Chapotraphouse“We were getting back on track there for a little while,” she said, presumably referring to Biden’s presidency. On track to what????
Edit: she’s pretty nice, I just expect to get fired within five seconds of starting a job these days so
Say blatantly communist things without any of the sleeper cell activation vocabulary like "socialist" or "means of production" or "marxist" and see how long they'll agree with your re-packaged ideas. Maybe not to your bosses but still:
"I think it was cool during the quarantines to see how everybody kept busy and found ways to contribute their work to the people around them even when they weren't getting paid"
"I find it interesting that we don't insensitivize companies to produce things that last longer so, instead, companies that produce things that need to be re-bought annually end up being more successful"
"It's weird that the government gives subsidies to farms to not produce in order to protect market value when the people who are starving don't take part in the market anyways. Couldn't they just pay out subsidies and run nutrition programs instead?"
It's kind of like playing ideological chicken. The economic education in the west is so dismal even the most basic Marxist-derrived analysis is groundbreaking and reasonable. Stuff like that feels amazing to land.
I was going to say something about how I hate both democrats and republicans because they’re all genocidal pedophiles but I decided to let it go lol, it’s not worth the risk and I need this job. This woman reminds me of my mom in so many ways, and my mom will politely entertain communist ideas while you speak with her and then the next day act as though the conversation never took place so 🤷♂️
Yeah that's super valid also oof
even the most basic Marxist-derived analysis is groundbreaking and reasonable.
I do this a lot with libs and they think I'm some kind of genius.
No, I'm really not that smart. You've just been trained wrong by capitalism. On purpose. As a joke.
as a joke
Hell yeah though
"I just think everybody should pitch in as much as they can, and that society as a whole has a responsibility to provide for those who can't provide for themselves"
In my Uni a NYT shitlib writer came to speak and after I heard he did reporting on China I may have asked him several questions on how China could build so much and do so well while the US is in active decline and why freedom matters if the capitalists control everything :3
(He was deeply uncomfortable the entire time but didn't say anything because he didn't want to look rude)
Lol nice
bosses talk about politics as a power move because they know their stupid bullshit can't be challenged without retaliation
RTA: sometimes it's because they are trying to sound you out and determine to what extent you are exploitable / an organizing threat
Unless your employee has another job opportunity already lining up and he decide to have a fight that day, which is what I did in the past.
I can only imagine how cathartic that felt.
It helps that i kinda look like a big airhead guy and i smoke a ton of pot but I like pretending I just had a random thought and say it like it's a bit if a joke.
"Heh... if you think about it like... if we didn't go to the site and do the job... nobody would make any money so it's kinda like we pay the boss hahaha"
Just to see if anyone gets the gears turning
I feel like a communist spy in political conversations bcz I nod along with a ''haha yeah'', then show my true colors the moment they turn their backs
@ me when our leadership said "Taco" after trump tweeted about whiping out a civilization.
" I will enact the Final Solution!!"
Libs: "Yeah right, I bet he chickens out "
I just say subtly communist things
"There is a lot of unfinished business" is a handy phrase. You don't need to specify.
No more half measures Walter
is that kid ok
Nope
His head popped off
This is me until I get drunk at the company party.
