There are ideological differences on things like taxes, spending, etc. and then there are ideologies of hate.

There is nothing wrong with supporting conservative ideologies like low taxes and smaller government (even if I generally disagree with the policies that spring from that). There is something wrong with supporting someone who supports ignorance, bigotry, misogyny, racism, etc.

That doesn't lead to fascism or extremism. Supporting people who hold these views does, regardless of where they fall politically.

Lol I’m not a democrat.

No it’s not like saying Muslims are terrorists. It’s nothing like that. There are over a billion Muslims. Only the smallest fraction supports terrorist violence.

Ask how many republicans think political violence is justified. Or have many agree with racist sentiment When polled.

It’s not possible to have a “serious dialogue” with proud republicans anymore because they are incapable of good faith. Maybe not living in America has insulated you, but after almost half a century here I’m see it clear as day.

The problem is that companies want employees to be productive 100% of the time, which is simply not possible. They install software like that to ensure employees are on task as much as possible and oftentimes it's only used as a means to fire for cause when it's convenient for the company, or as a means to deny pay increases.

This management style is more prevalent in retail or food service ("if you got time to lean, you got time to clean"), but it's been creeping into other work sectors for a while now.

If you read this article there was clear admission of lying about logging hours by the employee. However, that aside I think software to track productivity is pretty garbage way in a lot of jobs to keep track of employees. Example, I do a ton of research as part of my job and often that's reading from books, or looking up things in hardcopy form that didn't come from my laptop. Also I do a fair amount of design or planning on a white board I keep next to my desk. Often my computer goes to sleep in those times but I'm definitely still working. Production metrics are way better measures of work than raw time in an application.
