Young Capitalist Trying To Prove He Isn't Above Physical Labor Gets Ghosted In 250 Job Applications
You claim you're not a capitalist, and yet you use upper-case letters at the start of every sentence.
"You need 2 years of experience for this entry-level ditch digging job"
Gang shit
Imagine living in a world where your value as a person isn't tied to how physically exploitable you are.
Hey now! Under capitalism, your value as a person is tied to how aggressively you exploit others.
Luckily for me I get exploited physically and mentally. I strive to one day only be exploited mentally.
straight from facebook, what a post.
Thank you
I've worked back to back 60's at Amazon, what the hell do you think made me a communist?
Nowhere else have I felt more like the "Resource" part of "Human Resources"
Sounds like you just dont want to work. You know when I was your age...
Ah BabylonBee, The Onion for conservatards
No joke, I got dog piled off this site for using that last word you used. We're so busy purity testing ourselves instead of just attacking the right in an organized fashion.
Right now, I'd pick physical labour over IT. I'm sick of being attached to a desk 12h a day looking at a screen and making some predatorial company richer.
I'd rather be cleaning up my neighborhood, planting flowers in the park, or working at an animal shelter or the local soup kitchen. Actually making a fucking difference in society.
fellow IT worker here ....
The sickle and hammer are not representative of planting some flowers in a garden.
If you've never done any real farming, I recommend you try it even for a day to learn a whole new appreciation for our modern way of life. It is brutal backbreaking work ... and so were most industrial jobs from the era of soviet communism.
Thank god for modernization, but I also agree on the despair of being a slave for an ultra rich asshole. I'm dealing with it by starting a corp with a couple of buddies that is owned by us and doing some work on the side .... hopefully this can eventually free us from the chains.
As much as everyone would rather do meaningful things with their time, communist societies need ditchdiggers too!
Construction and manufacturing takes all types, no experience needed, but I found factory work to be a great motivator to get into IT. Grass is always greener, I suppose
I think the big issue is lack of variance in your work. Human brains need different stimuli. S o if you do only one type of work all the time, you want something different after a while and yearn for another extreme.
Problem is: that runs counter to taylorism.
communist societies need ditchdiggers too!
I gladly dig ditches, if it's not the only thing I do.
I'm a communist and don't want to break my back using a sickle to harvest crops, but also no one does except people watching trad content and romanticizing it. This is why we've automated most of the hard manual labor in developed countries.
We really need to update the symbol, besides all the baggage with the USSR it's just out of date. Maybe on 1920s Russia most people were working with a hammer and sickle, and a lot of people still do to this day in less developed countries, but the meme is right, you ask your average Gen z in the developed world what the symbol means they'll shrug and say idk.
You’re right, a Combine Harvester and a Floppy Disk
What an unexpected post on lemmy even for a shitpost community
I like to keep everyone on their toes
Isn't Babylon Bee like The Onion?
It's like if The Onion was right wing
I thought this community was getting a bit too friendly lately
Quality shit post
Wait, you mean the revolution isn’t just arguing online and designing posters? Devastating news.
What other meaning would they have?
I mean, they represent physical labor, in the sense that one physically uses a hammer and a sickle as tools. But the reason communists pair those symbols together is because they represent the class alliance of industrial workers, and rural peasants.
This is a repost of bad conservative Onion ripoff, The Babylon Bee, though. So I expect only the most shallow, baby-brained, "jokes" your average chud could muster
I also like the sextant the GDR added to represent knowledge workers.

Context matters. Could have been funny, if it were a self-deprecating joke. But now I think "ah, they don't know what they're talking about".
Guys, they are Communists, not Amish.
