This culture enforces power dynamics: when they go low, we go high, etc. It also doesn't work.

Tech wants to believe that it can fix D&I woes through aggressive marketing and recruiting. Let's just hire more women and Black people!

But that doesn't work because you actually have to do the dirty negative stuff and fire shitty privileged people.

Not only that, but you need to fire them at the *start* of their shittiness, not when they write a 10-page manifesto that wrecks your image.

Will this make people afraid to share their thoughts? Yes. Shitty people should be afraid to share their fascist thoughts.

Sarah's politics are a lot closer on a lot of issues than her Twitter lets on. I disagree with her often but she's 100% supportive.

Well ok then. Glad she supports you. I've seen her belittle leftists so many times

I think most of her stuff targets Bernie-centric issues, which I am over and don't see aimed at my camp. The left is complex.
