Fuck you if your body breaks down doing manual labor to fix King Bazinga’s air conditioning, or to unclog the pipes after he eats too much le epic bacon and pushes out a brick, though. Better hope you’re charismatic and entertaining on GoFundMe. smuglord

    Plenty of people went to college and then didn’t do an honest day’s work thereafter.

    every accusation a confession

      Being really awful at Diablo 4 and Belden Bing and tweeting the play-by-play of a prolonged midlife crisis is hard work billionaire-tears

        It’s funny. I guess what I’m saying is that every Hexbear poster should get paid for their posts since we’re hard at work. If I become president, I will use the entire U.S. military budget to fund the Department of Memetic Warfare. There will be a shitposting division recruited straight from Hexbear, like the Praetorian Guard of old—it will be a cut above the rest.

    i went to college and no one will hire me now (i’m either ‘over qualified’ for unrelated entry level jobs or ‘under qualified’ for anything related to my fields of study)

    workers: please mr. porky, please let me work just one more hour this week at the slop depot! I need to pay rent!

    porky: NO ONE WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE! THIS WHOLE COUNTRY IS LAZY!

    workers: please mr. porky, give me a job, i’m begging you, look, look, i went into crippling debt to get a college degree!

    porky: DEGREE?! COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE LAZY WOKE GOOD FOR NOTHING COMMIES WHO DON’T WANT TO WORK A DAY IN THEIR LIVES! (not pictured: porky’s nephew with a degree in ‘’‘communications’‘’, given a high-level job they are unqualified for)

    workers: but mr. porky i thought you were a ‘jobs creator’?

    porky: THAT’S RIGHT YOU PEONS WOULD HAVE NOTHING WITHOUT ME! BY THE WAY I’M FIRING 99% OF THE WORKFORCE AND REPLACING THEM WITH AI THAT DOESN’T WORK, AND THE 1% REMAINING WILL DO ALL THE EXTRA WORK FOR NO ADDITIONAL PAY! NOW TELL ME I’M AN AMAZING GENIUS INNOVATOR OR ELSE I’M CUTTING YOUR HOURS TO ONE DAY A WEEK!

      There will be a day where humanity looks back and laughs at a system where you had to ask for permission to work, let alone from uptight elitists that keep angrily yelling at the work itself to start doing itself.

    seems like the trade off that’s already here is this:

    blue collar/trade: destroy your body, potentially good pay but it varies wildly, expect to work 50-70 hr weeks, great job security in your field (better with union)

    white collar/office: save your body (but destroy it in other ways), good pay generally compared to labor put in, 40-45 hr weeks, extremely precarious job security, expect long periods of unemployment

    i used to get jealous of hearing every redditor complain about their coding job, my options were taken from me so it’s a bit of bitterness, but now it should just be solidarity we are all proles together

    What’s up with the “blue collar” vs “white collar” division the bourgeoisie drive between the working class? Conservatives seem to think all white collar workers are billionaires or something?

    I had to drop out of college after a year and I’m still pissed off about it a decade later. It’s not others respect I’m worried about, it’s my having not earned my own respect. shut the fuck up musk

    Being conscious about being dumber than most other people sucks. Fucking I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream bullshit. I fucking hate society.

    Not to mention the still owing money with no real upside.

      I suppose it still counts as work when he goes to one of his bazinga factories and torments workers and fires them on the spot for petty tantrum reasons, no matter how fun that is for him.
