It's May Day, bitches! Remember Blair Mountain and kill your local billionaire!
 

It's May 1st, International Worker's Day, and if you're at work you're a counter revolutionary.

Only if you're serving behind a counter.

Batlord thinks taking the day off work is revolutionary

Mean while some homeless guy around here set 4 state trooper cop cars on fire while the cops were inside 7/11

I took the week off, you white trash loser.

You took a paid vacation after cucking yourself to your BK overlords for years

Where as i just no call no show

So who's the real working class hero/transgressive piece of **** here?

Considering you're still married to the idea of "making something of yourself" within the paradigm of capitalism even while being a working class **** up who's clearly going to die poor if you don't align yourself with labor organizing I'd still say me. At least I have no moronic expectations and just take my days as they come expecting nothing.

I'm only married to the idea that through my own actions i can either improve or degrade my own life. You are so married to the idea that nothing you can do will matter and if even you find a job that paid better meh it wouldn't be worth it because xyz reason.. it's all part of the rationale for why you stay complacent and never fundamentally challenge yourself in the slightest. Because you're the victim. Poor you.

Oh is that what you call taking a tour of every dead end job in America?

In other news, my latest Mercedes Benz service cost me 1.5K - gets more expensive every year. Damn Putin, why you do this to me?

At least it's not a Ferrari. ;)

Christ aint that the truth.

My heart bleeds for you. As I look at my bus pass. :rolleyes:

I know you're only kidding with your last remark, but this reminds me of Spinal Tap: "We're very big in Bulgaria. And the other aria. In fact, I can't think of anyone who has benefitted more from the breakup of the Soviet Union than us."

"Uh, except maybe the Bulgarian people?"

"Oh. Oh yeah, them, I guess."

:laughing:

(not exact quote but close I think)

lol

Yes, when you treat jobs as expendable the same way they treat you as expendable, you tend to go through a lot of jobs.

But keep trucking along towards that BK pension, pal. If you never try anything then the sting of failure can never hurt you and that in itself is a sort of success... :rolleyes:

So you consider the musical chairs of ****ty jobs trying something? Or are the harebrained schemes of selling PS5s while you call yourself a hustler trying something? Or are you just a garden variety deadbeat?

Stop the immature bickering and direct your anger towards the Elon musks who deserve it

Go away we're having fun! How can you have a working class without pointless infighting and smears?

wtf i never called myself a hustler lol.

But if I'm being truthful ya the musical chairs of jobs isn't from any sort of ambition it's from 1) being unstable 2) using temps. I never really suggested otherwise i just think you seem to pride yourself on giving up all hope as if that's some sorta consolation prize and to me it's just not. It's a defense mechanism and i have my own variety of those that i use to cope such as fantasizing about easy money where as you fantasize about being part of some movement or whatever. I know some of the revolution **** is for memes but it just looks to me like yet another form of cope.

Nobody likes being a loser my friend. But if you ask me are all **** jobs equal my answer is no. So where as a couple dollars an hour difference maybe means nothing to you, to me it matters. That's the basic difference.

If you two started a podcast, I'd listen.

*cue dollar signs in my eyes*

Bitch you definitely did.

Of course it's a defense mechanism, you nitwit. Get on my irony level. I should think the idea of an incel living with his mother posting pseudo-insincere threads about revolution would obviously be ludicrous and cringe. I don't post memes I am the meme.

And I'm just trying to get through your thick skull that even if you're never going to storm the Bastille or even become a functional adult you can at least hold onto a shred of pride by not letting these capitalist scum colonize your brain with selfishness disguised as enlightened self-interest.

Tbh it would just us taking arbitrary positions on tits vs. ass and calling each other gay.

The irony is just something to hide behind. Once again.

The difference between aspiring for easy money vs attaching yourself to some kind of social movement is that either you make some quick money or you don't. That's a concrete thing to hope for that can be easily verified whether you fail or not. Where as your contribution to some social cause is more nebulous and how significant it is to you is more subjective.

I don't even know what you mean by letting them colonize my brain to be selfish. Selfishness is my natural inclination. I want more money because i think i will enjoy that more. Not only does my own experience confirm that, the studies I've heard are that when you are below 70k a year earning more money does improve happiness but after that it tops out. You and i are both well below that mark. So i think the choice between say 12 vs 18 dollars an hour seems pretty obvious to me and most people i know irl...

what was the quote?

Rational self interest is supposed to be when everyone does what's in their own best interest while recognizing the rights of others so that competition breeds innovation and success for the group as a whole, but really it's just withdrawing consideration for others and getting what you can at the expense of others. American capitalist doctrine and propaganda promotes the former but really fosters the latter. I'd say you're bad at all that and don't want to be that but ultimately it still infects your worldview.

Once again that's another conveniently nebulous consolation prize on your part. In your mind there is some serious symbolic implications to what you are saying but it's all post hoc rationalization bull****. I could just as easily say you have just forfeited your mind to a rather lazy albeit trendy version of online communism. As if it's any less of a half baked ready made mold that you fell into conveniently around the same time that everyone else did.

Or if i felt like it i could try to be more charitable. It's all just propaganda at the end of the day either way.

The truth is though, and i know this is somewhat sociopathic, but if i could just snap my fingers and be rich, even if other people had to suffer, i probably would press that button. To me it would be the safe, possibly phony answer to suggest otherwise.

to another podcast.

Translation: I who have bitched about post-modernism saying that truth is relative am now handwaving away everything that criticizes my self-absorption as just propaganda cause everything is just propaganda at the end of the day but also self-interest is rational truth.

Newsflash to batlord I'm saying you're specifically full of **** and hot air, propaganda, etc. Not that truth doesn't exist. I know your are eager for a gotcha but damn.

Also when was the last ****ing time i mentioned post modernism lol

You ever tried to get change for a gold ingot? Cash Converters don't take 'em and the local 7/11 surely won't cash one. Go into a bank with one of them as a "needy" person and there'll probably be a click or two and you'll suddenly be surrounded by armed defenders of the law... :laughing:

I've never even seen a gold ingot in real life. I am officially classified as a bastard, sorry I mean as poor. And also a bastard.

I didn't even know what a gold ingot was until I just googled it. :o:

Do you have to Google how to tie your shoes too?

No, because the shoes I'm wearing don't have laces. :rolleyes:

:love: Burl Ives rocks.

On a school excursion to the Melbourne mint we were shown a room full of gold ingots and told if anyone could carry one out they could have it. I doubt Arnie Schwartzneger could have lifted one.
