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.

    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.
