(yeah i know leftbook is generally bad and no i didn't expect anything better but still)

Yes, employers should be paying delivery drivers way more instead of other working-class people making up the difference. Yes, the US system of tipping and the fact that service workers rely so heavily on tips is fucked up. No, that doesn't give you an excuse to not tip the person who's bringing you your treats.

Multiple people called this meme "ableist" and "classist" :agony-shivering: and even more are saying "delivery driving's way easier than making the food and sometimes they deliver it to the wrong place!!! so they don't deserve to be paid more!"!!

If your arguments sound exactly the same as a chud's, you are not a leftist, you are a propaganda mouthpiece for billionaires that would love to see you drop dead. Shut the actual fuck up you PMC radlib swine. /rant

    "Ableism" is a real social phenomena, but for a large swath of people it just means that if a hypothetical disabled person can't do something than I shouldn't be expected to do it. Largely it's a result of politics being a form of cultural consumption as opposed to a collective project and a set of moral assumptions.

    It reminds me of the people who refused to read theory or anything at all supposedly because of "ableism" but largely because of laziness and a lack of commitment

    None of these people are fit for socialism since I am sure they would all be revolted to do any sort of productive labor outside of the paper pushing that their jobs require to sustain them
