Attention, single moms working at McDonald’s: In case you were unaware, there is currently a class war going on, and according to this guy I was talking to on Lemmy, we’re losing, and it’s your fault because you chose feeding your kid over being a smart ass in the job interview.
Edit: for those of you making yourselves mad over my little splash of reality here, kindly do the following once your breathing normalizes:
Re-familiarize yourself with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Examine your own life and circumstances and ask yourself if you’re truly the revolutionary you’re pretending to be right now.
This post was never about class war. It’s bad interview advice and that’s it. Settle down.
You’re itching for a fight, when nobody started a fight with you. I am not saying whether this is good or bad advice. I am saying that the fact that this looks like bad advice is because we are losing the class war. I am saying that I remember a time when the balance of power was different, when we temporarily had the upper hand in the class struggle due to the COVID weirdness. During that time, people were actually doing things like quiet quitting, and strong-arming employers, and that in that environment advice like the one in the meme did not come off as bad advice.
I’m describing a dynamic, not blaming workers. If I had anything to say to the «single moms wokring at McDonalds» (you did an instrumentalization there, like the «kids in Africa») that would be «hey, how can I help you folks unionize?».
If you wanted them to explain their point more, why was the only thing in that comment a aggressively rhetorical appeal to no one based on your presumptions? Instead of articulating yourself that their point was unclear, you launched directly into an attack. Does the dissonance of that not…register with you?
You didn’t even apologize for the unwarranted and unflattering mischaracterization of their message. You just acted like they were the one holding out from a civil conversation: “That’s all I needed to hear.”
Did you deliver a similarly sanctimonious lecture to the people who told me to shut the fuck up and called me names? No? Then you can fuck all the way off.
Feel free to copy my response in a reply to them. And that doesn’t change the contents of your own response, isolated in the exchange between you and the thread OP.
However, I’m not reading every comment, so I’ll take my own advice and apologize if I caught you in your least charitable moment.
It is about class warfare. Of course it is. You being bad capitalism by having kids and buying a house without a stable job sure sounds like a you problem. Maybe you should settle down and put some more job applications in?
If your argument is that this is good advice, mine is that it’s only good advice for someone who has the luxury of putting it into practice.
Let me make sure my family has a home and won’t starve, and then I’ll happily join you on your quest to improve corporate culture.
No, my argument is that there is a class war and we’re losing it.

Why do you think so?
