We employed a helper

wtf, she's paying to be your slave?

[-] eduardog3000@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Literally just indentured servitude.

They have nozick brain, they think anything goes so long as there's a signed contract.

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

wtf is up with Singapore, I know it's a capitalist hellhole, but I read so many stories of rich assholes abusing their domestic workers, similar to Gulf Monarchies.

[-] Antiwork@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve heard it described as a neolib fantasy. Literally hell

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

everywhere is the neolib fantasy

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Similar to gulf monarchies, migrant workers have zero rights, cant unionise in anyway and are subjected to the whim of their employers

[-] Civility@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Her passports with us

My mans just admitted to Human Trafficking on reddit.

Reading those comments has taught me that Singapore delenda est.

From the comments:

I can. Just look at this thread. There's dozens of people defending the practice, and tons more upvoting them. Saying that any dissenters are "just foreigners who don't understand Singaporean culture". Newsflash: You don't get to claim slavery as "just part of your culture" and be shielded from criticism.

Glaring right the fuck at the United States prison system :guts-rage:

i mean, being a white supremacist police state is part of our culture

[-] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Unironically owning slaves is Amerikkkan culture.

[-] Ligma_Male@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

slavery, genocide, capitalism, shitty music, and bland food.

[-] Circra@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Hey now, that's not fair. The US has produced some genuinely great music.

[-] Ligma_Male@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

i meant white american culture. doesn't seem right to give the dominant culture credit for things oppressed people create when subject to it.

[-] Circra@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Ah fair point yeah.

[-] ComradeCmdrPiggy@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Much of it at the very least stemming from the oppressed peoples (jazz, rock, RnB, hip hop)

Although this mayo Murikkkan piece is pretty great

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
