right-winger: leftist pinkos just want to redistribute the wealth and expand the size of government!!

an actual leftist: actually those are short-term solutions proposed only as long as capitalism is a thing. as long as an elite class hierarchically controls the means of production and sources of wealth, higher taxation on the wealthy and more middleman government programs/regulations will be necessary. in the transition from capitalism to socialism, we do favor large-scale wealth redistribution, but from there we want the entire economic framework changed to one involving democratic job complexes and production for human need rather than for the profit of the elite class; at that point, "big government" for the sake of redistribution and regulation will no longer be necessary because the system as a whole would actually be structured to work for the people rather than just mostly elites, and thus egalitarianism and oversight by the people for the people would be written into the economy's genetic makeup.

right-winger: leftist pinkos are always trying to take away our guns!!

an actual leftist: actually many of us support the inalienable right of self-defense for the oppressed against their oppressors. guns and gun culture are incredibly dangerous when linked with reactionary ideals, which is why we want cops, violent patriarchs, and fascists disarmed. in imperialist white supremacist heteropatriarchal capitalism, the oppressors should relinquish their guns first.

right-winger: leftist pinkos don't want people to keep the product of their labor!!

an actual leftist: actually we want a system where people are better able to retain the product of their labor; if you work for a boss in a capitalist firm (i.e. most people) the grand majority of your labor product belongs to the boss and you have no say over what happens with it or with production as a whole.

right-winger: leftist pinkos hate freedom!!

an actual leftist: actually we want more freedom for the average person, in the sense that we want all people to have influence over and access to the things that involve them and the things they need. flat workplace democracy is more conducive to human freedom than vertical workplace autocracy. reduced working hours that arise from automation and democratic production-for-need are more conducive to human freedom than long hours of exploited labor for the benefit of capitalists.

Undercover boss is such a bullshit show

[wwwdotamandapleeeasedotcom]

WHY!!!

[fullten-deactivated20240430]

A boss going through all levels of THEIR company? That should be standard. ALL BOSSES SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. That should be everyday. Like, this is your money? This is your company? You own this? You should know it?

But the endings are the worst. They pick like 4-5 employees, decide whether or not they are “worthy” of the money.

These bosses hear, THEY HEAR, their employees say shit like, “I have to work three jobs to support myself.” “I had to work while I was on chemo because I couldn’t afford not too.” “I can’t even afford to take care of my kids on this salary.”

The boss hears this. Gives them money. Tearful thank you from those 4 employees.

What about your hundreds to thousands of other employees?????

Like these greedy manipulative fucks understand that these people NEED money, but they only give an adequate amount to four people???? When everyone in their company needs the company they are dedicating their lives too to care about them?? And pay them a living wage???

Like, how heartless of a person can you be, to know, TO KNOW, TO SEE IT IN YOUR FACE, that your company is working people to death, and you just give some people money for the cameras and tell your other employees to go fuck themselves

[benefitscrounger]

it’s nothing but poverty porn, and a way of making people think that bosses aren’t so bad, see, they gave money to these people so they don’t starve how selfless of them!! ignoring the fact that those people (and all the employees) should’ve been getting a living wage in the first place.

[mintendo96]

Like they portray their hardships as if they arent inherently their fault. Like omfg this person had to work and take care of their dying husband?! That literally would not happen if they gave people adequate healthcare and pay so that when an emergency happens they can take a fucking break. Or the people who say they work three jobs thats because this fucker doesn’t pay a living wage.

Fuck off with your ‘charity’ work when literally being a decent human being would have not created these situations in the first place.

Here’s basically every Undercover Boss episode ever:

Boss: My name is Whitey Duderson, and I’m C.E.O. of a massive international corporation. This week, I’m gonna disguise myself and go undercover so I can spy on my employees! Boss: *wears fake glasses or like grows his beard out or something* Boss: First I’m gonna try a service job! Service Worker: Okay so this is a pretty simple job, all you have to do is this and this, go to it! Boss: *fucks everything up* Service Worker: Wow, this guy is just not service work material! Boss: I guess I really have to respect service workers more! Not, like, pay them more. Just pay lip service to how hard their jobs are. Boss: Okay next I’m gonna look in on one of our supervisors. Supervisor: *acts horribly abusive* Boss: Wow, that supervisor was horribly abusive and it made me so mad! I could have stopped it, but that would have meant breaking cover, so I guess the victims just had to suffer for the sake of good TV, huh? Boss: Oh hey, here’s a woman and/or PoC who does an important job in our company! Woman and/or PoC: Really sucks trying to feed my kids with the long hours and low pay, you know? Kinda wish corporate would do something about that. Boss: Wow, what an incredible work ethic! I’d love to have more workers like that, so I can exploit – ERR I MEAN so that they can teach others in the company their incredible work ethic! Boss: Okay, now time to reveal my TRUE IDENTITY! Boss: Hi, employees that I spent the past few days lying to; I’m actually Whitey Duderson, C.E.O. of this company! Employees: *gasping* whaaaaaaaaat Boss: So like, yeah, I’m gonna give you a pittance of money, start an awareness campaign, and/or implement a policy that we should have had in the first damn place. Also, abusive supervisor, I’m not gonna fire you but you might wanna consider not abusing anymore? Just a thought. Employees: omg this is the best boss anyone could ask for! No, really, this is as good as it gets in this capitalist hellscape! Boss: *gets out in front of entire company* Hi, entire company. Here’s a video of me being a fuckup, and a maudlin speech about how much I learned from you, so I can make you briefly forget that I’m exploiting you. Best company ever, amirite? Entire Company: *cheering because they want to keep their jobs* Screen Text: Two weeks later, all that stuff the boss said came to pass! Look at their smiling faces! Not much has actually changed, but we want you to remember these smiling faces because this show is naked propaganda!

Here is some news for… American liberals. The reason Trump is heading to the Oval Office is because the Democratic party rigged the primaries to ensure that a candidate who could have beaten Trump, Bernie Sanders, did not get on the ticket. You want to blame someone, blame Clinton and the rotten-to-the-core Democratic party leadership. […] Trump isn’t the antithesis of liberal America. You liberals created him. You unleashed this monster. It is you in the mirror. You stayed silent, you took no stand while your country was stolen from you. In fact, you did worse: you enthusiastically voted time after time for those who did the stealing.
