Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.
Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…
The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.
Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?
Get a job
Did you just whip out a boomer-era, poverty class disparaging insult? Your comment reeks of classism and capitalist arrogance. But thanks for being honest about your values in your response.
Lol nothing inherently capitalist about performing productive labor and you’re definitely not contributing anything of value here
Doubling down, eh? Your implication that the value of a person is tied to productive labor is deeply capitalist. One can contribute to the betterment of the world without having a “job”; it’s called volunteering. Try contributing something of value without expecting compensation. Hell, try doing it even when doing so is a burden that expends personal energy without direct reward to yourself but makes existence better for something else.
Doubling down on being 100% right lol, there’s no implication I’m stating plainly that you specifically are unemployed
No. You did not plainly state I was “unemployed”. Plainly stating “you are unemployed” would have been you stating, plainly, “you are unemployed”. You used “get a job”, a well established insult that insinuates the person you’re saying it to is unemployed (regardless of whether it is known if that person is employed or not), and connects human value to productivity through employment. That a person only has worth if they’re productive is the commodification of human existence. It’s the kind of shit libertarians use to mock the homeless. The fact that you would even consider using unemployment status as a means of insulting someone tells me everything I need to know about the quality of your character.
Run out of words to defend your idea that unemployment is a disgrace and that value is found in having a job? The wealth class loves it when the middle class regurgitates their work=value message and treats the poverty class like the punching bag the middle is for the elites. You are, without a doubt, the dumbest capitalist parrot cosplaying an internet tankie I have ever interacted with online.
