I don't know whether it's wrecker shit or just malevolent selfish ignorance driving most of it, but it's alarming to me how many jobs and how many workers are being declared "not real workers" or "entitled" or "aristocratic" lately, complete with smirking contempt for when those "not real workers" lose their jobs.

Most of the workers being snarked on lately aren't anywhere near rich, either. It seems to be driven by a treatbrained "I got mine" attitude mixed with a "you used to have yours" crabs-in-a-bucket mentality, and I hate it.

Solidarity means solidarity with workers. It's playing into both capitalist and nazbol hands to get divided into little self-interested bands and snarking when someone else's job that they need to survive is in danger.

    No. There is exactly ONE true worker on earth and it is I, the one true leftist

        No, everything has to be serious at all times and we cannot find any humor in the absurdity of hell world. The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence. Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper. I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten. In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate. Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership. There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it. My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin. I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism). My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money. I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol. I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own. My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it. I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist. During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil. William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles. George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together. The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor. Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall. I am running out of walls. When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution. I am very smart and people like being around me.

            That game fantastically potrays a completely destroyed and delusional human in the Deserter character. True definition of insanity

              to be fair, the deserter is destroyed and delusional, not because of his communist past, but because

              spoiler

              he's a senile misanthrope and misogynist who snipes at people from his island while he rages to himself about how he should have died with his comrades. also he's been exposed to the neurotoxins of a giant insect called the insulindian phasmid.

                I agree, but if that's all the comment maker picked up from the character and his situation, dismissing everything he said, everything he had seen because of his own personal faults and especially because of the "lol mental illness therefore invalid" card, I call :LIB:

                It's just like that one edgy wrecker asshole here on Hexbear that said that Mark Fisher's entire body of work is invalid because he killed himself and even said that because of that that meant that everything he said was suspect and liable to make people suicidal because "lol mental illness amirite?," THEN later claimed "it was just a joke brooooooooo" literally days later after maintaining the not-joking position for all the time until then with multiple people arguing with them.

                    Nah, it's all good. You're right about how you described that character, and I don't particularly like him myself, but that was all the takeaway I saw from the comment in that video link.
