Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I’ve been working on this for years but its fucking hard.

Not just because things like gardening and making your own bread takes effort to do and learn, but because TO DO THOSE THINGS YOU STILL NEED PRODUCTS.

AND THEN YOU FIND OUT THAT THE SEED COMPANY YOU WENT TO THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INDEPENDENT IS CONTRACTED BY FUCKING RAYTHEON OR SOME SHIT AND THE LOCALLY SOURCED BAKING SODA YOU BOUGHT TO MAKE YOUR OWN SHAMPOO IS OWNED BY NESTLE AND THE DEER YOU BOW HUNTED WAS ACTUALLY BRED FOR HUNTING BY A BLACKWATER SUBSIDIARY AND EVERYTHING IS JUST OWNED BY LIKE 10 EVIL ASS COMPANIES!!

Which is why I truly think we are past the point where boycotts can be effective anymore.

On one hand, the choice to be ethical is seen by corporations as a meaningless consumer choice, like picking between two breakfast cereals; on the other hand it helps develop the mindset that will be needed to reform society as time goes on: Long-term thinking, collectivism. Yes it is hard to try to do the right thing when your actions have no perceivable impact.

I’ve always said CEO is a job that most on its face presents the nepotism of class. You’re a rich CEO? You will be able to get jobs as rich CEO, just for the simple fact that you are part of that class. It really made me angry when I learned how rarely CEO’s are chosen from inside the company.

You don't hire a company man to be CEO for the same reason you send out-of-state national guard to put down a protest.
