    I wonder if there’s a specific name for that dynamic by which the ruling class separates work from reward so that they can keep the reward of other people’s work for themselves, then ends up conplaining that nobody wants to work any more.

        I was waiting for that one.

        And no.

        The same thing happens in state communism - in fact, it generally happens even faster, since the disconnect between work and reward is there from the start, and the party leaders are in such a perfect position to siphon off reward other people earned. They can do immediately what a capitalist system can only do after wealth has been concentrated and used to buy political power.

        It comes with the establishment of a hierarchy by which some can arrange things such that they enjoy unearned privilege - it doesn’t much matter specifically how that hierarchy is established or nominally justified, and “capitalism” is just one of them.

      Yeah. Separation from the results of work is a fucking issue. I do wish the old philosophers on this would get a new English translation. “Alienation from labor” is a fucking mouthful.

      Same, but I have been considering switching to a new use of my free time, especially since video games don’t bring me any joy anymore.

      I think I will dabble in carpentry…

        Yep they monitor each other’s porn viewing to ensure it doesn’t get “too gay.” You know, just normal father-son bondage stuff.

    What if I told you…

    A horde of aimless, depressed, isolated, self-destructive young men is the inevitable outcome of a political regime clinging to patriarchy and capitalism far beyond the point where anyone below the top 10% really got a good deal from either of those grifts.

      Mike would be far more productive if he just stayed home and jerked off all day tbh.

        mikey probably avoids post nut clarity(this feels right), and lets the homo-erotic rage builds up inside from not wanking it too much.

    Ive had an active job search since last september. Sorta have to have a job to work. Funny because there is no lack of ads but its almost like companies are uncertain about what they want to do for the future. Wonder why that is?
