Comments on: Bloggers sue Huffington and AOL https://thenewneo.com/2011/04/12/bloggers-sue-huffington-and-aol/ A blog about political change, among other things Wed, 13 Apr 2011 17:14:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.1 By: Artfldgr https://thenewneo.com/2011/04/12/bloggers-sue-huffington-and-aol/#comment-240252 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 17:14:39 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2011/04/12/bloggers-sue-huffington-and-aol/#comment-240252 And the poor damned fools keep coming back for more of the same.

the result of normalizing victim class dialectics.

or as erin pizzey said, some people are masochists, and if so, they tend to get their ‘fix’ negatively, than positively (as a game). which she coined in terms of domestic violence, that some gravitate to it, and make it happen, on both sides.

the other side of the coin is like what i am going through at work. the studies courses have told them things that dont work. like someone with less than 4 years experience is equal and surpases someone with 30 years experience… which is why they are promoted… and right now, my boss is pitting us against each other to see who can solve a problem that she created by lack of due diligence and wants to blame on me. well, poor guy, i have raced past him, and he has come over to see and get help. but i showed him the secret email which forbids me from helping him at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess he shouldnt have been loyal to her and screwed me… (but whats right is right, and she should know she is doing that to him with someone who can run rings around him on a bad day – but is assmed to be incompetent)

besides, if i am going to compete, he should know i am going to go balls out and he isnt going to look good BECAUSE of what she is doing.

she refuses to eat crow.
i hope she likes it
she has a big pile on her plate that will evntually catch up to her… (but i may be destroyed in the process)

its these broken methods of thinking and knowing which also creates the situation where they go to the only power they can, no matter how abusive it is.

which is why they promoted someone who is half my age, and not even experienced over me… that person believes they are promoted for competence, but the truth is that they are promoted for lack of it. this way they owe the boss everything. which is why she is screwing her own people and attempting to whip rocks to get more blood to make up for the HUGE mistakes she is making due to inexperience. (of course cassandra syndrome is at play here, see wiki. cant do aythig about unrealistic expectations)

they know, or think they kow, that if they promote competence, it can leave… and a incompetent slave is better to a power person with a kingdom who can roll bad off onto the chump… than a competent person who wants to be treated like a human being and can leave you in a lurch becuase of your bs.

So ZsaZsa screwed them by profiting from their unpaid labor?

Shame on ZsaZsa.

If the HuffPo writers continue to work for free, shame on them. (Fool me twice, shame on me.)

All the HuffPo writers need to do is withhold their services. Like Lysistrata. No more screwing.

I occasionally commented at HuffPo, but stopped when I realized that the other commenters were less concerned with facts and logic than they were with denouncing bigoted knuckle-dragging wingnuts. It was wasting my time.

If the HuffPo writers continue to write for free for someone who has profited from their services, and resent that, they are similarly wasting their time by continuing to write for free.

She’s not welcome here. I’m sure Soros will take care of her.

At the paper I worked at there were always a few freelance photogs who worked for very little with no benefits, really not much better than stringers. And they would work their butts off to get a chance to be full time, but they would become good photographers in the process. All in all it was a good system until the occasional “star” shooter would be hired in from a paper like the NY Times, and inevitably they would be no better than spoiled prima donnas.

NY State labor law requires that a company offer any full-time freelancers health benefits if they are there for over 9 months.

So what does the “progressive” oasis of Time Mag. do? They keep the copy editors (making $20/hour) on full time for 8 months, 2 weeks; then lay them off. For 2 weeks.

Then rehire them. Isn’t that special. Can we talk about hypocrisy now?

Or what about NYU? Adjunct “professors” make coolie wages. $1,000 for a semester teaching adult education courses. But they’re oh so concerned for the Working Man. /bah

Most gratifying. (The Slimes, I’ve heard from freelance writers, pays its freelancers coolie wages when they do condescend to pay you: of course, you’re supposed to swoon at the prospect of writing for the Gray Lady, you peasant.)

He was the point man on the Supreme Court case against the publishers who were stealing [yes, stealing] writers’ work by putting it on the internet without paying or asking permission. He ain’t always wrong. And he’s incredibly persistent, so Arianna better have her tin panties on.

I hope she gets toasted.

The aesthetics of it are wondrous to behold.

Still, we need to make sure we don’t hang ourselves much more spectacularly with Donald Trump, seeing as how he’s now talking about running independently if – when – he loses in the GOP primaries.

I couldn’t imagine a darker scenario for 2012. If he really is that selfish – as Hotair said, “Make me the Republican nominee or I’ll give Obama a second term” – then we conservatives owe it to ourselves to crush his ambitions, pronto. If he means what he’s saying, God help us.
