The Asshole Mitigation Plan: Unmitigated assholes are everywhere, and everywhere they are, the damage they do disrupts fucking everything. Start seeing unmitigated assholes for who they are and start mitigating the damage they do. Even if it’s you.
Part 1: Intro – ACCOMMODATING ASSHOLES IS NOT A VIABLE LONG-TERM STRATEGY.
Part 2: Junk Emails – A case study in consent.
Part 3: POSIWID – The purpose of a system is what it does.
Part 4: Cheap and Easy Fixes – Why don’t we do them?
Part 5: “Doing Enough” and Despair – Fuck ICE.
Part 6: Micromanagement – Manipulation starts small.
Part 7: What IS an Asshole? – A fucking bootlicker, that’s what.
Part 8: Why Assholes? – Because it’s hard to separate bootlicking from competence.
Part 9: Apex Predators – What every assholes wants to be, but most aren’t.
Part 10: Black and White Thinking – It’s not “us” versus “them,” but systems of exploitation.
Part 11: Punishment vs. Accountability – Punishment changes behavior, often without us being aware of it. Accountability is conscious measurement.
Part 12: Invisible Costs, Avoidance, and Overwhelm – Overwhelm is rarely about the thing it seems to be about.
