Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

God only got one day of rest, you deserve more rest than God?

"I DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS!!!" - person that voted for the candidate that promised more work without more pay

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago

His base legit acts like a class of peasants for this man. It is the most insane thing to watch in real time.

The mantra I was told was always 'add value' at your job.

When I read volume one of capital I came to understand that this was willingly giving more of my labour for free on top of the labour capital was already profiting from (after all I am only given a job earning x units/hour as long as capital, via management upwards, earns x+1/units from that labour). Thus wealth trickles upwards in capitalism. Not down.

Everyone bought the 'add value' line and repeated it in work as though the were doing something great - us humans tend to believe what we are told (and once those neural pathways are burned they don't change easily), which is in large part why those without empathy are able to succeed. We need to rely on each other and they don't give a fuck.

Another one is "always use other people's money" (from think and grow rich, or whichever popular book it came from). If you're Elon Musk looking to hedge risk when buying twitter then fair enough, otherwise you go cap in hand to capital, and pay it a portion of the wealth you create for the privilege of being loaned the capital to begin with. Capitalists want you to use other people's (actually their) money in order that they can take their cut of your hard work.

Just for that I'm playing games my entire shift.

This monster feeds on media attention. Let's all stop relating every stupid things he says and focus on basically anything else, it will always be more positive.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 6 hours ago

he'd enjoy that. I'm not sure you would though.

[–] ghosthacked@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 hours ago

He'd only do that if you gave it as a gift and put a bow on it

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He should suck your dick while you are taking a shit...

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think that's just a regular blumpkin.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

You are the leading blumpkin authority!

[–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

If I were you, I'd rather not 😂

[–] scaredoftrumpwinning@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the amount of time he golfs would be higher. Every time he golfs we pay the taco when he stays at his properties.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 4 points 5 hours ago

He intended to golf more but the mind and body are broken.

Look at that 275lb (320?) bag of piss wrapped up in a cheap looking 10k suit shitting his pants. Nubby little fingers. Weird nubby mushroom member (this is from a a legal deposition)

Clearly demented and so insecure he can’t even ask for help.

Dude is in over his head.

The stress is gonna kill him. He knows it that’s why he’s not working.

He is not looking healthy

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I hope you're right, but I think like Putin he lives on pure motivated hatred and spite.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Kissinger lived till 99. Hatred seems to impart longevity somehow.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago

I feel like the despicable you are and the more people hate you, the longer you live. That certainly explains Kissinger and other real life villains

Evil sustains. Not sure why and science has yet to yield answers. One of the Rothschilds would get continued organ transplants to sustain his life, often from organ donors who did not know they were organ donors, usually from third-world countries.
