It’s not, it really is that bad, and more than a dozen of them since lost their job and messaged me saying that the blogpost is much more real than they could’ve ever imagined.

The everything is terrible and we’re being attacked/losing model, and the everything is great and we’re winning model.
The incumbent group benefits from the ‘everything is great’ model because incumbents generally always lose when the economy is in the crapper.
And because this has turned into an existential fight between these two delusional world views, anyone trying to notice the actual reality gets attacked/gaslit/etc.
Notably, also the opposite world view - if allowed to win - will definitely eat everything it touches and destroy damn near everything.
It’s imperative we get our heads out of our asses and actually deal with the real world here before we get drug off the cliff.
