Why does your profession keep altering things that are not broken? Enginerds keep fucking with products that function fine. Time after time I am called upon to diagnose and fix problems on machines that previously did not have this issue, which in itself is not unusual, what is unusual is the way in which a machine is taken apart is so counter productive that it demonstrates a huge lack of common sense on part of the engineer. The sheer number of bolts, the thread and size of the bolts held in place is also widely oversized as to be comical, the torque values one must reach to have the function efficiently is also far higher than the flimsy metal I am securing can handle.

Are you threatens with dismissal if you do not actively change functioning equipment?

I simply disagree. I agree that jews have an insular culture, but i disagree about the extent of any Jewish conspiracy. For example, I watch and enjoy Jon Stewart, and I don't believe he is part of some Jewish conspiracy, he is just a liberal guy who was born Jewish, and while that probably gave him an "in" into the industry, that doesn't mean he is a parrot for a shadowy organization.

My point here is that /pol/ discounts the fact that jews are just as singular of individuals as anyone else. You can be born Jewish and beinift from that culture of jews helping jews without being part of some massive goy placating conspiracy.

Jews act as a collective as demonstrated by unquestioning loyalty to israel of their elite and groups such as b'nai b'rith and many others devoted to "world jewry".

So? He's loyal to world jewry, not leftism. Ben shapiro and other jews do that stuff as well, that doesn't refute the idea of a jewish collective identity. Will he ever start criticizing jewish power and israel/jewish hypocrisy? Talking ahout how jews use the holocaust narrative for money and power?

The entire media, Jewish or not, exists to brainwash the "cattle." The alt media is basically owned by Ben Shapiro and exists on YouTube and through a couple podcasts.

These talking heads might appear to have points going against the tide but really its such a narrow spectrum of debate. Are tranny kids a good thing? (no) Do we need to see more black people on tv? (no, and who cares). These types of issues stick out like a sore thumb in normal conversation because they aren't terribly relevant to most people. The volume of attention that it attracts is the real poison; rousing both sides with the intention of quantity, not quality. A bit like shaking a ball in front of a dog before throwing it.

Idk why this got me but they should be non-issues. So why are we doing abominable things to our children, or waddling around obese even though you don't have to? Why now? There's a switch going on at the moment, the friction we once had with nature is losing traction. All the great things we had, painted ceilings and marble busts were made by people looking up but surrounded by filth and a short life. Now we're stuck in the habit but have to emulate it ourselves.
