The jobmarket is absolutely fucked. In a state of catastrophy. I think we can all, from one perspective or another, agree on that. But who, actually, is talking about it? There seems to be an absolutely deafening silence on the subject 'our jobs are being stolen/liquidated - what are we going to do to fight it?'

In my life I have met nothing but cowardly faggots who will use denial to run away crying from every single serious issue of freedom and equality. And their denial is always in support of this terrible modern society we have. The 'status quo'. Conformism.

This is different.

The theft and destruction of jobs, is the destruction of these conformists' way of life itself. Their denial comes from the idea 'lets follow all the other idiots, and not do anything for ourselves. I'm a coward.' This conformism is the reason for every human problem this Earth has. But now that the Conformist way of life - getting a job - is being destroyed... I dont hear anybody speaking out! No threats, no protests, no violence, no campaigns. Nothing.

Many of you are going to be trying to get a job when you graduate. Some before. Some long after. Some of you will have your jobs taken, or you already have seen your job, your livelihood, disappear. This affects almost every one of my generation, and the one after it.

But people are still using Amazon. Using the new screens at McDonalds. Cocksucking at the rotors of drones. Druelling at the progress of robotics. Even looking up to the fascist 'automats' who are willfully destroying hundreds or thousands of millions of jobs. For their own financial - or political - gain.

If you're unemployed, young, or already 'redundant'... doesn't this automation make you angry? Very, very angry?

The stakes couldnt be much higher.

So: Either 1. you're pro-conformism and thus against this new war on capitalist employment, or
2. you're against modern society and conformism.

Please explain your silence.

A columnist for the Sunday Times in Ireland has been fired, and told that he "will not write again" for the newspaper after one of his articles was branded "misogynistic", "anti-Semitic" and "disgraceful". A News UK spokesman said the column included "unacceptable comments both to Jewish people and to women in the workplace", and that an apology will also be printed in next week's paper, in addition to the grovelling personal apologies offered by the paper's editor, Martin Ivens.

In the piece, titled "Sorry, ladies - equal pay has to be earned", Kevin Myers suggested that BBC presenters Claudia Winkleman and Vanessa Feltz earned the highest salaries of any females employed by the BBC because they were Jewish. Commenting on the two of them, Mr Myers wrote: "Good for them. Jews are not generally noted for their insistence on selling their talent for the lowest possible price, which is the most useful measure there is of inveterate, lost-with-all-hands stupidity." In the article, Mr Myers also argued that male presenters may earn more because they "work harder, get sick less frequently and seldom get pregnant".

It was taken down following anger on social media and a formal complaint from the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism. The group claimed that the removal of the article and apology from editors within hours was "proof that the decision to include the column was irrefutably wrong". The group, which successfully called for Mr Myers' sacking, also called Myers a "vile, sexist, misogynistic anti-Semite", and said he should "no longer work as a journalist at any decent publication".

So then, what are your opinions of Kevin Myers' article, of what he said in it, and of the massive reaction to it?
