Yeah no, fuck them too. Those people rarely produce anything of value, just stress and using workers as their personal trauma dump.

Maybe we can abuse religious doctrine that teaches about loving a neighbor or something.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

"Financial obesity" I like that, haven't heard that before. Is that yours? Or did you hear that somewhere?

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t recall where I originally found it, I’ve also seen ‘morbidly wealthy’.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Another banger, anyways have a nice day brother.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Financial obesity? More like socioeconomic cancer.

It's not just an excess of adipose tissue. It's a malignant tumor, and it's capable of metastasizing. It's already in society's lymph. We're cooked.

The book 'Freakomomics' deals, among many others, with the similarities between a corporate giant and a regular criminal organisation. In short, petty criminals risk death or prison for only two reasons: a) they feel they have no other choice and b) they are hoping, one day, to become part of the top members. That's about it. Think about it for a while and the argument is easily transposed to the '''legal''' corporate world, which also explains why middle managers tend to be obedient assholes who, instead of being mad at those exploiting them, exploit their underlings themselves.

50/hr guy is not welcome in my home, not because of his class but because I don't like bootlickers and that's a bootlicker right there.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

I hate to break it to you, but $50/hr is barely $100,000/yr. That's barely above low income where I live. That is not even remotely your enemy.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

If he won't get out of the way, yes he is.

Exactly why he shouldn't be acting like that. I didn't make him a bootlicker, he did. As I said, It's not his 'class' (ie. pay) that bothers me. It's their unwillingness to jeperdise their precious position while others wallow.

He likely got to the position that he did because he decided to be like that, their is no way for me to change his mind because a person like that won't risk their position for someone else, thats how they got to where they are in the first place. So unless they believe they will do even slightly better by joining us, they won't help

Have you only worked at one place your entire life? It would explain they you might not understand where I'm coming from. (no being hostile, actually asking)

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Remember Samuel L Jaskson in Django? All middle managers are that guy. Actively working AGAINST you changing the system. What value is there being in the house if everyone has a house.

[–] Kkk2237pl@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, that your enemy, not the person who makes 40k/hour, and his dividens and net worth skyrockets.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

You need to tell them that.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

If he's unwilling to change. Then yes. They are my enemy, if they are unwilling to stay out of it or be convinced otherwise then yes.

Too many of you seem to think you can fundamentally change people's minds regardless of a person's lot in life, that's crazy!

persons like that are often snakey people out for their people and themselves Caring little for the zobified grunts making nothing under them. To

The knew what they were doing when they brown nosed and stepped on colleagues on their way into management positions and we have nothing to offer these dollar driven pricks to get them to turn on their pay masters, their in to deep to lose it now.

Their no point in talking them down when they have little to no reason to stop it, it's why so many labor strikes turned violent back in the day.
