I think it's worth a shot too, but this could go either way. If I were batman, I'd base their aversion to bad press on how much the cleaning standards at his BK have improved. Corps like them often have a big enough lawsuit fund to not give a **** about repercussions.

If he gets fired he’ll get unemployment. Fired for not coming in with a cough during a pandemic. It’s a slam dunk.

What fast-food workers at chains like McDonald's and Taco Bell wish customers knew about working through a pandemic

It’s just really depressing.

Jesus Christ - seriously. This country deserves to die.

Fast food in New York is still open so unless something crazy happens we are not closing. I could take two weeks off and then be expected to come in two weeks later because we'd still be open and the epidemic would be worse so I'd be in a worse situation. It's more like I need to quit.

Lol cleaning standards. They can give all the updated standards they want but when you're working in a restaurant that's flooded with business those standards go out the window cause the bosses of my bosses don't give a **** about anything but drive thru time. Just today we had an inspection by BK higher up to make sure we were complying with **** and the person was laughing that social distancing was impossible in a kitchen while she and my store manager were crowding the **** out of me inspecting ****.

New hygiene standards are a joke and everyone in the business knows it and just puts it out of their mind because slaves don't challenge their masters. You don't want to know how often I wash my hands when we're in a rush, which now is basically my whole shift.

I really am so disenchanted with the idea of revolutionizing anything. I'm tired of losing hope.

How do you go off the grid?

I'm hardwired to sneer at my fellow man and their illusions but while I'm full of self-indulgent **** in plenty of ways I legit don't think I'm wrong that the human race is hopeless as far as becoming anything worth putting your faith in. We innovate in amazing ways and can be great people in certain, small ways, but as a whole we're contemptible and so of course we needed a bat**** crazy book like the Bible to come along and just be like "OMG you're all so horrible what the **** is so hard to understand about 'love thy neighbor'?!" And so of course it failed but did give us countless genocides.

I suspect you start with not being raised in modern society where you're accustomed to modern convenience. Being from Wyoming probably gives you a serious leg up tbh. You should seriously look into a commune or something.

It's just that I've spent so much time trying to convince myself of the good in people for my own sanity, it doesn't feel like winning to give up.

I am honestly the perfect recruit for a cult, but no one has ever reached out to me. :(

I understand. Really I do. Most people are likable and mostly tolerable (at least in small doses) and plenty of people can surprise you, but that's been true presumably for all of history and yet here we are with history books full of depressing ****. And also here we are with all of these likable people who love their kids and want to help you out and not screw you over who'll blindside you over and over and over with the kind of **** I hear everyday that basically amounts to big L liberalism.

Nobody wants to help out anyone they don't think is pulling their weight and what they think is pulling their weight is always what they self-indulgently presume to be their own standards of pulling weight which does not include any consideration for lower physical ability, lower intelligence, difference in mentality, or difference in background. Perfectly nice people will proudly throw under the bus anyone who might be covered by the ideal of "from each according to his ability to each according to his need" because there's a million ways to rationalize how that person who needs more is simply a parasite.

The only thing considered is whether anyone else is annoying you by inconveniencing you.

It's also a fair criticism that millions of people died in the Holocaust for literally no reason except that Trump voters won in 1933.

It's good to read all the human hate. Join me in my dreams that one day there will be a button we can press to end human existence. Until such a time, be the least destructive person you can be.

Daddy Trumpbucks.

from what I understand the Nazis didn't exactly win their power democratically but I also don't vote because I'm lazy but I rationalize it as one vote never really makes a difference which has technically always been true. In order to create a logic for voting really mattering you have to assume you're a representative of a larger subset that will hopefully vote which obviously isn't what actually happens. I believe this is known as the free rider problem. I am the free rider.

If they made it online or something maybe

If I'm not even willing to show up every 4 years I'm certainly not willing to be constantly engaged in direct democracy

**** a workplace.

The robots will chain us to the grills.

sounds like you're referring to co-ops where I'm thinking more in terms of national policy

as they should.

Can I bunk with Donald?

yeah I don't see that happening

Dream a little. What can it hurt?

We live a lifestyle that is unsustainable. That means if we continue like this billions will die. Then if you offer a suggestion people disregard it like it’s ridiculous as if our actually reality isn’t. You hear “That’ll never work!” Well guess what? This **** isn’t working.

Our current political systems cannot take us another century as a species so clinging on to the status quo is infinitely more naive than embracing radical change.

Except people are stupid.

I want that but I think it’s going to take crazy levels totalitarianism to get there. That’s why I do feel sympathy for Stalinism. That whole thing of I want more than I need and defending private property to the death. So many people would need to die first before it could work. Capitalist brains need to stop living on this planet. There’s probably no other way to get there.

I don’t need another history lesson on why Stalin bad either. He’s flawed but so far he’s the best example of the process.

If Trump could trade capitalism for communism he’d love it. It’s terrible but I’d give him the reins if he started straight sending all property owners to their deaths. He needs a scapegoat. Class divisions could work, too. Hitler was a Jew. What’s it matter if the greatest communist is a capitalist? Trotsky called Stalin a capitalist. Stalin was a capitalist but most of the people he killed deserved it.

Stupid people will fall in line though.

In what world do you think an authoritarian gives power back to the people he's been killing?

If you can make actual socialism the new norm for a generation or two then maybe. But some time during that period I highly doubt everything doesn't go off track.

It’s a conundrum. Even so. Step one is killing property owners. Worry about step two after they’re dead.

So what. We’re so off track now we’re ablut to make the planet uninhabitable

Yeah that's how we ended up with a bunch of failed communist states and China. I don't know how Vietnam is doing tbh (I hear not bad) but I also don't know if they were ever as extreme as Russia or Cambodia.

Gotta keep trying!

I don't think poor countries flogging themselves to death on the altar of building the proletariat is a workable solution tbh, and hoping that we can just vote in people who'll enact socialism is obviously just as naive. I think we literally just have to wait for all those band-aids capitalism keeps applying to gaping wounds to stop working and for the world economy to finally collapse so hard that the populace irrevocably loses faith in the current system and then... pray the generals aren't too quick to the punch.

We are closer now than we’ve ever been!

Thank you Covid-19

I can't tell if you guys genuinely care about the poor or if you just hate people in general.

Yes.

They're living in a society.

Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize we live in a society too.

I change my mind a lot

I don’t have a personality that doesn’t hate rich people though

Deeper than a U2 song and twice as thicc.

Do you hate Batman?

Duh, Batman creates a wealth disparity that breeds crime from the desperate working class citizens of Gotham that can't make ends meat. Then he beats the living **** out of these desperate people with families they are trying to feed. Then he adopts their children, puts them in tights and forces them to fight crime with him which is technically also a crime but we all know rich folk are self righteous ****s that try to justify every evil thing they do. You ever wonder why there are so many crazy ****s in Gotham? Because they live in a trap designed by the Wayne corporation that does nothing but take from them and brutalize them when they don't fall in line and starve under the iron cleats that Bruce Wayne is literally stomping into their throats. Not once has Batman thought about improving the city by investing in proper mental health research and facilities or improving working conditions and he obviously isn't paying his employees ****. You seen Arkham Asylum? It's a ****ing **** hole! How is anybody supposed be helped there? Batman is garbage.
