I'm just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, "reading is for liberals." Because you know it's coming.

I would say it's one or two years away. Two more years and the first person in congress is called a faggot for reading

Tf is removed?

Some instances remove profane words automatically from the posts, and it ends up getting propagated across the Lemmyverse.

They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they're told.

Yup, looks like the long game is to keep them uneducated, pissed off and armed to the teeth.

They say it now just not publicly.

I strongly believe it.

Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these "huddle" meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.

The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.

One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, "Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?"

idiot corporate managers who insist on the word 'huddle' instead of 'meeting'. Ugh.

Kinda used to all the corpo lingo. I'm pretty sure I'm one of those bad business folks you take out in a cyberpunk game

Remember to stand still facing windows and walls, walk/stand under heavy but precariously-placed objects, things like that ^.^
