retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
Did you just call my sincere effort to get an international movement for the recognition of the guillotine emoji going shitpost “limp-dick slacktivism”?
I’ll have you know I am so anti work I am currently not even employed.
Here’s my alternative effort: I joined the SSBN force to get a front row seat to the end of the world. Gimme a valid and authentic EAM and I’ll flip that switch like there’s no tomorrow, 'cause there won’t be.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
The effect of examples is not to underestimate. That’s how they keep workers in check, and that’s how guillotining a king got 2 centuries of democracy.

My problem is that I only understand one of those things. The other is meaningless hot air, spewed exclusively by intellectual elites who may or may not have any idea of what that is even supposed to mean.
work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
And that explanation doesn’t tell me anything either. Put up a guillotine. Put the man in. Let the blade fall. I understand that. Create a network of mutual aid to replace hierarchies? Never saw that happen. Never learned about that, or how that is supposed to work. Don’t know what that is supposed to mean, or how that is supposed to play out.
If you assume anyone knows about any of that, and if you assume that anyone can imagine anything concrete about that, you are out of touch. You are communicating ineffectively. At least to me. And probably to most other people as well.
Definitely not the gender nor race – or even age range – that I anticipated the person being.
I totally assumed white guy around 60 years old, not Imani Ellis being it looks like about 32 years old
As far as I can tell, it looks like her companies, CultureCon and Creative Collective NYC, don’t seem to be massive or rolling in the big bucks like finance and banking (rudimentary search result here), but nonetheless, to even be ABLE to take 30 days off work, spend the money on a flight – and hotels!!! – for 30 days in an incredibly expensive place overseas, that’s still flaunting money that most of us would have spent on food or rent.
and right after that against those who brought it on the scene in the first place. but ins’t it harsch to ruin teenage anarchist wanabees’ wet dreams with facts? 😆
I saw one where he was like, when I have people to interview for a job in my company, I ring them at 7 in the morning and tell them to be in the office by 8 and make them do a whole days work and then if they pass that the interview process starts… like go fuck yourself you pretentious cunt, you’re just making people work for free then telling them to fuck off, and to top it off he had people below saying yeah I applaud that and that’s the best way to take out the worst people who don’t want to work???
Should be 4 day work week and 6 weeks vacation. There is absolutely no need to work this much. So many bullshit jobs, just to keep people employed and busy all their lives.
Not just employed but underemployed. Forty hours a week for not-40 hours worth of money. We call it a grind because it’s designed to wear us down to bare subsistence.
Seriously… I literally just opened up lemmy after checking my vacation balance to see this lol Took 5 years to get 10 days vacation at my current job and I’ve used them all already… boooo
There was very successful vilification of unions from my understanding as well. I find the discussion about unions with Americans really interesting as from my Finnish perspective they are the cornerstone of workers’ rights.
Well something like 10 percent of us are still unionized. I’m technically in management, but I’m still a union member and I 100 percent support my union brothers and sisters over ownership. That said, having a unionized workforce is actually good for my company’s owners because it allows them to bid on highly lucrative projects that aren’t really viable for non-signatory contractors for technical reasons having to do with safety and insurance.
They hold the ladder for the former thinking they’ll bring them up too. When the ladder gets pulled up without them they look for a new ladder to hold.
Here it’s 25 days minimum by law, and you are entitled to use 20 of them consecutively if you want to. If you have a good job it’s often closer to 30 days.
My work you get one week the first year. Two weeks for each of the following 6 years, three weeks the 7 years after that, then finally 4 weeks once you have been with the company for 15 years.
If you don’t work for any 30 day period, you are let go and if you work for the company again I’m the future, you restart the benefits back at 1 week vacation.
It’s actually one of the best around. I just hit 15 years and get 4 weeks now. Yay America.
Oh I should mention they now “expect more” out of a 15 year employee so now my evaluations are almost always “barely acceptable”, despite going above and beyond always. They want us to feel like we are lucky to have the job and they could fire us at any time. It gets worse the more benefits they are paying.
My current job gives everyone 16 days a year. I love my job, the dynamic, the people, the product. But I won’t last 2 years max with only 16 days off a year.
Sure, that gets you the time off, but this guy flew to Paris and hung out for that entire time and found his “creative spark”. We also need like 50% higher wages so we’re not sitting in a Parisian cafe thinking “oh fuck this vacation is going to bankrupt me” or stuck at home unable to afford the flight to begin with.
You’re right, I forgot that after the 28days there’s another weekend. But as someone who did a lot of union work in Germany I can assure you that a lot of companies do not give more than the mandatory 20d for a 5d-week.
