Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.
Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…
The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.
Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?
And if you put a quarter as much effort into educating yourself about the fundamentals ML as you do memeing, you’d know that a better line would have been “go contribute your labor to society”.
I had a feeling your idea of how a “job” works was rooted in the capitalist method, where a instead of labor an employee sells their labor-power to an employer and receives a wage as compensation, but using job/employment interchangeably confirmed it. You’re advocating for a system of designed dependence, where people sell their capacity to work and the employer extracts more value than they compensate for. Any equality between employer and worker is a deception.
But since memes seem to be your reading level:
You can go get that job now
Wages are the price of labor power. I will continue to live as I please and contribute my labor to causes and efforts I deem worthy of it.
