I'm sure they're watching the reddit situation very closely.

Capitalism has robbed us of more than we could ever even imagine. To the point where most people don't even realize they've been robbed. It's tragic.

We live in a society where amoral, faceless corporations are more valued than actual human life. And those corporations have so much power over people, and their cognition, that the majority have been tricked into consenting to this perverted system against all of their interests. And I would love for someone to explain to me why there should ever be a distinction between the people producing something, and the people/corporations that own the means of that production. Why should these be two different groups, and why in the FUCK would the class that doesn't do any actual goddamn work, make 300x more money? It's fucking disgusting.

But on the other hand, they said they were going to lower taxes. And also, trans people exist, so........

This is the most lukewarm, wishy washy, "enlightened centrist" shit I have ever read. Like,

So its a long attrition based slug war which can only be fought when we love our fellow Americans and stop listening to hate everywhere around us.

???

What are you fucking talking about? This is some next level naivety.

This is like when fast food places ask if you want to round your order up to the next dollar to donate to x cause.

Like, no, Taco Bell, I don't want to pay you so you can turn around and get credit (both in terms of laundering their image, and for tax purposes) for my donation.

Try using reader mode in your browser (the little rectangle with horizonal lines on it next to the URL). You may need to click refresh. But also, maybe keep this tip on the DL because sites are already starting to catch on and block it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I haven't been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.

"Landed gentry"... Because that's what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.

Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like "enshittification"? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.

There is a term that describes this behavior that we've been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.

I'm pretty sure these employees weren't being forced to attend. So it would be more like you getting pissed off because some of your fellow employees decided to organize a get together at a bar to watch the World Cup. And, because you don't like soccer, you decide nobody should be able to attend.

Fucking bullshit

If you are getting this upset and offended by "Peaches Christ..." By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer... Maybe it's time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.

Are you also offended by the title "Jesus Christ Superstar"?
