Autophagy is the 50¢ word for an organism that digests itself. Destructive behavior but it happens.

Socialist Publication Current Affairs Fires Staff for Doing Socialism
Nathan J. Robinson, editor-in-chief of the socialist magazine Current Affairs, has fired most of its staff for trying to start a worker co-op, workers wrote in a letter posted on Twitter on Wednesday morning.
"We, the former full and part-time staff, write to you with deep sadness and disappointment about the recent events that have occurred at Current Affairs," a letter signed by five fired staffers said.
"On August 8th, editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson (author of Why You Should Be a Socialist) unilaterally fired most of the workforce to avoid an organizational restructuring that would limit his personal power. Yes, we were fired by the editor-in-chief of a socialist magazine for trying to start a worker co-op."
One of the fired editors, Cate Root, posted on Twitter about the firings. "It was a profound pleasure to help writers bring the best version of their work to the public. It brought me so much joy and meaning, and I will miss it terribly," she wrote.
Heh - congitive dissonance. You can write about something and promote it but try to implement it here and you are gone. After all, we are the elite. We know how you little people should live - we know this better than you could ever hope to. We are here to "nudge" you into a proper life. Got to love liberal hypocrisy.
