It’s more that he thinks the left can’t do ”real hard working jobs”. Jobs that require university education doesn’t count as ”real” to them.
"I don't understand your job therefore your job is fake"
Yeah. Its very strange irrational and potentially self defeating behavior. A fascist would never.
Education≠employability
Is this a tale of your personal woe or do you just shit on people with accomplishments?
Impossible to know. Why assume I have an education?
I didn't. I presented one option where you were educated and bitter the traducation sucked, and another where you have no such accomplishments and are imagining why they are bad.
Since you reject the idea and also struggle with the notion of "or" I am going to guess it is the latter.
im an engineer with a graduate degree. my (work) dream is to work at an aerospace worker cooperative making stuff for space exploration with a bunch of fellow queer neurospicy people.
So you want to work in Becky Chambers' To Be Taught, If Fortunate.
I couldn't have come up with a better pitch for the book.
The trump administration has kinda ruined the Aerospace field for a while. I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Ontop of that, the push to commercialize space has kind of made doing it a lot less satisfying.
Maybe its how online I am, but I feel unethical not taking any job below their 404th.
I'm a software engineer, but I moonlight as a fucking problem for bigots and child predators.
Well there's your issue. Too old for the child predators to want to fuck. They'll never engage in your chosen medium. Can't say for the bigots.
Warehouse worker for a company that sells food over Amazon.
I inject HRT to every avocado spread we sell so toasts turn children trans and communist and immigrant.
IT at a hospital. I make sure to mess with all the data of women who have abortions so right-wingers can't murder them and their doctors. I also hide all the sex change operations forced on kids under the age of 12
I thought the schools were doing the sex change operations after parents dropped them off? It's hugely inefficient to split the workload between schools and hospitals. I'm a retired software engineer who optimized business practices.
Somewhere out there, there's a printout of this, sincerely pinned to a cork board under a thoughtfully arannged web of red yarn.
Well, it'll have to be thoughtfully arranged. They can't just pop down to Joanns to pick up more so they can't waste it. Sure you can get stuff online but you can't feel if that batch will twist how you want it to. It's just not the same
Joann's conspiracy board section really was the best. Not sure where to get all my thumbtacks from now.
I work for for a health insurance company that tries to be a market disruptor that brings prices down. I vote to put myself out of a job at every opportunity, and realize that if my company goes under my only skills are for evil.
Yeah I'm drunk right now, why do you ask?
I fix soda/pop equipment, I love what I do. I'm slowly going insane though, we've been trying to find a second tech for 2 years now but people just don't work out, it's a sticky dirty job but it's fuckin fun and you get to goto cool places and see cool shit like strippers.
People struggle with the lack of structure, we have like 10 calls a week at most and half the time they are bunched up so you may have 3 shop days where your just fuckin around fixing shit. Jobs ment for someone who enjoys soda and learning how shit works.
Reese?
I develop software for the largest underground iron mine in the world. It's always fun to say "I'm a software engineer, I work with mining" because most people's reaction is "oh god, not crypto right?"
It's not crypto, but we're still destroying the environment!
In my free time I homosexually walk my dog, I enjoy gay cooking, I homo read books, I same-sex play games with friends, and queer do a whole bunch of other things.
I'm joking on the idea of homosexual marriage, because it's fun to extrapolate it into us gay-verb everything.
I'm an engineer in a factory. They hired me to double check that the factory workers use my pronouns
Favorite way to get alcohol into your body?
I meant wrt vectors, but I'm going to assume 'orally'. I guess the hard stuff is for ecology knower's.
I work in QA.
Meaning I make sure that the websites I go over all have the secret Gay Code built in. See what it does is secretly pop up on the screen BE GAY so fast you won't see it--- but your brain will have! It's very cool technology that we are implementing so that all websites-- even the most innocuous-- further seed in the Gay Agenda.
You visit websites, it will eventually turn you gay. We are very proud of our work.
Not apps though. Apps are safe and secure!
As a lifelong kitchen worker I truly don't understand how anyone who works in the service industry can be anything less than the farthest to the left you can be.
Real political organizations (I shit you not):
Gays for Trump
Blacks for Trump
Latinos for Trump
I can't find any references to it now when i went googling, but in my first job at McDonalds they automatically enrolled us in the McUnion, which meant that we didnt need to bother with joining a real union.
16 year old me didn't see too much of a problem with this. Randomly thought about it recently like what the fuck was that how did they think that would work and then how the fuck did we let that work.
Many companies have avoided the whole union issue with profit-sharing, which is actually a nice benefit but also something the company can take away if the employees unionize. But "McUnion" - srsly? Did they have McBenefits lol?
I invent the stuff we make stuff out of.
I’m curious as to what they think most of us do.
Get paid to protest between getting our Communist Welfare Checks while sitting in our Communist Section 8 housing because we all hate Capitalism and just want free stuff from Communism.
Duuuuuuuh.
I work in payments.
Remember the Superman movie scheme taking a fraction of a cent off of every transaction? Every time you dip your card, 1/30 of a cent is sent directly to Kim Jong-Il's personal hairdresser.
Coming in 2027 is the all-new Hezbollah Rewards scheme, where 125,000 points can be exchanged for a custom-painted missile lofted towards Tel Aviv.
As funny as it is you can't. Somebody made the mistake of sending an 1$ transaction to a forbidden country on the visa network while testing a filtering technology, (which didn't work at the time, obviously). Seem like this triggered some control in the US, the company was contacted by a regulator
I photoshop images of flat earth to make it look round
I always forget to add the stars though
I'm a 3D artist, I specialize in optimizing my work in ways that AI models can't even comprehend yet.
Me? I'm a dishwasher.
I help old shits like travelwithmrmichael figure out how to turn on their computer and phone.
I'm the paymaster for professional Liberal protesters.
I am a sponge. I live off Soros bucks.
Think Scar Face... except it's abortion pills
I get paid by George soros full time to go to protests
Those are solid ironic examples. It's normal, sadly, yeah. Like wearing non-zero drop, narrow toebox shoes, especially high heels. Or polyester. Or branded clothing. Or flipflops. Normal but dismal.
New Minimum wage engineer slave for a Capitalist Pig
former software developer (retired) - now I just fuck around
If this house is rockin', find out came knockin'.
I work for a telcom on the gay waves for the 5G.
Im just a labourer. It in my free time I will hook up with your dad on Grindr
I peel paint off of fascist reflecting pools
I fix things.
If I came from a wealthier family and went to private schools and all that I'd probably be an editor for Vogue and be a psychopath like Patrick Bateman. They just self-own when they ask a stupid question like this because they have no self-awareness or intelligence. I've never met anyone IRL who made more than 100k a year that wasn't an asshole. They don't kill people but they wouldn't put up a protest if it happened and they see the rest of us as vermin.

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of "ML" (read: Dengist) influence. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Serious posts, news, discussion and agitprop/stuff that's better fit for a poster than a meme go in c/Socialism.
If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.
Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low quality!
That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme. Please post agitprop here)
(Please take a look at our wiki page for the guidelines on how to actually write alternative text!)
We encourage alternative text (from now referred to as "alt text") to be added to all posts/comments containing media, such as images, animated GIFs, videos, audio files, and custom emojis.
EDIT: For files you share in the comments, a simple summary should be enough if they’re too complex.
We are committed to social equity and to reducing barriers of entry, including (digital) communication and culture. It takes each of us only a few moments to make a whole world of content (more) accessible to a bunch of folks.
When alt text is absent, a reminder will be issued. If you don't add the missing alt text within 48 hours, the post will be removed. No hard feelings.
When writing stuff like "lol" and "iirc", it's a good idea to try and replace those with their all caps counterpart
Why? Because otherwise (AFAIK), screen readers will try to read them out as actually words instead of spelling them
Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.
That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.
That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" (read: Dengists) (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).
The only dangerous minority is the rich.
We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.
Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.

Righties can’t separate the human from material value. OP in the screenshot was absolutely gearing up to judge people based on their job, which is a good red flag to avoid someone at all costs.
Unless they’re a cop. You can judge them all you want.
