The tech industry is uniquely qualified as
one of the most important components of the modern industrial complex
which requires highly skilled labor to undertake and utilize
which is affected by the dynamic where:education, especially liberal arts
education, tends to produce humans who can see through the lies of authority
yet which is disadvantaged because:tech workers are paid salaries that are
just bonkers in relation to their output ("yeah it'll be done compiling once
this game of League of Legends finishes") (which isn't exactly unfair because
programming is taxing on the brain)
however, the game industry has shown that passion is a suitable exchange in
return for monetary compensation, and thereforepeople who make games tend to
be more leftist, as they are put in situations that higher paid employees are
likely to be able to ignore due to their higher social class
which kinda makes sense, because the most progress towards unionization is
happening in the games industry.

all games that you can lose are capitalist games. All of their mechanics are
abstractions upon the competition between the player and the computer (and
possibly other players), which creates a disparity of outcomes - some must
win, others must lose.
I think that's okay, though. There's something inherently satisfying about
power. I believe such interactions should exist in our diversions, not our
institutions.

remote jobs are less common these days because they're realizing which parts
can be either automated or are extraneous.
the entire capitalist machine runs on like, 50,000% more labor than it needs.
It's not that complicated, it's not very revolutionary, just a lot of
duplicated effort and meaningless communicational transactions.
I'm kind of glad they're getting rid of all the jobs. Maybe it'll free up
people to do something productive, for once, if only we had the capital to

game designs are like a presentation - given to the company as a pitch for the
product. It'd be recorded and used as training material for new employees.
It was, of course, developed using knowledge gained in the before.
But anyway it was like a roadmap - a guidebook - a puzzle - and a frame
Then, each piece was created with a great focus - and people were assigned to
prepare for certain parts. This way, you could keep the most skilled workers
and
disregard the rest. What happens when they're unemployable? AI will replace
them. But they're still good fine people who we chose to have at our company.
So
why should they be punished? We as a society should care for all those who will
not or cannot contribute to the system - it's built into our very genetic code.
Cooperation is the essence of our liberation - without two perspectives, we are
bound to be lost. Once lost, diversity of thoughts is often quite sought as a
"secret sauce" that describes when we are lost.
These words may not inspire thee. They might even never be false. It could just
not be your understanding. That's okay.

I did see that post but I was mostly responding to you.
There's a particular category of "leftist" who, to put it gently, have a
greatly simplified view of the world in which "the only war is class war."
I wanted to explain how the viewpoint of "the only war is the class war" is
more developed, rather than simplified. I wanted to express that it takes
nuance to understand that all oppression is connected and is derived from the
same source - the corruption of power.
They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as
distractions from the "true" cause of bringing about a new economic system -
unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
It's not true that those who believe in the class war disregard these things.
That's just not right to me.
Basically, they're narrow-minded bigots.
I was included in your first statement and I'm not a bigot so I wanted to
stand up for myself.

if you attempt to be exempt from proving [deserve-tion/desertion] you will be

I'd rather have 500 people sitting on the couch eating cheetos than 5 people

You need to trust both the government and corporations equally. It's best to
work together so you can actually accomplish something. Instead we're just
cast at each other like weapons or banelings. Corporations primarily through
social media indoctrination and media, and governments through
anti-corporation bullshit - the anti-work hysteria is is stoked while the
government stokes the flames of racism and mysogyny. The people through riots
and civil disobedience. Also the cops and military and all the other
institutions are all like that too, but with differing cultural memes and

economic warfare involves the destruction of other corporations (possibly in

unions are the ships of the tumultuous capitalistic seas that protect workers
from the storm. everyone should be a part of a union. the corporations can
battle as they will, but we humans are not going to turn on each other. it's
something they claim to know as an absolute fact, but really it's just based
on a mistake. sorta like being deceived by happenstance.
the sun lights up the sky until the earth conceals it, and night does return
'till the sky's next alive. oh, but the sky knows all too well the borders we
draw in the sand. how cherished, how grand! the ways in which we choose to
stand. upon whose land does your feet stand? marvelous.
... it's the same thing, just in a more abstract plane than the surface of the
earth. really it's kinda one-dimensional (money is sorta like a 0 or a 1 - you
eather have it or you don't)
