/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
Again, like I said, calling y’all genocidal goose-steppers wasn’t fair of me to do. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. I was mad.
Your cynicism is a tragedy. You can only imagine two outcomes. Either everything gets worse under Trump or things stay as bad as they are right now under Harris. There’s no other options in your mind. You are too cynical to imagine anything else.
And so you attack anyone who refuses to vote for genocide and then get offended when they strike back. Did it occur to you that I was lashing out because other .world posters were dogpiling on me in various threads and attacking me? Or do my feelings not matter?
Harris wouldn’t support genocide if she knew it would cost her the election. There would be an arms embargo by now if it weren’t for her voters reassuring her; “No no, it’s okay! You can kill anyone you want and start WW3 and we’ll still vote for you.”
But calling you all genocidal goose-steppers isn’t fair. You’re just cynical. You fundamentally do not believe you can change anything.
They’re not equally fascist.
It’s fascism lite vs fascism deluxe!
People use Archive links to avoid giving sites traffic.
This is a problem for advertisers and media corps.
Not saying they’re the ones doing this, but they’d definitely benefit.
I just don’t understand why people like OP even left Reddit.
The really interesting thing about Harris is so much of her support comes from people who hate Trump and want to stop him at all costs. There’s this large contingent of voters who have never voted for a candidate they like, they’ve only ever voted strategically to stop the candidate they hate. “Democracy”
I don’t like change! 😣
I only use the computer for word processing, internet, and playing roguelikes.
Fine. I guess I’ll learn Linux 😒
lol imagine comparing .ml to Reddit.world
Don’t be so cynical!
The 4 day work week could be established under capitalism so it’s easier to have two fulltime jobs. 💀
I’m trans and the only reason I stopped using urinals is because it freaked the men out too much lol
They’re so convenient! You don’t have to touch them! And it feels like my bladder empties more completely when standing idk
Gender! 👏 Neutral! 👏 Urinals! 👏
You don’t work with people, not really. You manage them. Your job is to strategically use them for maximum productivity; workers might be allowed some small amount of input but only as long as it can be fit within your “roadmap strategy”. Your job it to discipline the workers and keep them on task. And, of course, make sure they never unionize.
These problems are structural. I don’t care what your motivations are, your class position is as an underling enforcer for the boss and you’re bourgeoisified by your position within the class structure. A manager, within this specific class structure, has every incentive to be an enemy of the workers. An individual manager can choose to become a class traitor, and people in management can be extremely powerful union organizers! But it rarely happens because it requires they betray their own class interests. It’s structural.
I’m not opposed to hierarchical organizational structures?
Under capitalism, the job of every single manager is to extract as much surplus value from the workers as possible. That’s their actual economic function. The problem isn’t the organizational model, the problem is the larger economic system they exist within.
If you had some kind of horizontal non-hierarchical collective under capitalism all that could do is turn everyone inside of it into petite-managers and force them to exploit themselves in order to hit productivity quotas. Or, more likely, it would fail because people don’t want to do that shit to themselves and need to be used and abused by a manager to make capitalism function.
I think it’s because it was the main instance that redditeurs moved to during the big the exodus.
The people managers are identified as the ones that can control and discipline the workforce to maximize their exploitation.
Whether they’re nice about it or they just really like their job as a slave driver doesn’t really change what their job is. Their job is to be the enforcers for upper management and this grants them a different class position.
I have some sympathy for people who have completely internalized the logic of capitalism and don’t even realize the role they play in our own oppression, but that sympathy only goes so far. After a certain point all I have left is contempt. They’re bourgeoisified by their position within the labor force, in my view it doesn’t matter what their intent is. In reality, many of them are just doing their jobs and they aren’t ruthless climber psychopaths. The problem is that their jobs are inherently tied into a broader system of capitalist oppression.
I work for a living honey. My knowledge is derived from dealing with them.

I have a lot of “momentum” mentally, it takes a lot for me to task switch from work to play or from play to work.
Without tracking they don’t have metrics for their ads, which effects reports and pricing. They really want to know if someone looks at an ad.
