You know what? I’m just gonna play video games even harder
My Schedule 1 empire is going to be massive by the end of the weekend.
Schedule 1 empire
Drugs or a game?
Both, as is tradition.
No one knows draining resources like a politician from Louisiana.

I wonder if there’s a specific name for that dynamic by which the ruling class separates work from reward so that they can keep the reward of other people’s work for themselves, then ends up conplaining that nobody wants to work any more.
Capitalism.
I was waiting for that one.
And no.
The same thing happens in state communism - in fact, it generally happens even faster, since the disconnect between work and reward is there from the start, and the party leaders are in such a perfect position to siphon off reward other people earned. They can do immediately what a capitalist system can only do after wealth has been concentrated and used to buy political power.
It comes with the establishment of a hierarchy by which some can arrange things such that they enjoy unearned privilege - it doesn’t much matter specifically how that hierarchy is established or nominally justified, and “capitalism” is just one of them.
Yeah. Separation from the results of work is a fucking issue. I do wish the old philosophers on this would get a new English translation. “Alienation from labor” is a fucking mouthful.
I’m working my 40 slave hours and I’ll spend my free time as I please, dork.
Same, but I have been considering switching to a new use of my free time, especially since video games don’t bring me any joy anymore.
I think I will dabble in carpentry…
Leave it to the wealthy to say the poors just aren’t working hard enough
Known welfare queen Mike Johnson
This from a man who professes to wasting his time talking to imaginary voices in his head. Fuck off Mike. You are a scam artist. Go away.
this is the guy so hung-up on gay porn he has to have his son ‘monitor’ his phone?
Yep they monitor each other’s porn viewing to ensure it doesn’t get “too gay.” You know, just normal father-son bondage stuff.
Eat shit and die, Johnson, you servile fuck.
Mike needs to quit wanking to his son’s porn and get his ass to work.
Mike would be far more productive if he just stayed home and jerked off all day tbh.

What if I told you…
A horde of aimless, depressed, isolated, self-destructive young men is the inevitable outcome of a political regime clinging to patriarchy and capitalism far beyond the point where anyone below the top 10% really got a good deal from either of those grifts.
He can drain the resources from my balls and ass
Ironic considering what he’s doing is hardly a job.
Me: working on a Saturday debugging a deployment, playing balatro between runs waiting for error messages:
People literally pay other people money to watch them play games all day. It is work.
Elon pays people to play his games for him. https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-admits-to-paying-people-to-play-video-games-for-him-2000552872
