    I love how 30 year old gamers are the new welfare queens.

        Nothing shatters the narrative of things need to be worked for, when businesses have all been all set since 2008 and now with advances in AI.

        Like, I have no idea what to even do anymore with my life it’s that bad. I’d love to explore possible interests but I have no idea if I can get a job in it. And I need to pick one thing because your job is literally the only thing you do and nothing else.

    They’re still angry at neurodivergent adults who do not work full time in the old-fashioned borderline-slavery works of today because they got their mental and physical conditions, but could be wildly productive (and happier) if only institutions put less obstacles and more flexibility for them to work on their special interests’ fields.

    But no, billionaires, keep trying to put neurodivergents into offices and call-centers (in my region) instead of focusing on their talents. 21st century capitalism is not only exploitative but dumb.

      I’d argue it’s worse.

      I’m neurodivergent and I’m begging porky to notice me and finally put me to work, but the porks are extremely picky these days.

      I can’t even get an entry level job because porks can just pick one of the many highly experienced perfect candidates he has to choose from. I can’t even get noticed.

      Why put you in a position that plays off what you’re good at and meets your needs when we can pimp you out like chattel labor?

      I’d argue 18-45 year old groypers are the youth wing of the gop’s white supremacy base with the majority being shitty boomers.

    they really think they are going to time all these horrible policies to recreate the industrial revolution or something

    “get out of the basement and go down the street to the new fully automated textile mill to be one of 3 people that works there, for $8 an hour”

      It’s simple logic: The industrial revolution was an abysmal time for the working class, therefore, they recreate those same abysmal conditions and they’ll recreate the same rapid expansion of industry!

          it’s all cargo cults, all the way down (at least among the ruling class)

          it’s actually kind of scary to see us going full warhammer 40k imperium this quickly, within living memory, like a short-cut was found through alienation
