Such a tragedy. Guy could’ve become a really influential activist and leader for left politics in tech.

To be fair, stock markets and values are pretty much entirely detached from reality by now, bc the fed is printing money en masse and buying corporate bonds, keeping them from failing and enables those ludicrous gains. Debt has become a commodity, that can be sold directly now to get funding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYrgFU-P63g

I don’t view his theory of bullshit jobs as an absolute explainer and critique (since it came from a rather random observation, with massive feedback & confirmation) but rather as a good example of how corporate neoliberalism has reached a level of absurdity and internal crisis, that should be abolished ASAP. The only real criticism I have with it, is that it treats the solution of this less as a political struggle and more as a organizational problem, cuz in the end capital has to be confronted and destroyed. Anyway, it’s still a good contribution for the left.

If I remember correctly, he even celebrated Howard Zinn‘s death and wished Chomsky the same in the very same tweet.
