rediscovering ray troll's art in my fish era is such a delight. that guy makes art that sounds like his name. he was so right about fish worship

I don't care how poor a person is, if they're choosing to trade their time or labor for money, and aren't being coerced through any means other than needing to earn money, they aren't being "forced" into labor no matter what they're choosing to do. I hate this retarded socialist idea that needing to put forth any effort to survive is somehow immoral and a failing of society/capitalism/whatever. Just as much as I hate the idea that a person choosing to voluntarily trade time or effort is little, if any, different than slavery. It's also, to borrow a term I hate but people who think this way love to throw around, very classist to assume that a poor person is incapable of choosing what kind of work they do, or being able to make financial decisions for themselves.

But how would you divide the world into strict oppressor/oppressed binaries without ignoring all context to paint things in the most dramatic light possible?

"B-b-but we have TECHNOLOGY! That means nobody should have to work!" /s

Its not unpaid labor but it is underpaid labor, profits are stolen wages, big companies focus should be all their employees making more money annually not the ceo getting his stacks of cash higher annually while everyone else makes the same wage thats worth less and less every year. People hate work because working hard and doing your job well only benefits a bunch of rich people up at the top getting fatter and fatter while they also strip workers of more and more rights, protections and benefits so they can again, get more fucking money for themselves. Y'all wanna talk about people not having to work at all to survive being dumb? Lets talk about the assholes sitting on stacks of bloodmoney spending all day buying every apple product in existence just to destroy for yt views and fucking kids on islands. Yes people should have to work, but your labor is worth a lot more than you've been led to believe by this shitstain capitalist hellhole of a world.

Reblog it. I want this to be on Tumblr radar by end of the week, i want my notes to be useless from the discourse, i want every single person on Tumblr to have seen this post at some point
