The worker sinks to the level of a commodity and becomes indeed the most wretched of commodities

That this is as good as it gets

Begging some of you to go outside

when they’re right they’re right

To their credit, that is the top comment in the thread.

What can you say about the guy? When you’re right, you’re right.

I don’t know how it’s possible to believe in toxic masculinity and also unironically believe men are literally all incurably innately bad. Toxic masculinity implies the existence of nontoxic masculinity. It implies that our societal concept of manhood is damaging, and hurts everyone - men and woman and nb people - and that we need to take steps to change it. I see this “yes all men are evil” stuff as just venting, and it doesn’t hurt me when people say it because it doesn’t really affect me, and I believe that the people saying it have things they’re totally justified in venting about, but like in this conversation, it clearly hurts other people.

It’s so hard to convince libs you can’t just write off most people on the planet as irredeemable if you’re going to have a functional society. It’s an incredibly reactionary point of view.

They asked when I went. They didn’t use the words “jury nullification” but they asked if anyone in the room would be unwilling to convict if they were convinced someone violated a law that they didn’t agree should be a law (giving a stupid example of “making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich”).

the real winner here

damn almost like acab or something idk
