You haven't been through border security?

Well I think it's because we do have a concept of leftwing authoritarianism already, but it's not called progressivism, it's called being a Tankie. I see the similarities in that if fascist is the extreme of conservatism then Tankie is the extreme of progressivism but that isn't really the case seeing that extreme progressivism is most of the time Anarchism.

"yeah I read theory" - worst person you'll ever meet

Well yeah you aren't exactly wrong, but if we are talking about the very basic ideas of "progressive" and "conservative", Tankies are basically authoritarians with the vineer of being left wing. They in the end go against basically everything they think they stand for, but those are basically the people who are pointing to when people go "well the communist are just as bad!"

It's honestly rather stupid

I do agree that it ends up looking like a political compass, which for your average person makes it easier to understand. However this kind of discounts that to be authoritarian is also to give up many of the things that make left ideology left. Meanwhile libertarian ideology tends to naturally devolve back into feudalism.

I'm not an expert on the application of political philosophy for societal change. I'd say that is something you should look into from anarchist literature as many scholars have done deep into the application of left wing ideology without authoritarianism.

Though I'm also a bit confused on what you mean by "authoritarianism". From your examples the first is an interaction between two people about public health and the other is someone not following a rule about respecting protected characteristics and being punished by it. I don't think those would be classified as "authoritarian" unless the definition of authoritarian is "receiving backlash for my actions which can harm others"

Yeah most résumé analysis is done through an ATS not raw ChatGPT, those have their own issues but they aren't just LLMs processing your résumés

Your average small time HR person is either basically the admin for an entire company or some office grunt who just fell into the job. I'm really unsurprised by this as an Organizational Psychologist I've basically seen it all in terms of terrible practice.

Hilarious labour law violation 😂

Lemmy is less popular and therefore more niche, meaning you'll get smaller communities with stronger opinions, and therefore way more political extremism

Well that wouldn't really be a meme then but yeah this meme is kind of shit
