The term "natural gas" is propaganda.

@naugeleh social media compelled services.

Social media companies can be sued for basic moderation.

I don't recognize the authority of Texas.

For clarification. people who work in altruistic careers will be exploited because the people who work in these fields do not see any alternatives to fulfilling these social necessities, and so feel they have no choice but to accept the exploitation to fulfill what they see as a necessary role in society.

Those with power over others don't care about how necessary or important these social roles are and don't care about how the exploitation affects those who are subjected to it.

All they see, all they want to see, is that they can get away with paying people in these roles significantly less than what it would otherwise cost to employ anyone of similar experience or qualifications in any other field.

Careers which people are drawn to through affinity and altruism, such as nursing and teaching, will be maximally exploited by capitalist society, because a large part of the compensation people feel for such jobs lies in the gratification of doing an important job which is integral to society and community.

Reject corporate society's imposition of exploitative and corrupt self-reinforcing systems.

Build up communal education and health systems based on mutual aid and affinity.

End the exploitation of the empathetic.

Enlist the altruistic workers to be a part of mutualist systems where they are compensated fairly, monetarily if possible, but more importantly, through mutual support and care.

Organizing people to work together gets a lot easier when you realize that people don't have to engage with everyone else adversarially.

When people realize they can only control themselves, and that if they clearly and directly communicate their wants and needs, and accept what other people tell them, people tend to want to help each other.

People don't like helping each other if they don't feel like they have an option.

If people feel like they have a choice in helping each other, they become much more willing to do so.

they tried to bury us

what they did not know

is that we are potatoes

@Nezchan alright, so there's this group of secretive elites, who are so powerful that they can get away with anything, and they control all of our international processes!

Yeah, like Elon Musk and the Walton family

Wait, no, not like that, even more secretive!

@calcifer That doesn't actually matter, because none of the things they [the fraudsters] are doing are punishable, because they're operating within a system that is designed, by nature, to completely preclude accountability and regulation.

@calcifer You're right about all of that.

saying what I meant in a better way:

There is no way to force someone to revert a fraudulent charge. Even if you find out who stole yer crypto, the best you can do is shame them.

hahaha holy shit, I'm watching a documentary on why NFTs are bad, and realizing that the network of NFT grifters are assembling cults-on-demand to get middle class rubes to trade money for nothing.

Scams on an industrial scale.

The best zinger ever shitting on cryptocurrency from this video:

The one market that cryptocurrency has successfully disrupted is the market of fraud.

...A big population of people have willingly self-identified that they have substantial disposable income, poor judgment, low social literacy, a high tolerance for nonsensical risk, and are highly persuadable.

@clacke If the government wants to compel people to work in hospitals, every state has a medical division of their national guard/reserves, who have specifically agreed to be compelled to work for indeterminate periods in exchange for specific benefits, and who can be called up to fill critical service shortages in hospitals.

Also @Moon@shitposter.club lol instance mute I don't have to give a shit about your shitty opinions being on my dashboard.

@calcifer The adult version of "my high school bully interviewed at my work"

I feel like this song punches harder with every passing month. Now especially with the CDC "guidelines" that say that people can [be forced to] go back to work or school just 5 days after a positive covid test if they're "asymptomatic"

You know what that's really about? It's because the CDC determined that with how fast the plague is spreading this time around, if everyone who gets sick in the next few weeks were to take 10 days off, it would cause a widespread breakdown of services and logistics akin to a widespread accidental general strike.
