yeah where’s that bullionaire/oligarch/CEO list?

Microsoft is no longer permitted on my PC

then you’re simply retired.

A measure of quality of life quite vague and incalculable because as humans we tend to manage money poorly sometimes in our lives.

The idea of a middle class is just capitalist propaganda to get 9-5 workers who earn significantly more than blue collar workers but look like 0 along with other lesser paid jobs when looking at wealth chart that has Billionaires

do you have a business that is incorporated? You enjoy socialist policies favorable to business.

by tankie you mean Kamala Harris and the DNC?

if you work hard and keep your head down you will get cronic neck pain and fatigue because of course everybody sacrifices a good night’s sleep at the altar of hustle.

well you see, one of the stipulations for getting this much is doing a Seig heil. Which I am sure your moral conscience wouldn’t allow you to do. Or even if it did, I am sure there are a bunch of other criteria that is basically the inverse of whatever test for psychopathy they make people take at mental health institution that you must pass.

So be glad you’re not like him and don’t lament that he gets a bag of money.

This post and several comments agreeing with this I feel are made with some level of ignorance on “Civil Disobedience”.

Minimizing participation in the orphan-crushing machine but also debating politics on available platforms are not antithetical. Debating online is as important as doing the rest of the things that are perceived as “real” worthwhile pursuits. For instance: How can we pursue a cure for cancer if the political climate ensures scientists are scorned and distrusted? If evangelising about the “real” problems you care about is labelled as politics then can you really make progress without “political” action such as boycotting, protests and civil disobedience?

In the same vein, doing the small things in protest is the stepping stones to doing bigger things. It works the same way for any pursuit. Why shouldn’t I practice discipline with my disdain for all the evil in small ways while also pushing for more?

Jeff Bezos makes billions of dollars, But He didn’t get the $100 from me this year. Sure that sounds like a waste of time and energy for not much impact. But It didn’t cause me any hardship. But believe me that $100 had either a compounding effect on my own wealth this year or to some people i gifted essential food to. That impact was felt a lot more by me or one of the people i gifted food or essentials to.

Just, please, stop with idiotic replies accusing people to be enslaved in the system because it’s an insult to anyone who is currently looking for a solution for cancer, saving lives as a firefighter, building houses where people will live, growing crops, and even keeping up internet so people can praise the revolution against the machine from their bedrooms.

First of all, I didn’t accuse anybody of anything here except try to push back against what I percieved as a comment that is disapproving of debate:

Ping me when you changed the world with whatever you are actually doing behind that keyboard 👋

Secondly, Minimizing participation in the orphan-crushing machine but also debating politics on available platforms are not antithetical.

Edit: Add the quote that i felt was misunderstanding why we need to protest in our own small ways.

Edit2: I think we are in agreement. I misread the thread. My comment is actually a refutation of the main post.

It’s so hard for people to agree that we should be doing something. Instead you argue that you are not going to do anything just out of spite all because OP personally may not be doing anything but their words are a bit preachy. If OP was a hypocrite but they still said the right thing why would you deliberately disagree? What would motivate you to act?

You speak as if people doing those jobs aren’t treated like shit?

Sounds like he is just jealous of those who CAN manage their work and life and still suceed.

Hey Reid! You should pull yourself up by your bootstraps and be more like Tom over there!

the “Socialism” is in quotes as were aren’t really talking about actual socialism. Its now a boogeyman dogwhistle used by rich people to steal public property and convert it into private capital.

everything you are saying is untrue.

I didn’t say anything except point out Europe is far ahead of the US in policy and governance. You never said anything except “Crickets, Lol” hence i asked for elaboration.

Everything else in your comment is just “lol, lmao” or writing comments acting outraged or reacting sarcastically to others.

and calling me racist from our interaction in the past is just immature.

you are trying to sound smart but coming off as incredibly arrogant and dismissive. It would help you if you talk normally to strangers online like you would in real life

says the asshole who says “Crickets lol”.

Edit: to give context as to why you are an ignorant fool who tends to get outraged that nobody has replied to you yet, Europe is light years ahead of the U.S in government and policy.

I am sure there is some overlap

Steam, Visa, Mastercard are not U.S companies?

literature is boring, hearing crazy stories is more interesting ^That’s a joke please don’t downvote me too much^
