Amazon are trash - they could be investing in those exoskeleton suits that would actually make it easy for warehouse employees without any risk of injury, plus you wouldn't have the massive turnover.

only one such documented story, I've got so many anecdotal ones...
Yep. A friend's husband killed himself after a similar sitch and my best friend is paralyzed for life from a work related back injury that could have been fixed if he got treatment (that he couldn't afford) earlier.

sure, the postmodernists don't believe in these overarching historical narratives not even the one Marx had

still, Foucault considered himself a Marxist if I'm not mistaken
He was but he wasn’t a class reductionist like you call me. He thought there were other forms of power and subjection.

yeah prior to helping invent post modernism he was a Marxist

Wasn't the fact that a post modernist outlook is not at all compatible with Marxism part of the big criticism against Jordan Peterson's terminology? How exactly would you square the two?

I’m becoming more and more convinced that post-modernist is a meaningless label.

He talks in fascinating but often meaningless circles

that's a simplistic response but a more coherent response was made by various people on YouTube detailing how post modernism and Marxism basically conflict with each other

I was asking if you have a counter argument for why they're actually compatible. I wasn't defending Peterson or asking for opinions on him.
