Stop humanising him.
I should have posted the one where he has bright green eyes and looks more like a lizard, which he is
“I’ve spent my time helping this company extract data from everyone else why are they coming for mine?”
It’s so exhausting how stupid people are.
“But the data extraction factory I work at wasn’t supposed to extract my data!”
Yeah, no sympathy
Right? I’m laughing how they expect me to sympathize with them.
Because they’re working class like you and me?
Like ICE? Working class too I guess?
Are you seriously comparing software engineers to members of a state sponsored terrorist police?
I just tried to shake you up about immoral work.
Are you under the impression that they do?
Revolt and switch to vim
If they aren't signing union cards, they aren't revolting.
I don't like this take, because labor unionization should be seen as a completely normal activity for workers and not a form of revolution.
Wouldn't be Lemmy without theoretical perfect looking down on potential good.
He’s not saying that you shouldn’t unionize
He’s just saying that while it’s good, it’s not really a revolution so ideally you shouldn’t stop there
Nobody said stop there?
They're revolting either way, it's just a question of definition.
Damn right.
