He's a brown guy immigrated to NA and writing on a Marxist magazine. I don't believe in reducing the personal to the biographical like Americans do, but also I think you can guess the answer to a few of your questions.

I would add exploitation of precarious workers both in the USA, Europe and third-world countries.
That said, were you involved in Alphabet Workers Union? If not, why?
In Italian it's not really used. There's an extremely fringe group of people who use singular pronouns "Io" (I) but plural adjectives and participles. "Io sono andati" instead of "Io sono andato" or "Io sono stanchi" instead of "Io sono stanco".
These are regarded as people who spend too much time on Tumblr and consume American media even within the most militant corners of the transfeminist movement, so it doesn't have much traction.
Most of the discourse is about gender-neutral language rather than pronouns.
To add to the confusion, Italian has no neutral gender, only male and female, but it retains neutral pronouns: esso/essi. The problem is that by ending in "o", most people think this is an alternative masculine pronoun and use it interchangeably with the masculine pronouns "egli" or "lui".

No union in the world asks rates that high. You've been probably have been served some kind of management union busting material if you have ever seen a number that high. 3% is considered very high already.
Anyway AWU is not necessarily trying to bargain for higher wages, but they do work on better job security, better working environments, fairness against abuses, sexual harassment and similar stuff, and obviously they support the political work of anti-genocide groups within Google.
There's always a reason to join a union if you're a worker.

online larpers performing opinion politics rather than active politics hate nuance. It’s pointless to argue with them. Just let them rot in their forgotten corner of the internet. There’s a future out there to win.

it’s not the USA. You can’t just do that. There are workers’ protections against stuff like this.
