Apparently I’m a Catholic priest in upstate New York that was accused of murder.

Tobogganing.

I didn’t make fun of them though.

That’s how you got Irish Americans

You’re itching for a fight, when nobody started a fight with you. I am not saying whether this is good or bad advice. I am saying that the fact that this looks like bad advice is because we are losing the class war. I am saying that I remember a time when the balance of power was different, when we temporarily had the upper hand in the class struggle due to the COVID weirdness. During that time, people were actually doing things like quiet quitting, and strong-arming employers, and that in that environment advice like the one in the meme did not come off as bad advice.

I’m describing a dynamic, not blaming workers. If I had anything to say to the «single moms wokring at McDonalds» (you did an instrumentalization there, like the «kids in Africa») that would be «hey, how can I help you folks unionize?».

No, my argument is that there is a class war and we’re losing it.

Remember post COVID how people were quiet quitting and CEO’s were talking about how workers had too much power?

I remember.

Technofeudalism.

That’s a very European mindset.

Thank you for your service 🫡

Unions are a tool of the working class in the class struggle. Not sufficient for socialism, but kinda necessary.

You know what that’s called, right? It’s class consciousness. When people’s power fantasies are union organizing, that implies there is a degree of cultural hegemony going on and that’s pretty neat.

One thing I’ve noticed with Lemmy is that it feels way more like a social bookmarking and commentary platform. I see fewer posts that are “original content” here than for example Reddit.

In fact, “computers” were women whose job was to do calculations in the era before electronic computers.

A heads up that, in 2026, a 70 year old grandmother could just as well have had a 30-40-50 year career in computing. Don’t use grandmothers as the go to trope for tech illiterate users :)

The idea that a language ends up a lingua franca because of its qualities is simply ridiculous. It’s not linguistics, it’s empire. It’s always empire.
