  • "they are able to..." Yes, but if they don't then they're still workers. If you get paid a wage contingent on your labor, you're a worker. If you make money from scalping other peoples' labor, you're petite or bourgeoisie.

    As for PMC, if one isn't a manager that manages people that they decide to hire/fire, then they're not PMC. That phrase has been so butchered online.

    The discourse follows him purely because right-wingers prop this shit up to try and invalidate his message. It's literally just the "you have iPhone" argument but bigger. What's sad is that people fall for it every time. I also think a lot of people waste time on this shit because they feel they have no power and this online culture war feels like a replacement for them. I wish they'd take this energy IRL.


  • True! People need to understand money is not class. Even those athletes making $100,000,000 are still, technically, workers because they sell their labor. Now if they go open a clothing brand and make most of their money from owning that then they're no longer a worker. The highly paid athlete, while rich, stops getting paid if they stop working, where as the owner cutting their checks gets paid regardless of if they wake up that day.

    Class is determined by ownership, not income.

    And lastly, bourgeoisie can be class traitors and advocate for socialism, see Engels. Though they need to be scrutinized much more closely, it is still technically possible.



  • Everyone mad at Hasan for making $2,900,000, but not mad at the company owner that can afford to pay him that much.

    Hasan is very rich by our standards, and even still he'd need to stream 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 40,000 years to make as much as his boss, Mr. Bezos. And there are ten other people that have that much money. Not trying to downplay how rich Hasan is, but he's not the bourgeoisie.




  • You need to teach the algorithm what you like. It started cringe for me, but now the slot machine of videos is constantly spitting out bangers.

    Go through some hashtags and like some videos. Block the cringe stuff. Then wait a week.

    God I thought fascists were supposed to at least have good uniforms. The fuck is this? They could have just copied any of the infinite sci-fi uniforms in US media and it would have been better.
