"In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic." - K.M.

In tech, is there really a need, though? All of this year's new hires I've met communicate exclusively in English. No-one cares.

The housing crisis is prevalent everywhere in Europe, though. But it's not like droves of people have to sleep rough. Yes, rents keep going up, but they are still only a fraction of what you would pay in the US.
And you can actually still buy houses. Really cheap, even. Far off the highways, but some people opt in to exactly that.

'Member that song "74-75" by The Connells? That was a big hit in the Nineties.
We're now at 31 years after the release of this single and 49 years after the class of 1975 graduated.

Hard disagree. Else, there would never be any revolution, but history shows otherwise.
Or, as Marcuse put it, the prerequisite for radically rejecting something is not that you have to know what will come afterwards, but at first, you'll enter a process of rejection of the existing situation and during this process of rejection, you'll gradually free yourself from shackles and figure out what is to come next.

She's ferocious, and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush.

As you might remember, it used to be called "information superhighway." As it turns out, not only does it make information flow faster from A to B, it also divides people that lie to either side of the road, in a metaphorical sense.
Required reading See especially figure 3b. TLDR: Increased information access and increased connections lead to more echo chambers.

It does. Because now somebody can jerk YOU off, and it won't inflate your own score.
