The "Immoral Mazes"[1] sequence from LessWrong may be of interest for you. Maybe jump straight into "Does Big Business Hate Your Family?"[2], but I recommend reading the whole thing.

- motohagiography 4y agoInteresting drill down and I like lesswrong, I just wish we had a more cogent set of values and criticisms that had legs, as even I'm guilty of just over articulating complaints. We can get traction against office problems like yelling, swearing, disagreeableness, teasing, chirping, and fratboy behavior, but by analogy, sorority level passive aggression, gaslighting, malicious rumors, lying, gossip, spying, whisper networks, and related animus doesn't have a critical framework to recognize it. We can tell stories about this stuff, and lesswrong is gratifying, but I haven't seen a cogent critical theory on this stuff that has legs where we can say, "hey, this really is problematic" in a meaningful way.
