they aren’t saying the modern worker has it just as bad as other slaves, they’re talking about institutionalized forced labor.

I’d also like to mention that anarchists and socialists have, for a long time, criticized wage labor under capitalism as being more exploitative than literal serfdom i.e. kropotkin’s “shame on the feudal baron” quote. Serfs giving up a quarter of their crop was seen as barbarous, but wage laborers give up the entire value of their labor and are paid only a pittance for it

dawg, wage labor under capitalism is literally slavery with more steps. If your ability to survive is predicated on your ability to sell your body for a wage, you are a slave, and anyone arguing otherwise (you, in this case) is wrong. If you refuse to work and your refusal is met with homelessness and starvation, that is no less coerced labor than if I held a fucking gun to your head.

Also your initial statement of “workers have rights, slaves have none” is just so fucked and wrong from multiple perspectives. Slaves have historically had rights, not every form of slavery is “north american chattel slavery” where they’re treated like livestock. And, again, what difference is there from a “right” won through violence by a union and rights won by slave revolts? There isn’t any

I can’t think of a worse example for the utility of using AI to improve animation than some slice of life bullshit. This just looked like someone wasted their time (or would have, if they were doing actual work) remaking scenes with equivalent quality animation. Honestly idk what’s even “famously bad” about the original

Okay, when people had to literally arm themselves, fight and die for the right to a union, and then to rights those unions fought for i.e. the 8 hour workday, do you not see the similarity between those literal armed struggles and slave rebellions

Apparently some fucking squirrel or something chewed through the harness holding my O2 sensor on the engine or whatever, so the O2 sensor doesn’t work, so i couldn’t pass an inspection and then I just haven’t had the fucking money to follow through with trying to get it inspected in my new county (which doesn’t require emissions inspections) or anything, knowing the entire time that my car just gets more and more fucked the longer it sits there

I have a car that’s been sitting in my driveway for a year now and it’s really fun when i start to think about stuff like this

Subtitles are wrong halfway through saying “we must respect the work of sewer unseen” when they CLEARLY say “respect the workers who are unseen” ()

DPRK is a monarchy

When Kamala Harris said to prospective illegal immigrants “do not come,” when she said she was going to build the world’s deadliest military, when she said the exact same shit about Iran as the Republicans, REALLY what she MEANT was “we’re the party of rules and norms and we’re the bulwark against fascism” obviously

ok liberal

these guys send unhinged tweets to Elmo in the same way that I do to sitting U.S. senators

One of my favorite variations is

Some opinions are just so bad and so rooted in fantasy and fascist brain worms that the deepest an argument against them SHOULD BE is a picture of a pig shitting on its own balls

you guys are so fucking stupid and ignorant i swear

some AI slop hallucination of a character it didn’t create isn’t art

kill others and wage war

yes those are uses of weapons

Weapons actually do something you could consider useful, burning up an acre of the Amazon to generate a sfw image of Nami from one piece isn’t

I got a 450 dollar roomba and haven’t touched a vacuum or mop for over a year outside of messes i don’t want it fucking around with (i.e. broken glass and shit). I run it twice a day and i go from stepping on cat litter sometimes to never

I call it The Goon (in a Strongbad voice) because it advertised 99.9% edging

What if you take your dick and use that on the fingerprint scanner, do you think the cops would make you whip it out

Okay but if it is stupid then i’m right and not the guy saying it’s just malice
