    The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.

      Yeah actually mental.

      What he calls ‘dedication’ is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.

      It’s desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead ‘leaders’ like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a ‘positive work ethic’

      So out of touch with real people.

        What are “people?”

        You mean the objects that exist to further my ambitions, and accumulation of wealth?

        Not my problem.

      He’s been brainwashed to exalt capitalist culture, probably by his parents and their social circle.

    Yeah, we need more of the “I’m so desperate I have to keep working even though my town is being shelled” mentality here in the United States of Freedom! That’s the dream our forefathers fought for!

    If Americans would just socialize in real life and stop using these companies, then they wouldn’t get ad revenue and they would go away. I block all fucking ads. I have contingencies. I VPN all the fucking time. I lie about my telemetry. I have a recursive DNS server. I mean I do everything I can. The internet has become walled gardens and hostile towards working people. It is a front in the class war. Some people are just late to show up to the party. I use my Boomer mother who’s too stubborn to adopt my methods and also probably doesn’t have the cognitive abilities as my control group. Being a pessimist and not trying is you locking yourself up in your own chains. My mom’s phone rings off the hook daily. While mine rings about once a week. we use the same phone. Two phones, same model phone. I do not use Facebook because I’m not a beta cuck or any of these things. I do not use Twitter. I do not use Reddit. I do not use GitHub. I don’t use any of these fucking things. If I had a job that required these services, I would create a computer that was just for work, and I would take the battery out of it when I got home. I would never connect it to my own internet. You pay for something and then they milk you. Now tell me how does that make sense? The problem with America is a nation of uber-cucks. This is war! At the end of the day, if it gets worse than this, I am willing to smash every computer I have. But I don’t need to do that, because I don’t have Windows Management System. I don’t use Mac. core boot baby. If you want a future worth living for, then try harder. The last thing you want to do is bring work home. I will return to the office and I would hope the workers that I worked with wanted to have a union. I don’t shit where I eat.

    This is the corporate behavior Libertarians never want to discuss. Their Elysium where corporations treat everyone well and don’t destroy things out of some unforced understanding that to do so would place them at a major disadvantage is a farce. There will always be disparity, and corporations will leverage that to pay the poorer less than the better off, dump waste where there are no rules, and drive people to keep working while bombs fall near their homes.

      No Libertarians have that philosophy.

      Their philosophy is “No one should stand in my way to make profit, and I should never have to spend one cent on anything I don’t want to.”

      Libertarians are hardcore Republicans who are smart enough to not state they are Republicans. They are True Believer Objectivists, and there is nothing admirable about them.

        He’s a Dartmouth alum, too. I can tell you as a New Hampshire native that we’d be in a better place if that fascist finishing school for nepo baby cunts was wiped from the planet.

          Harvard can fuck right off too denying degrees on behalf of the zionists, MIT wasn’t much better threatening to suspend anyone pro Palestine. Brown at least negotiated with protestors, that’s something I suppose.

          For all the talk of the ‘liberal elite’ in the Ivy League there are a LOT of old money nepo racists and institutions built around them.

    i thought he was going to say something like “I got this message, look how horrifying our foreign policy is and how it affects random innocent people” but he just instead decided to go “hey wanna exploit some labor overseas for cheap? consider hiring someone currently getting carpet bombed; it’s so lucrative!” fucking psycho

    “I live in a poor and war-torn country so I will work for a low wage even while my home might be bombes”

    Captialist nut jobs: “So dedicated!”

    I swear, if it was legal to execute employees they would do it everyday because “that’s what it means to be a good CEO” or some shit

      They’d sell their organs first.

      “Today is mandatory skin, bone marrow, and liver donation day. There might be pizza. Employees with moret han one kidney have to refer to HR.”
