The UK is a parody country that has effectively managed to synthesise all the worst parts of feudalism and neoliberalism together

I wonder what they think work even is. Like I get the sense that they consider "work" literally just a mindset and has nothing at all to do with actually doing a job

Many of them think that work means "making an effort at a task" and not "if you don't sell your labour you will die."

Sure, some of them labour for long hours when the mood takes them. But they'll never have to work if the mood doesn't take them.

Want to take the week off? Fine. Boss doesn't like it? Call Dad and have him explain to boss what will happen to his credit cards. Fired anyway? No problem, 6 months in the alps and then a similar gig at the next company.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
