Look I’ve dealt with Vaush’s creepy cult for fucking years and the bullshit I’ve had to endure from them has left me with zero sympathy for them. Especially at this point, where we know the dude has pedo hentai on his fucking computer, anyone STILL defending him after that I have no patience for. If you want to try and pull them over fine but sorry I’m not ever going to want to be in a room alone with any of those fucks. It’s so blatantly obvious what a creep that dude is at this point I really don’t buy anyone leaving his community ONLY NOW is doing it out of genuine self reflection and not fear that even more damning proof that he’s a pedo and likely and Op comes out and isn’t just trying to save face.

Well clearly the issue has NOTHING to do with housing costs cuz the only homeless people I notic… I mean, ever see, clearly have severe mental health problems. So the best solution is to chase them into the desert like lepers.

Yeah we really need to drop this whole “only leftists are creative” shit. People with crap politics can make good art, and on the flip side leftists can be artistically incompetent, look at me! I couldn’t write a short story good enough to impress a cockroach!

I’m starting to regret it. I really did pick the worst time to try and get into tech.

Oh well guess forklift operation for me!

Other tech workers on Blind expressed a similar level of discontent. Insider didn’t independently verify the users’ identities.

Okay, I don’t doubt there’s a lot of snotty smug tech workers, but I will say this article is just reporting on anonymous posts on a forum. I know tech workers and while they can be douchebags I don’t think any of them would be this AGAST at learning delivery drivers were making about as much as them. They’d probably just shrug it off and say “well I guess they have a good union”.

He’s a breadtube sort of leftist that used to send me videos of that one greasy debate bro we’re not supposed to mention

I hate to tell you, but there ain’t no such thing as an ex-Vaushite. Anybody who falls for that blatant huckster for more than five minutes is a deeply un-serious person on a base level and shouldn’t be trusted with making toast. Even if you talk them out of the Vaush cult they’ll just find another one in a month or so. Just drop the loser.

OUTDOOR CATS!!!

I’m curious how old this sign is cuz it feels like most Libs have moved past this. They were fine with all the evil shit the GOP was up to before but since Trump ruined brunch I quite often see them openly fantasize about carpet bombing every red district in the US.

Why are we scared of Trump then?

I think there is something of a “class between” the working and ruling, of people who don’t quite run the system but are protected by it enough that they have an incentive to defend the people who do run it. Perhaps there’s better ways of describing them.

This gets said a lot here but honestly I’m a bit skeptical. There certainly does seem to be a strata of society who, while not capitalists, are doing well enough under capitalism that their interests don’t align with the proletariat at large. Perhaps there are more accurate terms, like “labor aristocrat” or whatever, but in American parlance, it does end up getting translated to middle class. And we see it in American politics, Trump’s most active supporters fit almost perfectly into the American perception of what we call “upper middle class”.

Also, I’m not the biggest Marx expert and I kind of suck at remembering sources, but I’m pretty sure both Marx and Engels have actually talked about this. Marx did use the term middle class on occasion, and Engels talked about how the workers of certain wealthy nations were “bourgeois proletariat” because they had access to market speculation through stocks and real estate.

I think this is the first time there’s been a discussion of a legacy poster where I didn’t recognize their username.

Uh, it’s actually Ms. Bazongazs

Covid believes in you

Stav finishing Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep?: “Was that shit supposed to have happened?”

Udick (in my mouth)

VPN?

He’d need the backing of the military and most of the bourgeoisie to actually install himself as dictator. He has neither, the current neoliberal order is working just fine for the people in power right now.

It’s cuz he’s a Lib

It was like the most popular show on earth for a while. I just think there’s a lot of fan in every demo.
