Temporarily embarrassed capitalist!

Just crosspost it.

What if I told you I still don't know how to crosspost on Piefed 😭

I hate having to copy the link and title manually. Call me lazy. DX

It's done.

My Coworkers Always Tell Me I’m A Capitalist, But I Never Found Out Why.

Some trees are in favor of the axe party, thinking they’ll one day become the blade. ¯\(ツ)/¯

It's a state of mind. It goes "money money money i want it all fuck you"

Lemonade capitalist.

Not always. Sometimes it's "No one want to work anymore, everyone is lazy. We must work for shit wages to let the billionaires get theirs. It's only American"

I'm not telling some rando how much money I have. or what forms of money I have those numbers in

You’re a nanocapitalist if the dividends from the shares/funds you own buy you a coffee every few months while you work to make ends meet

Once we get rid of all dem dam illegals then I can get me one of dem high paying techno computer jobs! -America…

Fair, but you’re probably not working a job that would make it super surprising.

Like, I work at a bakery. If one of my coworkers has a couple mil somewhere, why do they deal with customers?

Go team!

Would that just make him an ist?

Oh, I like that!

I wouldn't call somebody a capitalist because they work for money. That's sadly just the way it is. Capitalism is a system based around capital and not just money.

Here in Australia, there's a stereotype that Aboriginal people are lazy, because they don't like working all day to make capitalists rich. Well I don't like working all day to make capitalists rich either, and if My ancestors only had to work a few hours a day to survive, I'd be resentful about it too.

The precolonial Australian landscape was carefully managed to improve the ability of the land to support people. Aboriginal people used fire to control the development of plant life to create ideal habitats for the animals they hunted. The ecosystem was engineered to improve efficiency. That's why they didn't have to work long hours. They worked smarter, not harder. They built an ecosystem that made life easier.

Today I learned about the proper way to hunt crabs in the land where I live. You use a two-pronged stick, and you don't stab the crab. You let it grab on. Young crabs will run away from you, so you don't chase them, they're not done growing up yet. The fully grown crabs will come towards your stick, and then you can have them. So you don't waste time trying to chase down small crabs that don't have much meat, and in so doing, you preserve the environment. You take what you need, and it's easier than fighting against nature.

Fight nature? No way! That's for white fellas. Aboriginal people didn't do that. They followed methods that have been improved over tens of thousands of years to live without harming the land, carefully keeping it intact for the next generations. If you fucked with the land and made it unsustainable for the next generation, you destroyed your way of life. That's a murder-suicide against your entire family. Nobody's gonna let you do that. People would stop you.

A nihilist, if you will.

Sub shaming is not allowed

I'm not calling the worker a capitalist. The landlord with 4 houses rented out for top dollar is a capitalist. The asshole I worked for a while back who didn't have the money to give us a raise, yet had a million dollar motorhome, a yacht and constantly went on vacation. Capitalist

some people with enough money to never have to work again just want to have jobs to occupy some of their time

Yeah, but I’ve worked with people like that before and it’s not a secret that they can quit at any time
