There is also a Ukrainian Catholic "sect" (denomination? Not sure the proper terminology). They follow the heirarchy of the Pope, like other Catholics, but I believe there is more figures in there too (metropolitan's, archbishops). Their liturgy is more Orthodox than Roman cathlicism, (Byzantine rite) and some other differences - communion, baptism/confirmation, priests can marry.

But we didn't start the fire!
I disagree. And I don't mean to preach, but there is a power in words and using them (or not using them). The fight over the word and meaning of socialism is not what "the people" need right now, that can come later. This has been happening in the US closing in on a century. It's not those tolerant of material reality (as you say) you need to convince, it's those that would benefit from "the peoples" agenda that don't acknowledge material reality. Ride the wave of making billionaires pay.
Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan "Down With Socialism" on the banner of his "great crusade," that is really not what he means at all.
What he really means is "Down with Progress--down with Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal," and "down with Harry Truman's fair Deal." That's all he means.
- Harry Truman
Don't swim against this right now. These programs from the new deal and fair deal are not even called socialist by American standards anymore.
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

Frozen nutsack cucks made me chuckle. Usually people making these remarks live in the butt crack of tornado alley, near the gooch of hurricane country, or out west where every year the fires of hell burn down a million acres. Different strokes for different folks.

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to consider the "nuance" of a situation where business is asked to treat their workers like human beings.
What is complicated? You give two bullet points and a potential solution that all fall under the umbrella of "paying someone." This solves the problem.
Ah, yes. The far away time when "Far Right" just meant ideologically conservative and not the wannabe brownshirts. So long ago, 2012.
A simpler time.
I work for one of these behemoths, and there are a lot of adults in the room. When we began our transition off the prior, well known corporate AV, I never even heard of crowd strike.
The adults were asking reasonable questions: why such an aggressive migration timeline? Why can't we have our vendor recommended exclusion lists applied? Why does this need to be installed here when previously agentless technologies was sufficient? Why is crowd strike spending monies on a Superbowl ad instead of investing back into the technology?
Either something fucky is a foot, as in this was mandated to our higher ups to m make the switch (why?), or, as is typically the case, the decision was made already and this 'due diligence' is all window dressing to CYA.
Who gives a shit about fines on SLAs if your vendor is going to foot the bill.
Oh man, I would browse while on the shitter at work. It used to be one of my OGs. A lot of tinfoil. And you'd get the deep dives that didn't feel politically motivated (compared to today).
Then, the Trumpeting.
Like everything else not stapled down circa 2016, it was an easy target for the Russian firehose of falsehood: an entire community of people wanting to believe some alternative bullshit.
It really is whataboutism, by definition though.
"Putin puppets Trump around like a Jeff Dunham prop"
"But WHAT ABOUT all the election interference the US has done in other countries"
And then saying No puppet, but if he was it doesn't matter because the US has been interfering in other countries.
Whoawhoawhoawhataboutism
The frustrating part of Trump being krompromat to Russia is... the people drawing attention to it are oblivious to the foreign policy of the US for the last 100 years?!
That's what your frustrated about lol?
