I work at an oil company in Houston and if I expressed a shred of progressive thought I would be run out of town. Maybe this place is more your speed?

- TeMPOraL 7y agoThe context here is obviously tech companies and media, which appear to be entirely in control of extremists. Keeping of course in mind that it's most likely a small but very vocal minority that dictates the general perception.
- Analemma_ 7y ago> The context here is obviously tech companies and media That's not obvious to me at all. The parent said "Where we seem to find ourselves today..." which pretty clearly implies a universalist statement, and one that happens to be dead wrong.
- weberc2 7y agoThe opposite of progressive intolerance is not intolerance toward progressives. One can (and should) object to both.

- shard972 7y agoOh yea the cultural influence of the oil companies, it's so annoying how BP culture just makes it's way to the rest of civil society /s If you can't see how the tech/media industry have a larger influence over the general culture then I don't know what to say.
