Beat me to it. It’s probably old news but if you haven’t explicitly read it, I’d give the article your lifestyle has already been designed a read.
The surest sign the capitalists know their class interests and are rallying against the poor is the fact that they will not even make concessions where capital and labor both win.

I generally agree. But I also tend to attribute this more to bourgeois sadism than class consciousness. Many of them seem to truly feel they’re not winning unless the prole class is actively suffering.
If there’s no path for the bourgeoisie to massively better themselves, they’ll take relative betterment by destroying social reproduction.
Class is nothing more than a proxy for social status, and social status isn’t advanced under capitalism by lifting all boats.
Yup. I once had a job at a place called Kantar Media and it was incredibly toxic. Lots of backstabbing and favoritism. Lots of writeups and disciplinary actions taken against the most mundane of “infractions.” Lots of work confusion, with no one taking responsibility.
I’m honestly surprised there hasn’t been a violent outburst or mass shooting yet. They treated their employees like absolute dog shit.
That just sounds like every company.
The one I’m at started with 6 people and has now grown, and the backstabbing and favoritism are starting to appear after years of relentless effort on my part to prevent it.
It’s the natural state of things under capitalism, and fighting it without an organized union is a losing battle.
I’m so sick of being told I need to “network” just so I can be given permission to literally start my life.
So I’m stuck bedrotting because I wasn’t born rich? Sorry some of don’t do that fancy schamcy rich people crap.
One thing is that these types of people are totally clueless. If you can get into a job where they don’t have anyone who can actually do work, you can straight up roll them.
They have no idea what to do when things actually get done because the only thing they can do is have meetings about who they think they’re in charge of.
The PMC and executive classes are straight up children.
Fuck networking, just do shit.
😔
If only there was someone to teach them the virtues of civility!
there’s been a trickle of people reminding bosses that unions are the alternative to a mob killing the factory owner and it’s only going to get more frequent.
