You Are Not A Wage Slave, Youre A Middle Class White Collar Worker With A Phone, A Car, And A Home Who

You are not a “wage slave”, you’re a middle class white collar worker with a phone, a car, and a home who isn’t anywhere close to being a slave.

I do think that some forms of wage labor are very close to slavery of course and that even the ones that aren’t close to slavery can involve exploitation, but no, simply being paid a wage is not slavery, especially if you’re a white collar worker with a middle class lifestyle that actual slaves would love to have.

Not everything has to be slavery for it to be bad, fyi.

I just saw a “Stand with Ukraine” sticker on a pickup truck. I wonder if the guy is a “moderate centrist” who was a GOP voter but now is a Lincoln Project type? It wasn’t a lifted pickup tbh lol

So there’s a blm leader from Rhode Island endorsing Trump. I bet Trump will embrace it even though he called blm “terrorists”

Why do NY politicians have so many sexual assault scandals?

The misogyny on TikTok seems to be getting more prominent, from both men and women. Like idk gender essentialism seems to be increasing among younger people and I felt like we were trying to move away from that like 5 years ago even when I was in high school. But now all the podcast bros are becoming a thing and then they’ll always have that one pick me girl on their podcast who validates internalized misogyny. Make it stop!

“Osama Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive” goes hard, but “Henry Kissinger is dead and Jimmy Carter is alive” goes hard in this moment.
