Also, they need to remove the ideologists there first, if they want to be able to replace the ideologists in other positions.

Ideologist compared to what? A normal person or a Twitter employee? I imagine pretty much every employee at Twitter is an ideologue because I have doubts that a non-ideologue would be able to stomach working there.

I've never encountered someone in tech who didn't have some kind of ideology. What is particularly troubling to you about the ideology of the people laid off?

If I were a shareholder I'd say that it isn't compatible with capitalism and I feel that would be a sufficient answer.

What is "it"? As in the ideology, both what it is and what about it is troubling. You didn't answer the question.

You know exactly what "it" is.

You must be one of those folks who struggles to understand other people have a different experience, different priorities, and different knowledge and that you have to actually communicate the thing in your brain if you want other people to know it.

I understand, but I really have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not tapped into the Twitter meta.

Is there any evidence these layoffs are targeted at "ideologists"?
