It’s true that everyone should be helping out the social whole to the best of their ability but to measure that solely in their ability to do a job making capitalists money then your measurement stick is fucked to begin with.

In a vacuum sure people should share the burden. They, we, have a responsibility to do that. Not fulfilling that responsibility could be called lazy. The idea that a job shows social worth is rooted in the assumption that the job benefits society. That any job does, really.

At the same time if my job is making mustard gas at the death factory then how am I helping society? If my job is selling candy to pre-diabetic kids does me not being lazy cancel out the social deterioration my job causes?

Proponents of capitalism are not qualified to discuss what laziness is because they can’t tell the difference between benign and malign activities so long as they make money.

Further, from a Marxist sense, telling someone they are lazy because they don’t volunteer themselves into a relationship where the bulk of their labor value is siphoned off so the money can sit in the Cayman Islands or whatever is laughable.

Imagine the meltdown when the mule just stops cooperating because its a mule and they do that. Famously they do that.

They’d be fully justified

Casually tossing around the word “bastard” in a country that still does primogeniture

In traditional Catholic views Pride is actually closer to blasphemy/apostasy than anything else. By taking “pride” in your accomplishments you reject the alternative: thanking God. You’re tacitly saying God wasn’t involved. You pair that up with the idea that all non-Christian religion is rooted in primordial satanic trickery. You get the idea that pride is akin to rejecting God and doing self worship because you aren’t worshipping God and being humble. Satan is everywhere God isn’t. But Satan can only be where God isn’t and being unholy is doing bad so Satan only really exists in bad choices people make and not acknowledging the primacy of God in all things is a bad choice and therefore the sin of pride.

Bloomberg is still paying out lawsuits to unpaid staff.

But wait I thought he was a “real” billionaire unlike Tdrumpft

Why is he shirking his payouts just like that dang cheeto!?

HBO exec suggests former employees to “go back and watch some of the Dr Melphi sessions from the Sopranos” if they’re feeling bad about being laid off.

Man who Indulges his Loving wiFe

Yeah I’m a milf, ladies

Damn I almost made this exact joke last night at work

And what are these chuds going to do about it besides fantasize about a revenge on their racialized other? Build a better world so women and children of all cultures can be free of patriarchal violence? No? Gonna make this moribund world slightly more racist and reactionary with each subsequent neoliberal vote is more likely.

The Blackwater shit was a big chunk of the entire lodestone of bullshit that was the 2003 invasion of Iraq that fully commie pilled me.

Seeing the results and the price tag per mercenary made me want to go full people’s war on anyone or anything responsible.

Thank God they saved something out of the collapse. Strong, principled unions with open communist ideals? Hell yeah.

The Israelis were happy to stoke the “it’s an ancient conflict - so complicated” narrative that people used as an excuse to ignore it

It’s the correct analytical framework for understanding the modern imperial capitalism that ignores national borders

Yeah its really hard to justify the benign aspects of consumer products like ring cameras against it invariably being used by an increasingly militant surveillance state.

Somewhere out there a middle aged chud is sweating over a sewing machine making a green M&M costume. If asked why they answer, sincerely, “politics.” Fox did that.

There’s my Hexbear lathe energy
