I'm currently funded by IKEA and looking to get a raise; my LinkedIn antifa group says it'd help if I had a competitive offer.

I missed cabal sign up day so I’m waiting for Soros to give me my orders.

I'm actually funding the shadowy leftwing cabal unfortunately. Would be nice if it went the other way but alas

[–] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 hours ago

How does someone get funded by your cabal?

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 10 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Currently I get my salary indirectly from the International Practical Chemtrail Cabal (IPCC), with the social media PR side more as a side hustle.

I'm being funded by penguins. I don't know why, I don't even like mackerel that much but these fuckers swam from Antarctica, up the Mississippi, up a few tributaries, to deliver more fish than I know what to do with. So I can't tell them to fuck off and that I already am on their side. That'd just be mean. So anyways, anybody want some fish?

I’m funded by Big Small, the lobbying group for those people who sell hand made crafts on the sidewalk.

I'm sponsored by Big Gay to promote liking cocks. They have a good health plan which includes free prostate exams. The PTO is a bit underwhelming tho; they really expect you to push cockliking 24/7, 365. It's hard

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

Ahh the Cocklikingβ„’ is as hard as it gets

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 35 points 1 day ago

It's hard

Sounds like you're doing a good job though. They're lucky to have a hard representative like you.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

The support of viewers like you

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Tell them I offered a whole $5 more. If that doesn't get management to scramble for a budget extension, nothing will.

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemmy.today 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, you all get paid?!

My recruiter told me this was entirely a volunteer position.

[–] that_one_guy@lemmy.ml 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Thought we were doing it for the love of the game honestly.

[–] tlmcleod@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago

I like games. But I like money too.

Is that that Anonymous hacker I keep hearing about?

[–] Pieplup@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 20 hours ago

MY small housing org mostly has bake sales at art markets and makes bottom-speak eyes when we explain our work in hopes of an added donation.

I'm paid by isntrael to post inflammatory shit to make leftists look bad, but everyone here loves what I have to say

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 hours ago

I read your username with Cock in it several times before I realized it says cop.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 20 points 1 day ago

Ben & Jerries. I'm not a real believer though, I'm only in it for the compensation in product. Tubs and tubs of ice cream.

The USSR shadow government. The collapse of the USSR was a false flag and the real USSR has been in charge behind the scenes the whole time.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago

Formerly funded by the biggest socialist organization in the USA. They owe me money (whenever the current pissing match ends) and i kinda need it.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The sorosbucks seem to be drying up lately. All these abortions aren’t going to pay for themselves, I might have to go paint a few crosswalks with rainbows to make up the difference

I normally don't like AI stuff but this guy uses AI tools to make fun videos and you might like his Democratic Penguin's Republic series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ8qGOe2K0o

I work in the warehouse for Antifa Co. Hillary Clinton and Obama sign my checks!

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

Thanks Obama!

I'm currently freelance antifa, the gig work pays better

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 22 hours ago

My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money.

I'm currently crowd funded, but I've been thinking about seeing if Blue Cross Blue Shield wants to fund me

Sorry, guess I'm scabbing on you all because nobody pays me, I just do it for the love of the game.

I did, long ago, dream of exiting the rat race so I could fulfill my dream of being a left-wing demagogue getting paid to spit fire in the faces of the powerful. Alas, I had no idea how to get started, then I read something by Nathan J. Robinson, the most prolific socdem essayist ever, where he said all his work gets him about $15K in profit a year, and I concluded that my dream would not come to pass. Man is at least 10x more prolific than I could be, writes less confrontational and therefore more accessible and publishable stuff, and is the editor and owner of a magazine. All for not enough to live on in any big city? Shit, the problem is that the left is the side of the people who don't have money. Only way to make a good living doing politics is to work for the right wing which I obviously couldn't so because while I may be a spineless cuttlefish, I still have a hard aragonite core that cannot bend and betray my principles.

[–] Pieplup@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You could definitely make money as a centrist. It makes alot of cents if you think about it.

lol, punny on two levels, I like it ;)

Centrists wouldn't like me, I've been told I'm "not boring" so there goes any hope of a centrist grifter career

[–] Zeusz13@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

According to my government I'm the lackey of Soros, getting paid to make our kids gay and bring migrants into the country. It honestly starts to sound like a good deal, especially when I look at the paycheck I get at CPS
