    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

      Anytime someone says how easy it is to do whatever liberal bullshit, I always ask them “Then why haven’t you done it yourself?”

      This question works great on people complaining about “illegals on welfare” too. If it’s so easy for people outside of this country to scam the government, then why aren’t you out there getting all that free shit for yourself? Just quit your job and collect your caddie and surf n’ turf dinners.

        Most of the time I hear this it’s from some white boomer who got actually did get a job by walking into a random place and giving the owner a firm handshake then getting a low interest mortgage off the back of it.

        They will then go on to complain about how everything is worse now except for it being impossible for anyone born after them to do the same.

    This isn’t being out of touch, this is flexing.

    He knows he can say whatever he wants and get away with it.

    The average freeze-gamer will continue to consume product and pay no attention to such statements.

      It’s even a bloody meme among the Pokémon fandom. “You’ll buy it anyway.”

      I deadass had to tell myself they’d pull that crap when Violet rolled around. Maybe the anti-gg crowd was right. Gamers may not be dead, but gaming certainly is. I don’t think I’ve played a non “retro” game in about a year except for two games: Hades and Have a nice death. Literally no one has made anything worth playing, especially from the triple A realm.

      In the most generous reading of this, it sounds like he’s saying the layoffs are temporary and those effected should just do gig work to bridge the gap. This is obviously how-much-could-it-cost ass shit, because CEOs always get these super cushy severance packages.

    I really dislike the term “corporate greed”. It attributes agency and malice to an nonhuman machine doing what it’s designed to do.

        I feel like born rich, start a business, and join the military were the first three, then we moved on to the college trap. Next step left is hurry up and starve.

        STEM or nothing bro.

        agony-deep not only is STEM low pay but employers are picky, cretinous bastards.

          Oh yeah, I forgot one more step.

          “Lol JK, engineering or nothing bro.” (Which also falls under the same problem as the rest of STEM. But hey, as someone who dropped out of STEM, it’s a bit of a consolation prize that I would have been fucked either way.)
