I spent ten years in a plastics factory before switching to programming. I used to grab a roll of paper to sit on even though it made me look lazy compared to everyone else there, because standing is hard. So I feel that finding any new way to remind people every few years that we are sitting because others are standing is virtuous.
We also spend too much time on sympathy for people at the very bottom of the income tables, often there out of laziness or crime, compared to people who have twice the stress by being both low income and working hard for a living. They deserve more visibility.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoCorrect. The left tries to reach out to the proletariat but often only actually seems to speak to the lumpenproletariet. Marx thought the absolute bottom of society was scum, naturally fascist, and might as well not exist. Having been around your average bum on the west coast, it’s hard not to agree.
