  • So underpaid and overworked entry level laborers aren’t cleaning them to sterile perfection. Oh no. Shocker

    Counter point: if the screen is covered, what makes you think the door handle those same hands are touching is sanitary? What about the table and chair you’re sitting at? Other people sit there too, do you really think those tables are getting wiped down after every single patron leaves?

    This is why we wash our hands before we eat.




  • In a just society these would be allowed to relieve all cashiers from their positions to pursue their passions.

    But we must slave away to justify our existence because a few rich fucks don’t want to share and established that mindset as the cornerstone of society.

    I just wanted to wail into the void about automation and how our loves could be so much better if people would just lose the chains already.





  • Objectively looking at our system of economics and governance has proven to not take the interests and plights of the people seriously, and is routinely highjacked by special interests to further their wealth and power at the expense of the working class and global environment.

    If no fundamental change is made then …

    millions will die.

    And those in power will write it off as an acceptable cost of doing business. They already have.

    That isn’t a hypothetical. That is the reality of climate change on our current trajectory that our current systems fail to accept and do something about.

    So to answer your question, there is no alternative people are trying to speak of. Our society is already crumbling and it is not salvageable.

    So we have a choice not about alternatives, but on if ending it now would mitigate casualties as opposed to letting the train derail naturally.

    At least if we willingly make effort to change we can have some control of the situation in favor of the working class or at least have solace we died on our feet than on our knees




  • We need to organize outside of the current framework. They want to play circus then let them, but we are the ones lining up in the front row to watch the show. We can just hang out in the cheap seats and talk amongst ourselves on how to bring the big tent down.

    How to achieve this I don’t know. That is dependant on your local area. It won’t be immediate, and it will take time before there is any sizeable movement to actual begin direct action, but it has been done many times in the past and it must happen again if we are going to see change.









  • Too me it sounds like an artist who has been shackled by the system, became mentally unwell and began self medicating with weed, but still prideful enough to know that working for the sake of working is wrong and refuses to do it.

    I can relate, it sounds like me. Used to be a prolific musician and artist. Loved using my hands. But life had other plans and a lack of medical access cost me my hands. Yay genetics! Now I can never do what I love again and must accept that I must toil my days away just to survive because I could never make my passions profitable. I don’t even know if I have undiagnosed mental issues, can’t afford to get that checked or fixed even if I could get it checked.

    People who spout that others are lazy are blinded to plight of others.
