It's poetically ironic how much the upper-middle-class will spend all that money just to look like us poors.

From the white-collar suburbanite that calls himself a 'redneck', to the CHUDs with sparkling pickups, I like to refer to them as 'cosplay cowboys'. What's worse is that they're making their LARP somewhat real, look at how much cities, especially walkable cities are rapidly gentrifying, while the wasteful consoomery suburbs that cosplay cowboys prefer are now the closest thing to a place where us poors can live.

So in some sense, suburbs are where both the rich and poor live together for wildly different reasons.

And do they not realize that artists generally have a bit more freedom in their craft than most other businesses?

Why do you think porky didn't give that much of a shit when the Haye's code was repealed despite benefiting from the idea of conformity = good? Because they generally let their artists have leeway.

Hell, where are THEIR art successes? The Haye's Code being abolished was a net positive for art. Charlie Hebdo would destroy Stonetoss and Wyatt Mann combined, Stan Kelly is objectively funnier than the guy he's trying to parody. No really, I want to see from them how a game is properly done, might as well learn from the standing authority themselves.

Seconded, it's ironic. They show how much of a rebel they are by proudly wearing "conformist" as a badge of honor.

Just saying, I was born in 1999 and "am I gay" surged as I grew up.

Unspoken rizz.

The profit motive isn't there. Enshittification is, for lack of a better term, digital rent-seeking behavior. An anticapitalist site is ideologically opposed to the profit motive and is not seeking out profits above all else, as long as it is being properly funded by donations: we have nothing to worry about.

4chan is somewhat similar, 4chan is not a business and isn't looking for a profit. But I get the feeling there is no shortage of megachurches or Koch industries funding the site.

Chad Naruto:

  • Hard work beats out talent.
  • Naruto is an outcast for being a "freak" turns out what makes him a "freak" ends up saving everyone's ass multiple times.
  • Yeah, Naruto was one of 'the specials', but at what cost?

Fuck Landlords and any and all rent-seekers.

Get a fucking job. No, being a lucky bastard is not a job.

maybe-later-kiddo: "We have to give the republicans everything they want or else it will alienate the working class, and then they'll just take everything they want AND call us SJWs!"

Like a left-wing version of a pick-me.

For anyone here looking for "anti-Musks", here's a list:

  • Peter Rawlinson: the founder of Lucid and the chief engineer for the Tesla model S. He's a capitalist LIB, but at least he isn't Elongated Muskrat.

-Zhang Kejian: the current directior of China's National Space Administration

  • Li Yue: The president of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation

  • Xi Jinping to some extent, who's trained as a chemical engineer

  • Lê Thị Thu Thuỷ: CEO of the Vietnamese EV company VinFast

CHUD is an acronym for cannibalistic humanoid undergroud dwellers. It's a reference to movie, but for whatever reason CHUD became the slang term for reactionaries. You'll every now and then see "hog" used the same way.
