Apple employees lack class consciousness. They don’t understand that they too are working class, because they too have to sell their labor to survive. You can be pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-DEI, etc. while still being oblivious to the class war.

The only workers left at 𝕏itter are H1B ones just trying to survive.

Quit reposting this shitty meme. It’s not applicable.

You are literally the kind of liberal smuglord this meme is about.

If you want a society where everyone works for free

I want a society where the capitalist class is abolished, so that it no longer leeches off the labor of the working class.

Why would I pay you for something I don’t even use?

You’re using it right now, or else you wouldn’t be talking to me.

And you don’t even own?

It is easier to imagine an end to the world than an end to capitalism.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.

Do you think that’s a clever gotcha? I said, “I don’t put up with for-profit companies any more than I have to.”

Edit to add: For a free & commercial free & non-profit social media platform with a FOSS focus, there’s a surprising amount of corpo simping going on here.

I don’t put up with for-profit companies any more than I have to. I don’t support them or do charity work for them. Corporate brands are not out friends.

I won’t even volunteer feedback to companies when they ask for it, and they incessantly ask for it.

I’d sooner pipe a dozen POSIX commands together than write a single line of Perl.

There are also some India-specific comms where you may find people who’d commiserate.

My Uncle Alex, who is up in Heaven now, one of the things he found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, “If this isn’t nice, what is?”

So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, "If this isn’t nice, what is?”

The working class builds; the capitalist class is a parasite on their labor.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)

Is he the new Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.)?

Pretty sure you’d get one big bead of water. Something much more interesting are superfluids.

Yeah… ActivityPub is anything but private.

I’m poor because I reinvest my capital. How dumb does he think people are? Reinvesting capital is literally what it means to be a capitalist.
