expense to spend as little on as possible.

I find it hard to explain to my #Swedish friends why #IKEA has #enshittified furniture in general.
They set the #market precedent that has now had an effect on the entire #furniture #industry as a whole, invariably ensuring we throw away and buy furniture at a much faster rate than ever before.
It's all apart of the #modern #racetothebottom which is imposed by #capitalism.

@nullagent Sadly, this seems all too common for universities today. They often profit from a lot of unpaid labor, which is a reflection of how the shift toward profit-driven models has impacted the pursuit and sharing of knowledge. It's a far cry from the original mission of these institutions. #Education #UnpaidLabor #HigherEd #racetothebottom
