No, sorry, the average person who works in HR or compliance does not think this, and believing that they do marks you out as someone liable to start barking at cars.

Dunno if I'm reading too much coherence into this drivel, but that's an uhhh interesting distinction they're drawing between the governmental state (the bureaucratic class loves it, it is their source of power and purpose) and the nation state (the bureaucratic class hates this one weird trick)

To repeat myself: the average person who works in HR, or compliance, indeed the average person *on the left*, let alone the great mass of working age people who did not vote Conservative in 2024, does not agree with this, and believing they do identifies you as someone who badly needs to touch grass

Imagining any of the HR people I know thinking deeply about the nation state is a real stretch. Thinking they do their job with this in mind, is well out there 🤔

I don’t get what this is in contradistinction to. Being a vizier for a sultan? The mandarinate in imperial China? Or is it just the EU again?

100% ideologue for an imaginary nation

It's so odd. HR & compliance people are there to protect the company & its interests. They don't give a shit about political power if they're good at their jobs. Sales & strategy people try hard to understand politics but often have to divorce themselves from it or they have compromised strategies

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have terrible news as to the exact relationship between bureaucracy and the nation state.

95% of the time when someone invents a group to write about them and calls them "the ____ class" they basically mean about four people they dislike.95% of the time when someone invents a group to write about them and calls them "the ____ class" they basically mean about four people they dislike.
