Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

But ... but we're already doing every single one of them 🥺
Isn't this like the whole SCRUM framework
Bruh this is my leadership team at work!
Same... Lol
Holy shit, my workplace must be trying to sabotage fascism...
I really need to keep that spiderman meme in my back pocket, but this was also my first thought
Holy shit it's AGILE....
I can't upvote this enough....
"hey, boss man created a JIRA ticket for the revolution, they wanna know how many story points we think that will be." 😂
I work in the development office of a municipality.
I was made for this.
So, civ v was right, the only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy, is its inefficiency.
Please tell me that's not actually what they tell you to do.
Where's the bombs and general strikes?
Almost half of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. A strike means they can't feed or house their kids. Corporations have Americans by the balls and they know it.
I get how all parts of this are effective to sabotage an economy and hurt the ambitions of those at the top. But, as a regular person working within the system, I choose not to discriminate against or complain about other individual workers just trying to get through their day.
That seems counter productive. The best way to resist the oligarchs can’t be to fuck with the other poor people we’re trying to help.
Most points are more focused on decreasing workplace efficiency by ways other than lowering morale.
Those not working to dismantle fascism are fascists.
Hey now I didn’t suggest not working against the system and the fascists. I pointed out that targeting the morale and well-being of individuals close to you might not be the best use of one’s energy, assuming underlying motivation is to make the world better for yourself and others.
And you can sabotage the work without being hostile towards an individual. That individual is somebody you should be getting on your side.
Youd be much better off trying to unionize your coworkers, that would be far more damaging to the fascist ubercapitalists, and much more beneficial for the workers morale.
Short term pain for long term freedom is needed. If people had your point of view during the American civil war, you'd be the Confederate states of the US.
Every day people are the ones enabling and holding up fascism, not the uniforms, not the leadership, just people like you and your loved ones. Without you fascists have no power. Pressuring those around you, sabotaging their work if it's helpful to the fascists, socially isolating those that refuse to help are the effective steps to take. If you don't take them, you're as bad as any fash with a gun or suit.
