we will be free when other progressives stop telling people (who are disproportionately marginalized) to get a job (joke or not) because it has ties to ableism, classism, and prejudice.

Like I'm sorry but if you're gonna call the two biggest fucks in this country "nazis" guess what, you standing around with a paper sign ain't gonna make them go away or have a change of art. That's what a rifle is for.
Genuinely crazy how a lot of people think that if other people can't afford to live, then they're just lazy and don't deserve the basic right to at least live a comfortable life
not to be the friend that's too woke but finding a job especially now is fucking impossible so imagine that times the systemic oppression a marginalized person faces.
It makes me wanna claw my eyes out. Everything is so slow right now. Swaths of people got laid off close to the elections and even more so afterward. Can't even get into entry-level positions being overqualified.
I think about this constantly nowadays honestly of how difficult things are rn for everyone. It’s honestly why it sucks seeing a rise in people looking down on mutual aid and crowdfunding when there’s literally no other ways to get any sort of funds for things without community support
I don't even blink when I see this shit anymore it's so common but it's always in the back of my mind. I find the implication that people only end up puritans if they aren't wage slaving 24/7 really fucking weird
The majority of the people causing problems have jobs, in fact so much so that they control the damn government '_' it's frustrating. I appreciate you calling it out cause I've felt very awkward doing so in the past cause of how many people resort to doubling down
I get the sentiment of "arguing about dumb shit accomplishes nothing, you should find a healthier use for your time & a reminder of how things actually work outside your echochamber" but yea it's entirely possible to phrase that without calling someone lazy/stupid/entitled/etc.
This is why i slightly prefer "go outside" or "touch grass" since like finding some local of group of mutaul interests to you does a hell of a lot more politically than arguing about how you shouldn't do this and that or you're a bad progressive and yapyap, Like just fucking talk to other ppl lol
Been looking for a job all of last year & am still looking but there's not enough currently to meet demand for the general public, plus I'm trans & disabled so I'm at a disadvantage of even getting hired.
Even as someone who has made jokes about people not having a job or anything better to do, I low key agree with this. Actually looking for a job is awful and I don’t wish it on anyone.
I don't get it tho bcz like... I swear there's some hidden system of discrimination. Bcz I know ppl that can get a job by just existing and are just consistently hired, Then quit for a while, new job in weeks, repeat. But others like myself that every time I quit, spend years finding a new one...
There's been this dumb little trend on tiktok lately of "mfw I say I'm queer too loud around the polyamorous nonbinary gofundme gay" And it's like, huh? What happened to solidarity with your peers and not trying to be 'one of the good ones' when oppressors see us all as fodder?

Everyone hates global elites stop contributing to their control.
