Sin Vega@keira_reckons "confusing" is a weird choice of word when they're talking about things that are obviously bollocks
@keira_reckons "Being wowed by bullshit isn’t all bad. In another study, those who were susceptible to corporate bullshit rated their supervisors as more charismatic and “visionary”, and were more likely to be inspired by their company’s mission statement and to experience job satisfaction."
... THAT IS VERY BAD THOUGH WAGGH

:EA DATA. SF:Hard agree with you.
Drones susceptible to authoritarianism might, themselves, be content but that doesn't make it not bad. It's definitely a net bad when others suffer and their response is likely to be "seems fine to me" while they get busy licking those boots.
@jrdepriest exactly. It's the worst possible outcome. They make everything terrible but they're never going to leave because they're too fucking gullible to understand that it's terrible, and everyone else is driven out
It's honestly bleak as hell
Ooze 𓁟@sinvega I assumed the writer was being sarcastic with that. Describing those people we've all worked with, pretending it's good to suck up to capitalism.
tootbrute@keira_reckons but but what about all the synergy? it was a LIE!?!?
Alexander Dyas@keira_reckons The crux of this, as with so much at the moment, is the lack of critical thinking skills. The step that ideally comes directly after hearing or reading something when you ask “Is this at all credible?”. Without this we tend to trust anyone with any position of ‘authority’.
It’s a hard skill to learn especially later in life, but essential. It should be a mandatory part of school curricula.
