The bitter sarcasm of a veteran who saw this coming by virtue of having caused it?
a bit of this. Although in my defense, I wasnt working in advertising at the time (my company didnt even have an advertising division)
also, i dont work for one of the big tech companies that have their claws in your digital life. But i can see how it contributes at some level, however minor.
And 80% of his cycling team
The drones sound like a dentists drill to me… its a bit unnerving
20-30% will never be allies because the 0.001% has fooled you into wasting energy denouncing your fellow working class
(i probably fall into your strawman 20-30% that you think cannot be working class because i make more than minimum wage)
even though you dream about guillotining me when the glorious workers revolution happens in the future, i will fight for our cause today
Getting out of the grasp of big tech.
Been self hosting for over 10 years before anyone coined the term enshittification. When i started, i could never imagine things getting THIS BAD with tech companies. I am happier and happier with my decision to self host things every day
I work in advertising
Exactly.
Exhibit A: my downvotes
This thread is exactly what i’m talking about…
We should be building guillotines together. Instead we wasted energy arguing and gatekeeping about which workers count as “working class”, playing some kind of oppression olympics on who has the shittiest working conditions, or who has the purest socialist ideology…
“well this person has health benefits and 5 weeks vacation, NOT WORKING CLASS!!!”
“that person hasnt read the communist manifesto and works for a publicly traded corporation, NOT WORKING CLASS!!”
the irony is that the people who gatekeep the hardest about this shit are probably the ones suffering the most under our broken system. Yet they spend their energy alienating allies instead of including everyone
Lemmy’s definition of working class has become “must keep working or will starve within a week…”
if you have an emergency fund or any kind of retirement savings/investment, you are automatically a class traitor. The amount of purity tests you have to pass here to claim working class is crazy
Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore
Just go to one of the biggest news communities on lemmy…
If you cant tell the difference between bbc, reuters, the guardian… and publicwitness.wordandway.com (a very highly upvoted link over the last day) then there’s no point in me scouring the whole fediverse trying to prove my point.
And you can all downvote me to hell just to stay in your echo chamber… but you’re no better than the right ring idiots we mock in this comic
Some articles of dubious veracity yet, articles from sources at least making an effort to appear reputable.
well thats what i’m talking about. Not literal blogs, but opinion websites masquerading as news sites. I dont see how that’s any better than the right wing manosphere trash the comic is criticizing
The rest of the world cannot comprehend such freedom
Left wing people on lemmy do the same thing… so many links posted on news and world news communities is just left wing blogs…
Pizza hut buffet!
I imagine it’s a point of pride for many americans
The irony is that mississauga itself is the sprawl from toronto.
Make compact phones again…
Dont worry. We’ll fix the problem with a $12B grocery rebate from the gov’t (which goes straight into the pockets of the grocery cartel)
I should have stayed with the promise keepers…
oof, the slow mo replay was hard to watch… scary stuff… hope he gets better soon.
Do they have a history?
