You see the shit kanye west wrote today?
Billionaires and their boot licking lap dogs are all beyond sick, its time we sharpen the guillotines, they live like royalty on our backs. Ive been on a strike for the last 5 years living in abject poverty because i will not work for wages not even providing me an existence worth living for. I would rather be broke and free than live as a slave deluded to believe in an illusory freedom while our lives are controlled by those who spend more money on weekend vacations than you or I could earn in a dozen consecutive lifetimes. All while dozens of homes per every unhoused person sit empty to artificially increase the value of property to the point where even renting a shitty 1 bedroom apartment is unaffordable and 1/3 of all food produced is thrown away because it cant be sold fast enough to make someone else more fucking money. I would rather die free and destitute then wake up and be psychologically whipped into obedience to make someone else passive income while i despise every second of my existence and wake up feeling psychological dread after the brief 1 or 2 day respite of the weekend or the 8-16 hours of sleep food and household chores between shifts. Thats not living its slavery with extra steps all these sick deluded fascist fucks and this system theyve built by destroying the social progress made in the 40’a 50’s and 60’s and worked tirelessly to eradicate to install a technocratic feudalist surveillance and police state it all needs to be violently dismantled and burned to the ground. Ballot box idealist bullshit doesnt work, they own the ballot boxes and the ballots, they own the news outlets they own the printing presses putting out educational material and have abysmally lowered the standards of what constitutes education today. There is only one side of the political spectrum in America. The democratic parry is right wing and blatantly enables the far right super fascist gop. But weve been so dumbed down that we believe the democrats are left, they arent, we live in a class dictatorship. There is no true democracy without economic democracy. I am MaGGA- MAke Guillotines Great Again.
Nah I've ignored him ever since his kardashian days. Not surprised by anything he would say though
Lawful Evil slavery
Why keep specific humans constantly on your land like animals? When they finish their work you can send them off to feed and wash themselves and leave you alone. If one isn’t working you throw it back and grab another from the pool. I mean obviously YOU don’t, but somebody you enslave does.
When I hear stories like yours, I think revolutionary_fighters++.
We wouldn't be in this position if more people had enough common sense to see zero sum game for what it is and opt out of working. This would 100% be met with violence from the ruling class if enough people started quitting their jobs and refusing to participate. which would show the true color of our society and dissolve the facade of liberal democracy once and for all and show it for the class dictatorship it truly is. Any democracy that fights against economic democracy at all fronts is inherently and obviously anti democratic.
People may think i am lazy but that’s far from it. Ive always outworked my peers but been punished for my aptitude with an ever increasing job description and no increase in pay. Im auto didactic have taught myself automotive diagnostics and maintenance as well as music theory and basic construction and carpentry. I recently even considered getting a job as an automotive tech but hiring wages are a joke. Mcdonalds and fast food near me start at $16-17 an hour and youre lucky to find a job at a garage for $19-20 so for $4000-8000 more a year i can blow my back out, bust my knuckles and have toxic automotive fluids and solvents absorb into my dermal layer. meanwhile the shops charge on average $200 an hour for labor and sometimes even More (masarati/mini near me charge $295/hr even kia/hyundai are at $235 and the highest payed guys are making $45-60/hr flat rate and billing 2 hours for every one hour they work so they are making $90-120 an hour while the shop makes $470 its ridiculous. Multiply thst by however many garahe bays they average pccupied throughout the day and domenof these places are bringing in $2000 gross an hour ebery hour from 8 am till 3:30 People don't understand this is the corporate model, they aim for 500-1000% profit margins. While working class people say “fast food and other service industry workers dont deserve a living wage because i make what they want now and that would mean i would be payed less” instead of realizing those engorging themselves on passive income off of our backs are under paying us. Not to mention complaining that other working people who are deemed inferior dont deserve a living / thriving wage is nothing more than class traitor bullshit that is promoted in our society to distract from the true enemies of humanity. The wall street billionaire military and prison industry profiteers who view us all as disposable cattle to be ridden as hard as possible till we die in poverty so they can have another yacht every year.
And yes it does suck being broke, i miss out on new tool sales all the time, my phone has a cracked back glass panel, my wife and my pets live in a drafty 36 year old rv spending $30 on propane for heat every week till the end of winter so that we and our pets don't get sick but its better than the awful treatment I’ve endured at the 20 or so jobs I've had since i was 14 years old and got my working permit. While all the rich kids at the private school my grandmother sent me to in order to brain wash me into being a dumb right wing boot licker looked down on me for having a weekend job and taking the city bus. Im just upset i cant buy a few things at the harbor freight 30% off items $10 and under this weekend and the ryobi high torque impact wrench and battery currently $90 off. I could care less about fancy clothes or luxury items, i just like tools so i can fix things and keep my mind busy. It beats the hell out of staring at a clock for 4-5 hours out of an 8-9 hour shift because i finish tasks quickly and then have to avoid superiors who would make me do busy work to justify a trash garbage wage they feel i should be grateful for. Or deliberately slowing myself down on monotonous tasks so i can appear busy for longer periods of time. Fuck. That. Noise.
Meanwhile these billionaires are blatantly praising hitler and gesturing blatsnt fascist salutes while telling us the sky is green and espousing anti intellectualism/ anti working class fascist ideals with no fear of public retribution. Fascists have gotten far too comfortable. It seems like the wall street putsch/ business plot was just delayed but successful none the less. especially since one of the coup’s main architect’s son and grandson were both sitting presidents and our government is now blatantly controlled by an intersection of wall street economic and military industries who control a vast majority of the propaganda outlets masquerading as journalistic outlets. While right leaning centrists who think they are on the left just keep telling us to have faith that voting will fix things when that hasn't worked for 50+ years and what this country needs is a full fledged leftist working class revolution and not one tenth of a millimeter less.
