  • You dont provide enough info.

    The Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goy has sections on the term got as a pejorative or anti Semitic dog whistle. So you can see other associated signals.

    Most truely anti semetic people are right wing so mentioning multiple times association with left wing as tho that incriminates him is incorrect.

    Do a websearch for the creator name but you need to be extremely careful with what you believe because basically every public figure who is anti Zionist is smeared with anti semitism. So whoever says he is, you need to look at who else they are claiming it about and see if you agree or they are just misusing the term to slander the plurality of people who are pro Palestine.

    Absolutely no reputable source ever lists being pro Palestine as an indicator of anti semitism. (Even if they are saying it about someone else.) So of you see that, you can disregard everything else that source says.


  • I wasn’t directly involved in these situations but I have heard 2 different close secondhand stories where non English was banned. because to the ears of English - speaking people it sounded like the non English were using slurs or talking about certain English speakers in a way that would be considered inappropriate.

    In both cases the complaints were made by black people. I think there can be complexity here

    • in a lot of languages the normal word for black sounds like the n-word in English. It really sticks out even if some is saying “can you pass me the black marker” or other innocent and non hostile comment
    • in a lot of languages there are using words that do in fact have racist overtones in that language. But the specific speakers in question may not care, may be racist, or may have insufficiently interrogated their use.
    • Or frankly the sense that racialized people were being talked about covertly could have been correct.
    • When it’s people just complaining that they can’t what conversations are happening around them (that they are not involved in) or white people feeling that they are being persecuted I have very little sympathy.

    Even in a complex situation the banning of languages is unlikely the correct choice. Ideally workers could have a conversation to decide on etiquette.





  • You’re missing a major incentive. Over the course of several decades, laws prohibiting discriminatory behavior internally and externally were passed. At the same time, unions became less militant and less democratic. So workers try to turn to the new laws to stand up for themselves. Especially middle- and upper- sections because they have the independent resources and systemic support.

    The various waves of HR interventions are defenses against the above. Polices, trainings, disciplines, hiring practices, codes of conduct etc. Which are implemented in ways that are unserious, under-resourced, lots of loopsholes, designed to breed resentment, etc. But enough that if there is a problem, the boss can say “we did everything we could”. So any legal consequences will be eliminated or reduced.

    Rainbow capitalism is a slightly different situation but in context of the above. After the western AIDS crisis settled down, LGBTQ+ leadership was entirely seized by wealthy people who were the least dead and least traumatized of everyone. They took advantage of work done by others to benefit their own individual positions.

    It’s all in the context of capitalism being inherently about exploitation. There is no such thing as a woke corporation. it can’t happen.



  • I am not you in any respect. Just recycling advice I’ve seen in many similar threads. Which is that you might do better with a personal touch because you wont get through the resume robots. If you can get yourself in socially with people who are in a position to help you out. So you need to figure out who those people are, specifically (like by looking on linkedin). And how to get into the mix with them. Which could be by going to the right bars, contributing to the right projects, joining the right improv club etc.

    and maybe check programming.dev

    If no one will hire me I thought of trying to wing it myself and put fliers up offering tech support.

    I’ve actually noticed in the past year or so, it seems the world is going back to fliers. Just walking around I am seeing posters for stuff like it’s 2011. There are people putting up fliers for tech support, among other stuff. If they are successful, I have no clue. I think it has to do with the enshittification of social media. Honestly it might be worth trying especially if you set a time/money budget. Like spend $30 and 10 hours; see what happens. But maybe facebook ads? In addition.
