    bootlicker

    Boot licker because…I think communism is bad?

    Or because I think the youth obsessed with social media and gender identity will have a rude awakening when they actually have to get jobs?

    Btw, I’m 37 and I still haven’t become a lifeless drone who bitches about young ppl.

    Btw I’m 29 and I still haven’t become a lifeless drone who bitches about young ppl. I bitch about idiots who think communism is good and gender identity is the most important thing in the world.

    And before your next predictable retort; I’m successfully self employed and I work harder than you - I guarantee it.

    And I don’t care. I’m glad you’re successful. I feel sorry for you that you work harder than I do.

    I’m decently successful, working for a small company, and I work maybe 3-4 hours a day. I don’t want to work, I want to live life. I’m living a great and happy life every day, that’s what I strive for, I don’t strive to work as hard as I can.

    Doesn’t mean I can’t advocate for a better life for the next generation because I had to work hard

    Are you talking about communism?

    If you are self employed, it’s because of anti-communism policies, and you have capitalism to thank.

    You’re welcome - from Capitalism.

      When your “gender identity” is under attack from people who literally want you exterminated, it just might be the most important thing in the world. None of my kids are Trans, but if they were I would fight for them. I fight for all the kids that are oppressed by wankers like you.

        Nobody is under attack.

        There’s some bigots, but what rights are under attack?

        literally want you exterminated,

        Not literally. Just because I recognize a man is a man, doesn’t mean I literally want to kill them.

        None of my kids are Trans, but if they were I would fight for them.

        How? How would you fight for them? What rights do they not have that an average person has?

        I fight for all the kids that are oppressed by wankers like you.

        You don’t fight for all kids, or you’d be protesting abortions.

          Nope, I fight for kids that aren’t ready to be a parent, kids that do not want to deliver their abusers children. Being pro-life is defending a possibility over an actual sentient person.

            Plenty of people are waiting to adopt a baby, the ‘kids’ (who are often mid 20’s-mid 30’s) who don’t want to have the responsibility of raising the child they chose to bring into the world, don’t need to. There are lines of people wanting to adopt.

            kids that do not want to deliver their abusers children

            Can you expand on this?

            Being pro-life is defending a possibility over an actual sentient person.

            Defending the rights of a baby that can’t fight for themselves*

            We are defined by fighting for those who aren’t strong enough to fight for themselves.

              It’s a blob of cells not a baby. I guess if I thought souls were real I could see where you’re coming from. And there are lines of people to adopt healthy Caucasian babies, sure but in reality many kids spend life in the system.

                I disagree.

                I guess if I thought souls were real I could see where you’re coming from.

                I don’t see it as a ‘soul’ - just a human life that deserves some sort of right to life.

                And there are lines of people to adopt healthy Caucasian babies, sure but in reality many kids spend life in the system.

                Do you have data that shows that caucasian babies are being adopted but brown babies aren’t?

          What rights? Well for example the right to get the medical care you need. The right to take a goddamn piss in a public toilet. The right to participate in society as you are, rather than a how some fascist demagogue has determined you should be.

            “Need” - define need? Is a sex change for a 13 year old a necessity? If a girl wants boob implants at age 13, that’s not necessary.

            The right to take a goddamn piss in a public toilet.

            You forcing anybody into a specific restroom despite protests from the majority doesn’t make you right. Women should use the women’s restroom, guys should use the guys restroom. I have advocated for penis room vs vagina room, though.

            The right to participate in society as you are

            No, you want it as they ‘identify.’ Just because someone thinks they are something else, doesn’t mean they are that thing. I used to be called ‘doggy boy’ because I liked digging holes. I wasn’t literally a dog.

            rather than a how some fascist demagogue has determined you should be.

            Fascist demagogue = nature? I get you may have an issue with mother nature, but that’s your fight, don’t force everyone to abide by your unpopular view of the world.

      I work hard because I want to retire in two years, not twenty.

      I want to retire because I started out under the boot of surpressed wages because of the corruption incarnate in capitalism.

      Someone like you with a cushy job (that sounds pretty ripe for being automated) has zero clue of the hardships inflicted on everyday working people. Maybe soon you will find out.

      There is no way forward for the current system that doesn’t crush millions of people with starvation and destitution. It’s quite inevitable.

        Sweet, and because of capitalism you can do that.

        I want to retire because I started out under the boot of surpressed wages because of the corruption incarnate in capitalism.

        You mean because when you started, you couldn’t provide more than a small amount of value to your employer? It’s not anyone elses fault that nobody wanted to pay you more than you earned.

        Someone like you with a cushy job (that sounds pretty ripe for being automated) has zero clue of the hardships inflicted on everyday working people. Maybe soon you will find out.

        Ahhhh yes, you know so much about my work history because you’ve only heard about what I’ve done the last two years. I went to 5 years of school, earned 2 degrees, the hardest certification in the united states that took 18 months of studying, while working full time.

        I worked hard then, so I can have a ‘cushy’ job now. Once again, at the heart of capitalism is that you’re worth what someone will pay you.

        no way forward for the current system

        Are you not the one that said that you ‘started out under the boot’ and now you do very well, and are self-employed? That you work so much harder than me (clearly a point of pride for you)?

        That’s because of capitalism, homie. Under communism, you just work forever for an even lower wage than you earned when you were ‘under the boot,’ and if you wanted to earn more - that’s the thing! you couldn’t! you either get jailed or killed. Communism is fun!

        Ya know, there are a few communist countries that you should try and go to work for, if you prefer that!

          Maybe work on your reading comprehension and come back to me whenever you don’t find me advocating for cOmMuNisM.

          I was merely mocking your naive worship of a broken and failed system.

          Maybe one day you will wake you up when they automate your very useful 1-2 hours a day position.

            Marxism put into a political system has always been a form of communism. If you aren’t arguing for that, why are you responding to a post and a comment about communism?

            I was merely mocking your naive worship of a broken and failed system.

            Because I acknowledge that capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s by far the best political system that’s taken more out of poverty than any other economic system doesn’t mean I have naive worship. Also, it’s not a broken and failed system. You want to see a broken and failed system? See every single communist country that’s ever existed.

            Maybe one day you will wake you up when they automate your very useful 1-2 hours a day position.

            That won’t make me communist. And my field is one of the few that are still hiring at a good pace, most tech companies are in a stand still and laying people off. My field has been steady for the last 100 years at least.

            Regardless, I’m selling my work for a fair rate, and that’s what capitalism is. If you are willingly working somewhere at an agreed upon price, thank capitalism.

      you’re not anti communist or pro capitalist. you’re out to get what you can for your own survival.

      (not a bad thing, just don’t lie)

      And I don’t care. I’m glad you’re successful. I feel sorry for you that you work harder than I do.

        I’m anti-communist and pro-capitalist. I don’t care what you think I am, I’m about as pro-capitalist as you get.

        You quoted me…so what? Is that supposed to prove some weird point of yours?

        Capitalism isn’t about working hard, it’s about getting paid what you’re worth. I get by on 1.2-1.3k hours a year in exchange for 100k. I could get closer to 140-150k if I wanted to work my ass off, I don’.

        Being pro capitalist doesn’t mean I need to work my ass off. A core principle says that two parties come together to agree to an exchange of services and pay, without another party (generally government) interfering.

              I asked if they were paid what they were worth, not if they were paid. David Zaslav’s salary is $500,000 a year. Why is that justified when many SAG-AFTRA members don’t make the $26,000 eligibility threshold to qualify for health insurance?
