2/4/2021 Update: In light of chucklefuck TERF shit with Giggle, I am once again demanding the rest of you liberals educate yourselves on trans issues with Trans Liberation as a starting point. And you better believe more literature on minority struggle is in the pipelines. We're doing some reading this month, libs. Get ready.
AUDIOBOOKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED FOR ALL 8 CHAPTERS. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR LIBERALISM.
https://hexbear.net/post/48476
Follow that link and you'll find a free download of the book in pdf and comrade @EugeneDebs's epub, comrade @futomes' audiobooks for all eight chapters, and notes and discussions from the book (and don't you dare just read the fucking notes you god damn liberals, read the fucking book or listen to the audiobook).
I spent an entire weekend night scanning the whole damn book so y'all could educate yourselves on the fucking struggles we've been screaming about for the past six months and hardly any of you damn cissie libs participated. Had you participated you'd probably have a better understanding of the struggles we face and we probably wouldn't be in this situation where trans people are heading for this damn hills because you're all shit libs driving us away.
Fucking read it or listen to the audiobooks and I won't ask again. It's all free. The book is only 147 pages - that's 7 pages per night for exactly 3 weeks. I wipe my fucking ass with 7 pages, that's nothing. People put genuine effort into this to ensure you could educate yourselves and you have no reason not to outside of fucking liberalism.
It reads quick. Drop whatever the fuck you're reading and read this. Now. :leslie-shining:
~~Edit: I'll be throwing up a discussion thread at some point in the next week or so for you damn shitlibs to comment on with things you find meaningful so I'll know if you actually gave a shit. I swear to God I better see y'all in the comments.~~
If you're having trouble downloading, there are links in this comment by u/hexaflexagonbear that seem to work.

Do publicly traded corporations act like a virus?
[GPT4All Nous Hermes 2 Mistral DPO]
Publicly traded corporations, like any other organization or entity, can have various impacts on society and the environment. The term "virus" is typically used to describe a self-replicating infectious agent that can cause disease in living organisms. However, when discussing organizations' behavior in relation to viruses, it might refer more metaphorically to their growth, impact, or ability to spread rapidly within a system (e.g., an economy).
In this context, some people argue that publicly traded corporations may act like a virus due to the following reasons:
- Rapid expansion and growth: Like viruses, which can multiply quickly in favorable conditions, large corporations often seek rapid expansion through mergers, acquisitions, or market domination. This growth can lead to increased influence over markets, economies, and societies.
- Resource consumption: Both viruses and rapidly expanding corporations consume resources (either biological resources for a virus or financial/human resources for a corporation). In some cases, this resource consumption may be detrimental to the environment or society at large.
- Potential harm to host organism: A virus can cause significant damage to its host organism before reproducing and spreading further. Similarly, corporations might prioritize profit over other concerns, leading to negative consequences for workers, communities, or the environment in their pursuit of growth and expansion.
- Spreading through networks: Viruses spread through networks (e.g., biological systems), while corporations can leverage modern communication technologies and globalized markets to expand rapidly across borders and industries. This rapid spread may lead to homogenization of economies, cultures, or ecosystems.
- Potential for mutation: Like viruses that can evolve and adapt through genetic mutations, corporations might also change their strategies, structures, or values in response to external pressures (e.g., regulatory changes, market shifts). This ability to adapt allows them to survive and potentially thrive even under challenging circumstances.
[Discluded for AI Revisionism]
However, it's essential to note that not all publicly traded corporations behave like a virus, and many organizations prioritize sustainability, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship in their operations. The behavior of any corporation depends on its leadership, values, and the regulatory environment within which it operates.
