Sharpen your fucking guillotine

I did not know this.  

The fuck is wrong with rich people ‘hey do you want a second plate’ no i want to make up a secret passive aggressive fork language so we can titter mockingly at that rube from the country who says he enjoyed the meal with his fucking mouth

a secret passive aggressive fork language i can’t breathe

here’s an infohazard for you: I always remember that this silverware code exists when I’m eating at a nice restaurant but I can never remember what it is so I’m always paranoid that I’m telling the waiter to get fucked without knowing it

Nah it's real, I was always taught growing up about the forks indicating that you're finished or not finished, it's more of a thing for very formal dinners where the waiters aren't expected to interrupt your conversation, so being able to express things non-verbally is useful.

u ever think about cicadas. they scream. fuck. die. absolute legends.

But of course your teacher is reliable to go instead.

BINGO.

the core tenets of most far-left ideology are pretty simple - we, collectively, produce more than enough resources to feed, house, clothe, educate, heal, and protect every single person on this planet. but we don’t. this is a moral failing of humanity, and needs to be corrected.

We, collectively, are not entitled to products of any individuals labor and thinking people should be forced to be generous under threat of violence is the moral failure of humanity

“so wait, you’re saying that in order to participate in society, I have to CARE about people? fuck that!!”

@the-ghost-of-potential “Expecting humanity to be moral is the moral failing of humanity” ?????

capitalism already advocates for violence and coercion so that a small amount of people might have food, shelter, and education. we are told, at risk of starvation, that we must sell our time - work for a wage - to an employer. we must sell our lives to capitalists in exchange for currency, so that we might obtain food and shelter. if one refuses to sell their time to a capitalist or become a capitalist themselves, they cannot survive. the choice is to participate in capitalism, or die. how is this not immoral? why do you hold this double standard? why is it that a system which allows millions to starve as an inherent part of its ideology (capitalism cannot exist without an impoverished class!) is, somehow, better to you than a system wherein an inherent part of its ideology is that all should be fed, housed, clothed?

someone else please explain why this is all very stupid because I no longer have the energy

Tbh I think you're going to find you differ on the basics here, you can't really have a proper argument when one sides thinks that people are intrinsically valuable even when they can't be exploited, and the other doesn't.

Translation: 99% of people did the bare minimum to get by, and the remaining fraction of people had to pick up the slack, creating lots of wealth as they did so.

This is without a doubt the single most ignorant sentence I’ve ever read on this website since people thought you could make a candy bar last forever.

Fave

The most Slavic thing ever

what the fuck. what the fuck. 

I lost it at 11

17? 17 people and a guitar??

#AND an accordion

i just feel like if a job pays less than $15/hr… they shouldn’t ask for experience.

like if im going to get a minimum wage job, im going to do the bare minimum.

i just don’t understand how we’re “all an important part of the company” and the pay gap is so big

Also if I’m being paid minimum wage, don’t expect me to be passionate about whatever it is you want me to do.

minimum wage = minimum effort

And minimum commitment. Give me a reason to be loyal. Ducking pay me

Peak capitalism expects maximum effort and maximum commitment for minimum pay and minimum loyalty.

When the employer’s attitude is ‘you’re replaceable’ then the employee attitude is ‘this is just a temporary job’

Maybe the people of tumblr will understand this

This is a false equivalency. Magic tools with thousands if not millions of uses are not the same as weapons which have one use. In this case, wands are more like cars that guns, in that they're dangerous if used maliciously or carelessly, but their benefits outweigh the risks. Maybe if guns had any other purpose than to harm, this argument would be a bit more coherent.
