Or, all of the above are depressing. "Someone else is worse off _somewhere_" is a facile way to dismiss any complaint.

- ananiochita 4y agoNo, the point is that the vast, vast majority of workers in most jobs are worse off than anyone at Twitter now.
- andrekandre 4y agoi don't think thats a healthy way of looking at things, workers being treated unfairly/badly (even if they are privilege) isn't good because normalization of such treatment just makes it easier to do it to more vulnerable workers elsewhere abuse is abuse, full stop
- kadoban 4y agoThe majority of humanity is soul-crushingly poor and abused. That doesn't mean I should be able to punch you in the face without complaint or punishment.
- ananiochita 4y agoNo one is punching Twitter workers in the face, not even remotely close.
- kadoban 4y agoIndeed. It's almost like it was a metaphor.
- ananiochita 4y agoA passive-aggressive metaphor, if you will.
- troyvit 4y agoEven when that _somewhere_ is literally almost everywhere?
