As a lifelong kitchen worker I truly don't understand how anyone who works in the service industry can be anything less than the farthest to the left you can be.

I can't find any references to it now when i went googling, but in my first job at McDonalds they automatically enrolled us in the McUnion, which meant that we didnt need to bother with joining a real union.

16 year old me didn't see too much of a problem with this. Randomly thought about it recently like what the fuck was that how did they think that would work and then how the fuck did we let that work.

2

Many companies have avoided the whole union issue with profit-sharing, which is actually a nice benefit but also something the company can take away if the employees unionize. But "McUnion" - srsly? Did they have McBenefits lol?

Dude, my son-in-law is a huge right wing idiot, and he's a kitchen worker. It happens. I have no idea how. But yeah.

Righties can’t separate the human from material value. OP in the screenshot was absolutely gearing up to judge people based on their job, which is a good red flag to avoid someone at all costs.

Unless they’re a cop. You can judge them all you want.

He doesn't know that the left is more educated. Believed Fox that they're all unemployed.

The only thing keeping the GOP in power right now is tribalism.

Billionaire fascists are keeping them in power. The tribalism of one of the tactics.

The good news is that they're experiencing diminshishing returns from these tactics and, despite that, doubling down while spending even more money on them.

It’s more that he thinks the left can’t do ”real hard working jobs”. Jobs that require university education doesn’t count as ”real” to them.

20

Yeah. Its very strange irrational and potentially self defeating behavior. A fascist would never.

I didn't. I presented one option where you were educated and bitter the traducation sucked, and another where you have no such accomplishments and are imagining why they are bad.

Since you reject the idea and also struggle with the notion of "or" I am going to guess it is the latter.

I fix soda/pop equipment, I love what I do. I'm slowly going insane though, we've been trying to find a second tech for 2 years now but people just don't work out, it's a sticky dirty job but it's fuckin fun and you get to goto cool places and see cool shit like strippers.

People struggle with the lack of structure, we have like 10 calls a week at most and half the time they are bunched up so you may have 3 shop days where your just fuckin around fixing shit. Jobs ment for someone who enjoys soda and learning how shit works.

I develop software for the largest underground iron mine in the world. It's always fun to say "I'm a software engineer, I work with mining" because most people's reaction is "oh god, not crypto right?"

It's not crypto, but we're still destroying the environment!

In my free time I homosexually walk my dog, I enjoy gay cooking, I homo read books, I same-sex play games with friends, and queer do a whole bunch of other things.

::: spoiler <Joke 'splanation> I'm joking on the idea of homosexual marriage, because it's fun to extrapolate it into us gay-verb everything. :::

im an engineer with a graduate degree. my (work) dream is to work at an aerospace worker cooperative making stuff for space exploration with a bunch of fellow queer neurospicy people.

Can I join in on this dream? Aerospace really tickles my fancy, but it feels impossible to get a job in it that's not destroying the environment and/or making bigger bombs.

8

The trump administration has kinda ruined the Aerospace field for a while. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Ontop of that, the push to commercialize space has kind of made doing it a lot less satisfying.

I work for for a health insurance company that tries to be a market disruptor that brings prices down. I vote to put myself out of a job at every opportunity, and realize that if my company goes under my only skills are for evil.

Yeah I'm drunk right now, why do you ask?

IT at a hospital. I make sure to mess with all the data of women who have abortions so right-wingers can't murder them and their doctors. I also hide all the sex change operations forced on kids under the age of 12

19

I thought the schools were doing the sex change operations after parents dropped them off? It's hugely inefficient to split the workload between schools and hospitals. I'm a retired software engineer who optimized business practices.

Warehouse worker for a company that sells food over Amazon.

I inject HRT to every avocado spread we sell so toasts turn children trans and communist and immigrant.

Well, it'll have to be thoughtfully arranged. They can't just pop down to Joanns to pick up more so they can't waste it. Sure you can get stuff online but you can't feel if that batch will twist how you want it to. It's just not the same

Joann's conspiracy board section really was the best. Not sure where to get all my thumbtacks from now.

I build and repair PCBAs for a company in Texas. I’m the one building the 5G to make the frogs gay.

Get paid to protest between getting our Communist Welfare Checks while sitting in our Communist Section 8 housing because we all hate Capitalism and just want free stuff from Communism.

Duuuuuuuh.

I'm an engineer in a factory. They hired me to double check that the factory workers use my pronouns

I work for a national pharmacy chain that is kind of everywhere in the us.

I fuck with the perscription data so everyone gets extra doses of the gay pills.

Sorry, what? I think it's pretty normal to wear a suit and tie. How would You wear one ironically? A punk rock concert? Funeral of your worst enemy?

Those are solid ironic examples. It's normal, sadly, yeah. Like wearing non-zero drop, narrow toebox shoes, especially high heels. Or polyester. Or branded clothing. Or flipflops. Normal but dismal.

They're a hazard and should be only worn — in their safety form — by asian workers in heavy industry.

Wear sandals. Crocs are made out of crushed dreams and lullabies.

I work in payments.

Remember the Superman movie scheme taking a fraction of a cent off of every transaction? Every time you dip your card, 1/30 of a cent is sent directly to Kim Jong-Il's personal hairdresser.

Coming in 2027 is the all-new Hezbollah Rewards scheme, where 125,000 points can be exchanged for a custom-painted missile lofted towards Tel Aviv.

As funny as it is you can't. Somebody made the mistake of sending an 1$ transaction to a forbidden country on the visa network while testing a filtering technology, (which didn't work at the time, obviously). Seem like this triggered some control in the US, the company was contacted by a regulator

I work in QA.

Meaning I make sure that the websites I go over all have the secret Gay Code built in. See what it does is secretly pop up on the screen BE GAY so fast you won't see it--- but your brain will have! It's very cool technology that we are implementing so that all websites-- even the most innocuous-- further seed in the Gay Agenda.

You visit websites, it will eventually turn you gay. We are very proud of our work.

I thought it was the job of frogs to make people gay. Stop stealing jobs from frogs.

If I came from a wealthier family and went to private schools and all that I'd probably be an editor for Vogue and be a psychopath like Patrick Bateman. They just self-own when they ask a stupid question like this because they have no self-awareness or intelligence. I've never met anyone IRL who made more than 100k a year that wasn't an asshole. They don't kill people but they wouldn't put up a protest if it happened and they see the rest of us as vermin.

You are an idiot. Plenty of us that's make more than 100k are not right wing jackasses.
