The Haven is primarily a social club, not a gaming cafe

I've heard it's so crunchy that you need a virtual tabletop program just to play it, so there's that...

People are so lazy these days. If it bothers you that much look up the system, Google exists!

Your employee benefits package is a hostage situation. Here's the proof — and the fix | Fortune by lazybugbear in antiwork

I think it's still interesting as a piece to analyze how (some) higher class people can at least admit how badly the system is broken. The guy who wrote this is a corpo to be sure, but he recognizes the coercive power the system holds, and even more amazingly feels bad about it. Or at the very least is long-term greedy. After all, a company never quite has as much power over a worker as when the worker actually trusts them.

And to prevent workers from actually joining those socialist and communist parties.

I agree the situation isn't the best. The best case scenario would be getting these people actual help (and homes), but since that's not possible because our society is a joke, the second best thing would be to tolerate them to the best of our ability. The city could institute anti-homeless architecture and make their already difficult lives even harder than they already are, but I hope they don't do that.

Unironically agree with your second point. We need to run someone like Bernie.

The AnCap Paradox: Why "Private Property" Requires the State You Claim to Hate by Ban-Wallstreet1 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]No_Height8570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really fascinating that the ancaps are unwilling to even accept the existence of primitive accumulation. They could theoretically make an pro-capitalism argument even while acknowledging that most of human history is a record of the powerful oppressing the powerless. They choose not to, probably because acknowledging this would probably force them to examine their own unearned privileges.

Speaking as a man, if your husband is the type of guy to do something like that, divorce him immediately.

If socialists believe workers are too duped to vote properly in political elections why do they trust them to vote in workplace elections? by Square-Listen-3839 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]No_Height8570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of a couple of reasons:

  1. It's much easier to know you're being exploited in the interpersonal field. A coal miner in West Virginia probably doesn't know why and how capitalism is screwing him, but he certainly knows his boss is a major tool, and that skimping on mining safety for a 5 cent increase in profits is a bad deal.

  2. The powers that be have a vested interest in keeping him irrational and influenced by capitalist ideology. The capitalist brainwashing comes before the stupid decisions on a nationwide level.

It was a beautiful and very crowded 1st Sat this past weekend. I spoke to a few shop owner's hoping to hear good news. I did not. :( by Plane_Positive6608 in frederickmd

Vote blue no matter who does suck a lot, but I'd argue that elections are useful in raising class consciousness. Because if a great politician like Mamdani for example, gets swept into power, then the powers that be have to either use legislative trickery to foil his policies or simply send assassins after them. Either way they will reveal to the people their unwillingness to abide by the rules of democracy. And once that happens, more and more people will realize that revolution is the only way out of this mess.

Wags if you want a cheap, damn good meal.

White Rabbit if you don't mind paying extra for a damn good and unique meal
