We have just had the first mutual education event in Tokyo, with about 10 people attending. Our topics included a popular (among programmers) math of Category Theory, Computer Programming in general, ブラック企業(shameless shady corporations with bad will 😅) , Capitalism's Illegitimacy and yes, worker cooperatives! Join us and tell your friends, we will probably have another meeting in a month!

I don't know about other countries but I heard this kind of "punishment" is common for whistleblowers in Japan - what a country of sheep and conformists! A municipal government employee has been quarantined in a private office after embarrassing his colleagues by reporting accidental overtaxing!
Having said that though, this could become a pretty good job? 😄
