But the endings are the worst. They pick like 4-5 employees, decide whether or not they are “worthy” of the money.

These bosses hear, THEY HEAR, their employees say shit like, “I have to work three jobs to support myself.” “I had to work while I was on chemo because I couldn’t afford not too.” “I can’t even afford to take care of my kids on this salary.”

The boss hears this. Gives them money. Tearful thank you from those 4 employees.

What about your hundreds to thousands of other employees?????

Like these greedy manipulative fucks understand that these people NEED money, but they only give an adequate amount to four people???? When everyone in their company needs the company they are dedicating their lives too to care about them?? And pay them a living wage???

But nationalism is just another spectacle. It is another spectacle built on a meaningless conception that will never fulfill what people are actually craving. Love of country, or love of your “people” is just as meaningless as brand loyalty to Coca-Cola, and it would result in exactly the same kind of alienation (on top of the egregious acts of violence that would result in attempting to build a world based on it).
