Thank you SantasMaggotyCumFart

sigh another imagined argument about these mythical “Americans” I keep hearing about.

Most Americans also hate this system haha. I mean, McCarthyism still has its effects to this day, and maybe the people I’ve met are not representative of the general population, but I literally haven’t met one American “in love” with capitalism. The most pro-capitalist argument you’ll get here is “well yeah capitalism has its flaws, but it’s the best we got”…which is a bullshit argument, and is in fact the same argument the south used to convince people to keep slavery around fyi.

As a highly experienced murderer, I’m available for not murdering you and skinning your family alive in front of you for a low cost of just $40/hr.

They found Brian though? He died

Have fun with them P E R C S

I mean I agree with the general sentiment.

However, I also understand the previous commenter’s reasoning (or not…I might be shoving words in their mouth).

I think, especially in today’s world where basic technical competence is essentially a must, that in order to perform your job duties to a certain level of standard expected by your client or employer, you need to be able to perform basic technical problem solving. And I think this includes being able to figure out how to google “screen share, Windows”. And this includes many professions.

Surgeon? Maybe not. I just want to have a good surgeon.

But attorney and accountant? I would expect that if information needed to be shared with me, especially with urgency, that they would be able to confidently do so quickly, which may include setting up a quick zoom call (use Jitsi people!).

So actually I disagree with you- I actually may screen out certain professions if they show they lack basic technical competence, like setting up a video call, or creating a spreadsheet.

Amen, comrade.

My fragile masculinity 😔

Eh…you can pick any two examples and show anything really.

I know seriously lmao. I mean I know it’s anecdotal, but I’m in the US and my friends and I constantly criticize the US. Most people I know tend to agree with most criticisms, myself included.

Can you explain?

It’s satire. And it’s apparently doing its job swimmingly because people are on here talking about it.

who’s mr beast

In their defense, they only stated that they appreciated it…not that they’d listen.

“Vacation is basically just eating at different locations.”

I wasn’t equating slavery with capitalism here. I was comparing your reasoning with the reasoning of those who argued for the status quo during times of slavery.

“Slavery is one of the worst forms of economic oppression. Except, of course, all other times we tried running the economy without slavery.”
