 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.

 Capitalism pays developers massive salaries because it doesn't want them

 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
 start.

 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.

 @user-1464 @cyborganism @GammaGames 
 
 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 dismantle capitalism, they'll contest you.
 
 if you attempt to claim power, they'll show you how.
 
 if you attempt to be exempt from proving [deserve-tion/desertion] you will be
 viewed as an enemy, which is how they keep the productive in line.
 
 I'd rather have 500 people sitting on the couch eating cheetos than 5 people
 in a trenchcoat doing 1500 AI's jobs.
 
 if they don't need your labor, then they don't need you. universal basic
 income is necessary and basic.

 high margin jobs: jobs that produce something which can be sold to capitalism    │
 in exchange for dollars which can purchase things. Useful for abstracting        │
 value and acquiring something that you don't have access to in your local        │
 economy.                                                                         │
 low margin jobs: jobs that produce things for your local economy. This keeps     │
 capitalist prices low and prevents you from being dependent on them for food,    │
 clothing, houses, and other essentials.                                          │
 both are important, both are valued just as much. Your labor is what's           │
 important, not the output. Existing alongside capitalism is nice because it      │
 allows for certain abstractions, like the ability to magically turn goat         │
 cheese into chainsaw teeth.                                                      │
 However living UNDER capitalism is intensely alienating, which is why            │
 alienated people will spend so much money at Magic the Gathering tournaments     │

 you to do so. They don't care if you want their products, they just demand

 it's so easy even a "basically-everybody" could do it!

 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
 methods.

 economic warfare involves the destruction of other corporations (possibly in
 other countries) via a slow march toward haegemony.
 
 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)
