I guess this might be potentially better suited for the dunk tank? Although here most of the image is the dunking itself, rather than the thing to be dunked on
That mentality just betrays that the person saying it hates their job, hates their life, and only tolerates it because they are paid. They have nothing of vaule to share with the world, and they had all of their creativity beaten out of them. They just exist to work and consume. Their entire existance has been prescribed to them and they aren't the least bit bothered by it. And it's honestly really sad to see someone so deep in their own trauma and abuse from capital that they literally can not imagine a world where someone has a fulfilling life spent in a meaningful way.
it hates their job, hates their life, and only tolerates it because they are paid.
i.e. :reddit-logo: . I honestly find it scary how the only metric people on that website use to measure a job is the income it affords them. I chalked it up to an American phenomenon (which in my experience is kind of up there, too), but it's a whole different level with reddit.
Leftists: "People know what they want, and work should be done in order to directly solve problems. What you do outside of your work is your business, and that's where you can feel free to do hobbies."
- Verdict: Elitist drivel out of touch with reality
Hogs: "People are bumbling idiots who are too stupid to make their own life choices, so we should keep them busy with pointless labor for the benefit of a small technocracy of lazy bums revered as omniscient sages. Then turn around and call anyone who questions this as the REAL lazy bums envious their udders don't feed the oligarchy as well as their peers."
- Verdict: NOT elitist, completely in touch with the people.
I make music and also have an unrelated 50 hour/week job. I have to give myself insomnia to have any available time to do what I want. If I had kids or a serious medical ailment or elderly relatives to care for, my waking hours would be nothing but work and various chores. Yeah, workers don't seem to have pursuits outside of work. We have to harm ourselves to pursue them.
Musician as well with a partner, 2 pups, other hobbies, and full time job. The struggle is real, nevermind having to coordinate with other people's schedule.
There are communists all over a bunch of chan boards, likely because they don’t wanna switch formats. I doubt there are many outsiders purposefully coming in and agitating for communism over there
It doesn't do anything but occasionally it's kind of cathartic to yell at fascists at their home base. Honestly it's just kind of fun to yell at bozos in general. Look at every time a reactionary wanders onto this site. The threads get huge.
Some people just like to argue for fun
I mean it's infinitely more productive than sitting here, a place where everyone is already a :LIB:
Obviously spending this time in politically neutral poplar places like, I don't know, /r/pics or something is more productive, and doing shit in real life is even better, but this hellhole of a site is just about the worst waste of time on the entire internet
It's nice to share memes with people who aren't fucking psychos. Also a lot of people here knows cool shit you wouldn't find in places that aren't an ecochamber like this
sure, but riley asked about specifically agitation, not general use of a website
Isn't /pol/ a different color?
Yep, blue background (signals 4chan's SFW boards, but was 8chan's default theme) with political flags means most likely 8chan's /leftypol/ (or, possibly, 8chan /pol/). Their similar screencap in the booru doesn't confirm which.
Fascists and liberals both perceive the world in terms of IQ levels
I like the Soviet idea of proletarian art. There's inherent economic determinism to how art is produced and how creative thought is taught. Some can overcome those barriers against the odds but there are countless would-be virtuoso pianists out there who couldn't afford the piano, lessons, conservatory, or time to reach that level. To take up painting or sculpture in a meaningful way is thousands of dollars and hours. There's no societal push to democratise participation in art or feed starving artists, with art serving as a phrenology cudgel by the ruling class as they patronise shit art to benefit themselves. That can be partly achieved through state patronage programmes like FDR's Works Progress Administration paying artists a monthly stipend to make whatever, but actual art needs to come from the ability to think critically and draw on multiple knowledge bases. It's only by jumpstarting class consciousness that we see a non-commodified hippie bullshit form of self-actualisation. Giving people access to art, the means and education to produce art, and access to the things that inspire art are all critical components to art changing.
These aren't the kind of people to ever adopt a shelter dog, but surely they've at least seen what happens when you put an animal in a desperate environment. Its personality can't flourish, it doesn't want to play or explore, the trauma accumulates rapidly even without economic pressures. Take a shelter dog out of the shelter and it's an entirely new dog once you've restored their dignity and given them a secure foundation.
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

How many discoveries died with the starving children who would have produced them? How many of those discoveries were tied to plants or animals that are rapidly going extinct? The waste of potential built into the system is so overwhelmingly disgusting.
I am the shelter dog and I'm never getting dignity or security again :sadness-abysmal:
how do I escape...
Wouldn't have a clue. We've got the commodified form of that escape in the form of social media and naive art marketplaces like Etsy, but a humanities education of any kind is a massive threat to power. Even if you end up better than the academic artists, your exposure comes at the cost of large sons of the people who buy art. Your patronage comes from fitting into that system and endorsing the things that are actively constraining art, or fitting the narrow countercultural band they'll still feature in circles. If you tried that with poetry, I know a surgeon's daughter with a masters in it who's trying to become a professor and editor. Because she's a surgeon's daughter, she has a r/politics understanding of art and that's the root of whatever executive decisions she'll make in your schooling/publishing.
That's why I'm a dadaist. Fill the galleries with urinals and burn culture to ash. There's nothing sacred about what we have and a reasonable future only happens when we attack its legitimacy.
Just because all of their creative energy was ground to dust by the STEM "education" apparatus they think everyone who is "below them" (i.e. everyone except the makers of the MCU) is incapable of doing anything remotely creative themselves.
Also, I guarantee this person has never felt anything by reading poetry. Maybe read one or two critically awarded poems, or thought that clever rhymes are all the rage, but nothing more.
incel NEET website thinks productive workers are the rotten ones lmao
Never gonna get tired of rantposting. The Harry Potter one is the best one, I think.
