South Korea's likely new President, Yoon Suk-yeol, believes:
-The work week should be 120 hours, not 52 -Food safety standards should be eliminated because "poor people should be allowed to eat substandard food for lower prices" -There should be no legal minimum wage
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
A lot of these CEO-type people like to count all their schmoozing, CEO perks, and free fine dining as work.
CEO: I worked 16 hours a day for years!
Reality: Company-paid breakfast , meeting for like an hour, company-paid lunch, golfing/squash/gym most of the afternoon, company-paid dinner, bed.
Sleep is crucial in order for me to perform my CEO duties therefore all of my time spend sleeping is productive work time :so-true:
Rejuvenation? of labor is necessary for labor so it should be paid too
Thank you comrade CEO so you shall being paying employees for an additional 8hrs so they may rest, right? :padme-right:
feel like the patrick bateman lifestyle is very fitting.
‘yes Charlene, please book a reservation at Gabagool’s for the meeting this evening, and make sure they have the complementary yayo’
it was funny af ngl this is up there with saying something like ‘voters will be made to cum’.
120 hour work week
That is literally 5 days of working nonstop. What the fuck.
I don't think this is even physically possible. Your workforce will drop dead.
damn, their standard workweek is already 52 hours? and they want to increase it? :proletariat:
Not as bad as it was 30 years ago.
Abe pushed some reforms in 2018.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_labour_law
Wait Abe pushed pro-worker reforms? I thought he was a right-winger…
Came here to say the same thing.
The UK is also a "soft" one-party state and therefore the Tories are kinda big tent. Therefore Conservatives will legalize gay marriage or even compete with Labour in Wales for building low carbon housing.
Yeah, working conditions in Japan are/were just that fucked up. The country literally can't maintain it's population and the conditions of the average worker are a big part of that problem.
It was actually lowered from 68 by the last administration. So, of course the new guy wants to double down on reversing everything out.
TFW all of your presidents resigned in disgrace and were either a puppet of the military, a cult, or Samsung, you have little to no control over your own military, have some of the weakest labor unions, longest working hours, and highest suicide rates in the developed world, ban leftist parties, arrest anyone with mild praise for communism, and your new president wants to make the gilded age look like a worker's paradise, but at least you aren’t the north
The work week should be 120 hours
you libs might not like it, but this, this is obviously the right take. maybe the workers will start killing their bosses.
I've heard even before nukes the DPRK just has a huge amount of artillery pointed at Seoul 'in case of emergency'
Doesn't that just mean that the previous government's peace agreements just get put in standby? Because AFAIK even the most hawkish ROK presidents cant really do anything, since there is a massive amount of weapons just over the border, and all of them point directly at Seoul.
I love how america declares the beginning of the war when people from the north came down to liberate their people from the puppet government and not the installing of a puppet government.
No idea. I've made similar comments\jokes before but not that recently.
Oh I was joking. I was saying that a similar situation happened with Ukraine, where western libs pretend this conflict just started out of nowhere by aggressive evil Putin - they don’t consider the last 8 years of civil war as the starting point
"history starts wherever it needs to to make my point for me"
I read it a while back, and while pretty interesting/informative for the most part, I definitely remember feeling like it went off the deep end in a couple of places. Good to read with a grain of salt imo
Does living in the global north cause brain damage?
I shudder to imagine what praises German boomers sing about Hitler.
:south-koolrea: when?
I have begun to realize that the global north turns people into sociopaths, and if I ever want to bail to a place with any shred of decency, it has to be the global south.
China would be nice, but Uruguay or Costa Rica would be a dream to escape to when Richard Spencer/David Duke inevitably wins a landslaide victory in 2028 and Nick Fuentes becomes the Senate majority leader.
I think capitalism turns people into monsters and those who don't end up as sociopathic misanthropes end up wildly depressed living in the same space as them.
That's probably a better way of putting it.
I know I vent a lot on this site, but at the end of the day I believe that everywhere, including the global north and including America are full of genuinely good people, but they're not the ones in power and that capitalism has terminally claimed many of their countrymen.
Something tells me this is my sign to start reading Lenin and Castro and learn to organize.
It's why I believe more in reeducation more so than outright execution. I think people are good too and I wholly believe in nurture rather than nature. People simply become the product of their environment, and the environment in capitalist countries is deeply sick. It's how prisons should work but don't. Rehabilitate people back into fitting in with the rest of society, in being good people and given a fighting chance to remain on a healthy path.
You try reeducation for as long as it takes and the death sentence is dying peacefully in your sleep having become a better person
I'm aspiring to both. I really want to enjoy the breadth of possibilities that are uniquely available under capitalism.
Wont climate change eventually render much of the global south uninhabitable?
Yeah, uhh... we're experiencing catastrophic weather events right now that weren't predicted to start until the 2050s or later. Don't bet any money on "not in our lifetime".
I mean the global north has been sending evangelicals down here to make us more like them.
My understanding is that Mormonism and Evangelism are converting new victims at alarming rates.
Tell me again how the dprk is cruel and authoritarian, western media
This reminds me of when a NYC "leftist" told me China should be more like South Korea. I could tell this person learned everything about the country through pop culture and nothing else.
I for one applaud Yoon's contributions to DPRK's reunification strategy.
The propaganda budget of DPRK is going to get slash, poor the person that work in that department.
His rating will plummet when he says the only game allowed is brood war.
Isn't SK a defacto corporate dictatorship? I thought the president was just picked by the leading cults and corporations, with approval from the military.
edit: wrong link lol. depth of field isn't libertarian
