Fascism means strength in numbers, a coalition, a union, etc. It is NOT political spectrum specific. So you can be a left or right wing fascist. Read more books!

Also what drew you here? If you’re like me and coming here as an observer, what have you seen in your time here?

I’m struggling to understand how we can end work? Don’t we need doctors, firefighters, teachers etc? Please can someone explain

Prior to COVID, Jack and Jill both worked 8-9 hour days. Jill lived near work, so her commute was half an hour a day. Jack drove four hours round trip. When the WFH hammer hit, Jack slowly started working 12 hour days. “Hey, it doesn't really matter, I'd have been commuting anyway.” There was no one to tell Jack, “Hey, man, what are you doing going home at 9? They're not gonna pay you any more for it.” Now Jill is expected to work 11-12 hours as well, even though her “workday” prior to COVID was under 10. Who won here? (This should be a cautionary tale. If you're going to fight for WFH, you should also fight for the same hours as pre-COVID. You should fight for the right to disconnect for 2/3 of the day.)

Following 4 months of countless applications, only a handful of interviews, and no offers, I finally got a job offer. The pay is 18/hour and what sound like really good benefits, bi-annual bonuses, and they want me to start right away. My gut is telling me I should take it, but I checked on Glassdoor when I got home and out of 11 reviews, they're mostly bad. Only 2 were detailed though. I would really hate to go from one toxic environment into another, even if the pay and benefits are better. But now I'm second guessing myself and I could use some advice. Please send help

So, I'm quite new to the jobs front then most of you, I don't have any kind of PHD, i have all my GCSE's (General certificate of Secondary Education) and an NVQ Level 2 in Business Admin and I'm great with IT and numbers. My first experience with a job was right before covid doing an apprenticeship Accounts payable (invoice receiving) for my local council. I loved that Job, loved the people, loved the work but near the end of my contract they started treating me like shit, wanted me to basically create a procedure for them that detailed all the work I do so someone else (on a higher wage) would be able to complete my work easily because I was so good at what i did and never fell behind on workflows. (Apart from when depression kicked in about April/June time because of covid) unfortunately I couldn't complete…
