What about the absolute worst? The tech-tankies? :D (joking, I dont think any of these short circuit words help, except those who want to derail discussions)
I really enjoyed reading your post and comments so far. Well done. Cya
Happened to me more often than I can count. Always the same outcome: I work my normal speed, work gets done insanely fast, employers denies raise and points at me doing thigs for free, I stop working as far as I can legally get away with, employer needs to hire more people for the job I did before, I sabotage as much as I can, then leave.
In very rare occasions I got a little bit of extra money out of it but mostly i just learned a lot and switched jobs. went self employed later and did away with that shit.
but the system is a pile of shit, no matter your skills.
It is actually how the system works, just on steroids. Capitalism has the innate tendency for monopolization. At the end, the whole world will belong to one person and that person will rule everything. its just totalitarianism with extra steps.
First you outright lie about him having seriously injured people with a knife, now you try to spin this.
German police is infamous for its nazi chat groups and racial profiling. They cuffed and set a guy on fire. Nobody knows how he died but four bullets to the back is an execution in my book, period.
And most importantly, even if you were interested in just having nobody use words that arent the exact definition in the dictionary, that is the thing now. Picturing immigrants as vile, subhuman creatures, spinning facts in ways that have no connection to actual reality. And we're discussing if shooting someone who is no threat to you four times in the back is an execution or not.
None. Thats my point. Cops shooting people in the back does not need a story. Its just murder. Even if that person were in the process (which he wasnt) of attacking someone else, shooting them in the back is likely going to injure the person you're trying to save.
My point is start thinking instead of just believing a headline. Its not that hard.
You're absolutely right. The person is trying to character assassinate me. They're either really misunderstanding what I'm talking about or deliberately trying to smear me.
The beginnings are also obvious in germany and the EU, AGAIN.
We've already built concentration camps inside germany and on the eu borders. Immigrants are being hunted by the regular police and also militias. One was executed by german police recently. 4 shots in the back, one to the head.
But people are drowning in propaganda media that tells them its all fine and we must go to war with russia now and immigrants are evil.
The most telling thing is how they try to frame palestine solidarity as "imported antisemitism" which is so racist it baffles me.
Its insane. Even the worker party (spd) and the former climate party (the greens) are pushing war propaganda and xenophobia. Its historically so close to what happened back then, bar the focus on jews, fortunately.
Edit: Downvotes are pouring in and misinformation spreaders are jumping on this post. Really interesting how bad lemmy has gotten in terms of propaganda.
We're arguing on the assumption that living in western europe isnt "rich". Even the people living from state welfare with running water are better off then 50% of the planet because they even have clean water.
Notch btw started as a programmer at the age of 18 (wikipedia) and lived in sweden, one of the richest countries in the world. Having the time to learn programming at that age is already a sign of (white) privilege.
There. Is. No. Self. Made. Wealth. Period.
That on the other hand is not saying that notch wasnt successful, he undeniably was. But he is an unethical prick for keeping the money and engaging in debauchery. He does not deserve praise, neither does any rich person. You know who deserves praise? Dr. Ernesto "che" guevara does.
Not inherited is also wrong. Because more than 50% of americans live paycheck to paycheck, one can assume that private schools, elite universities, etc are also inherited wealth.
They dont spawn with billions but they started at the top and just built exploitation empires.
The is no such thing as self made wealth and an insane majprity of it is already being very comfortable and just going full bore.
I'm not saying financial success has nothing to do with capabilities and discipline but surprisingly little.
Or to quote jay gould, who said it before:
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
thats why weeee neeeeed you to fill out this captcha beebop
