I literally can't make this up. This month, he laid off a bunch of people and all the public chats and channels were full of people getting mad at the executives for laying us off even though we're extremely profitable, have tons of cash in the bank, no debt, and execs are getting paid millions

People were talking about unionizing and posting all these financial metrics of how the company is doing proving they didn't need to lay off to survive at all

The CEO came in today in a Batman suit and now all the public chats and channels are praising him, calling him "King" and "based". People are laughing and taking photos with him and joking around

Oh, the worst part about this is that all these chats and channels I'm talking about are the social new grad ones. These are all Zoomers, the "furthest left" generation

I hate this country lmao

      If it makes you feel better I recently found out that a security guard at my old work who I showed that he can just take the unsold food at the end of the day started a ring of 50 security guards who take it all home in sacks

        Security guards are consistently my coolest co-workers.

      This is a bad misreading of theory.

      It is inevitable, it's just that the material conditions usually mean that a significant mass of people are actually starving, not when they are simply disgruntled. Alongside that, the development of means of production have to be at a state where the organization of means of production is simultaneously good enough to organize the overthrow of the capitalist class, but also be bad enough to be rendered non-functional by the contradictions of capitalist production.

      Usually it is a war that facilitates both of those conditions, which is inevitable under capitalist contradictions, as in order to grow they must disrupt stable economies. How and when that will really begin to effect the imperial interior to a revolutionary degree, who can say?
