Extremely fascinating

Wages are not determined by the employed, but by the competition of the unemployed, who rather than starve, will accept any wages on which they can barely subsist

My friend found a book called history of the middle and working class written by some Brit named John Wade and published in 1833 and it seems like he beat Marx to the punch on a lot of shit (he would’ve been a teenager)

Also, does this not sound like the reserve army of labor?

“…Here then we should have a new caste of population, encouraged, and virtually called into being, who are constrained by their lot to live as a sort of bondmen beneath the par of human liberty and enjoyment, and whose very presence in the land would operate as a depressing incubus on the condition of the working people. They would form a body of reserve, from whom masters might indefinitely draw in every question of wages between themselves and their men, and by means of whom, therefore, they could, as in a market overstocked with labour, bring down infinitely its price

Makes me think that maybe we should appeal to other randos who repeated Marxist talking points to show that these ideas have always existed (who am I kidding that probably wouldn’t help)

And that LLM is going to be treated better than you when things start to cook, you best believe it lmao

Almost like we should do something about this

Lmao hot damn how tf are people trying to immediately appeal to authority when everyone not embedded in the DNC cult can see that Joe Biden’s brain is aging?

Apparently he needs a medical diagnosis by a party-cleared doctor before we can comment. Funny, that

Most of the working class are quite uneducated so it makes sense, yeah

Is there a good way to dispose of plastic? This shit thoroughly radicalizes me, especially the carbon footprint angle of it all

This shitshow should be all the evidence you need to understand why Americans deserve VERY limited rights

I tried so hard for so long to give the average person the benefit of the doubt, but my latest interaction with insurance companies has made my atheistic ass beg irrationally for some type of Lenin to take out the trash. Insurance companies and other capitalist pigs are the Russian tsars but with exponentially more power and influence.

As I grow older, I just realize how dumb I was having hope for Bernie in 2020, as if shit would’ve changed at all in this archaic country that is designed to fuck over anyone who didn’t benefit from generational wealth

These choices really show us how much fucking freedom we have huh lmao

I’m fucking ready. Please nuke this shithole

amerikkka needs to be humbled so badly i can’t really put it into words. So many people are just way too fucking comfortable and that’s why things remain absolute shit

 

Maybe those go hand-in-hand but when I tell you it’s bad, it’s bad. I am the person who is clowned for not recognizing x country on a map

What would be the best way to complete such a feat

 

I know some people who watch leftish content (mostly just for entertainment) on YouTube and when those people tell me something makes them mad, my first instinct is to encourage them to do something on the end.

When I hear those types of reactions, I almost look at it like theory through an entirely different medium. Does that make sense or is this just a case where I should let people enjoy things

Just saw madame web (hexbear.net)

It was definitely a movie. It also definitely made white men very angry, I guarantee it.

 

This probably didn’t make sense to anyone, but maybe it’ll make sense to someone

 

Kinda sad to think about, the internet as we know it is sorta on life support. We’re like steps away from blending our personal life with our work life. Shit’s terrifying

I’m probably just talking consequences of enshitification. But it’s so wild that it’ll get worse agony-shivering

 

Idk man. In every org I’ve been apart of, there comes a time where you can slowly start to see people suddenly switch their use of language and become fully engulfed by whatever “system” they belong to. Corporate America, church, clubs, it’s kinda fucking terrifying to see in real time. And the people who notice this happening/tell people to check themselves never seem to have enough power/authority to get it to stop. And then it fucking spirals out of control and you’re dealing with borderline cults.

What’s the fucking antidote

 

When I was younger, that was something that I didn’t consider whatsoever. Epitome of soypoint-1

I kinda wish I could turn it off and on but that hasn’t seemed possible. Feels like I’m always reading into what used to just be slop and can’t really pinpoint when things changed 😅

Does this make sense?

 

Almost feels like my brain is broken or some shit.

I’m looking at the pricing of houses in my area and comparing it to my salary, and how the actual fuck is anyone affording a house these days? We’re talking almost half a million for a house that takes <2 days to build and is practically an irl copy and paste of some of the homes down the street. What the actual fuck. It seems like I’m the only one (though I know I’m not) who sees how this is completely at odds with everything I learned about the world.

Also, so salaries. How the fuck are they determined? Because it certainly isn’t the result of how much actual work you do, I’m making nearly six figures and I do jack shit yet I’m supposed to just be OK with how morally repugnant that is, as if I’m not also a piece upholding the same utterly corrupt system as well?

Fuck if I know, I try to say this shit to people irl and they just tell me that the world’s not fair blah blah blah. Yeah homie, “not fair” is quite possibly the biggest understatement ever.

I very much understand what people say when they say that money is not real. Feel free to grill my complete ignorance of Econ too if you wish, maybe it’s just something I’ll never understand

Was thinking about this last night. I have friends who I really don’t know anything about on an emotional level because I’ve drilled into my head it’s a conversation meant to be shared in therapy. But there’s also a part of me that sees the value in getting to know people as humans and not just their 9-5 selves. I have fem-presenting friends who seem to be more open to these types of conversations, but I genuinely want to find the line between sharing and over sharing. As a man, It’s pretty depressing to think about tbh, knowing other men for decades but not really knowing anything about them besides their favorite teams or beer.

Is this a thing that’s exclusive to males? Also, if you have any good literature recommendations for this topic please drop below 😅

 

I think the importance of these meds is understated because stimulants have greatly reduced my anxiety and increased my overall quality of life. When I take them, shit just finally quiets down in my head and I can focus on what I need to do.

But a damn agency (formed because the government hates black and poor people) is keeping others from a marginally better life in a capitalist hellscape. Pure dystopian poetry. Couldn’t make this up if you tried
