As a former union organizer, I pretty much agree with everyone you said (which is also why I don't do it anymore). It's great when employees want to band together against the company's predatory bullshit, but the reality is that most people are more than happy to watch their coworkers get shafted, and it's only when it happens to them that they finally decide their interests align with others. Consequently, they just end up getting picked off one by one. I mean, you can literally show them the statutes in the legal code the company is breaking in terms of labor law and they still won't want to do shit about it, and in most cases will rat you out in an attempt to get on the company's good side for a pittance. It is really is pathetic to watch over and over again, just no backbone or principles whatsoever, total selfish opportunism like you were saying. At some point you gotta say "alright have it your way" and laugh at their stupidity. I used to have way more sympathy than I have now.

I was in college for game design for 8 semesters and every one of my professors was someone had worked in game design or was currently working in the industry and they all told me and warned me about the instability of jobs in game design as an industry. They still encouraged me to pursue my passion but they warned me of this. I wisely chose to quit and now I’ve been working as a truck driver for 3 years making great money and have a 401k and benefits with my company. Couldn’t be happier. These people KNOW what the industry is like when they join it, everyone knows game design has horrible job security.

In what world would you think you're likely to keep your role after a monster merge? I swear people in the games industry are too busy being passionate to actually understand how common cuts are across most workforces, especially after a period of 'false growth' layoffs are so common in the tech industry after a merger and I know this from experience, just because you can draw and animate thralls bulging frostwolf member as a contractor doesnt make you indispensable when the cuts come. I (like everyone) hate to see anyone lose their jobs, but some of these people need a healthy dose of reality.

Funny that you call out the normies in that article I recently got to learn a bunch of stuff about WW2 from Mark Solonin (a "gonzo" dope Russian historian) and by extension about what Soviet Union actually was People usually cry about how bad Hitler was, and if you're a "buff" by modern standards you're allowed to think (preferably without asking) about whether or not Stalin may've killed a few millions innocent people But my question is actually better - how many of those people were actually innocent It's cool I guess to point fingers at a dead despot but like is he the source of the problem or is he merely a symptom And lo and behold everyone who I knew has speedran turning into an NPC who prided themselves on "critical thinking" and drinking a bottle of wine compulsively every evening because they could afford it xDDDDs I'm a certified moron but everyone just tries to be stupider than me so I guess they're succeeding My "friend" (I don't have anyone whom I communicate with and can call friends unironically) who I talk with, for example, just doesn't accept that there even are some other ways of being than his bulletproof recipe of "taking it down the arse deeper every year" What I'm saying is that if people 100 years ago were anything like the way they are now, and I have some reasons to suspect it, it's not much of a wonder, for me at least, that someone had to start rounding them up for a creative expressionist art session in front of a brick wall xD
