That link goes to “ben shapiro sings WAP” from 3 years ago. it’s a fan-made parody of cardi b - WAP, not the tom macdonald song.

Thankfully, the new UAW contract includes the right to strike over plant closures. If one UAW plant tries to shutdown, they all go on strike.

The UAW first announced it in October when they settled their new contract.

It’s being reported that Israel blew up their own tank with an air strike so that Israeli militants wouldn’t be captured. Hannibal directive.

It’s probably a decent beer. Small local beer companies tend to have bad branding. Ungrateful kid.

The intended purpose of public schooling is to prepare children for a job ie sell their labor to a capitalist. It’s not some sort of secret; every public school will tell you this. Public grade school is designed to simulate working at a job. Public school teachers simulate the management of a job.

School teachers are not bourgeois.

I’m not sure why you put that in quotes like you are citing some tome of great knowledge. It’s an unattributed quote from tumblr. It means nothing.

I think fakenews is funny and it is labeled a joke. It says fake in the name.

Hasan Piker did show this photo on stream but didn’t say much about it. He kept saying “I don’t have anything to say”. Hasan became real life friends with JPEGMafia. In 2021, JPEGMafia ate Christmas dinner with Hasan and his parents. That seems like a pretty close relationship.

Hasan basically said that he didn’t know that JPEGMafia was going to do this and he hopes that JPEGMafia is going to try to move Kanye away from his far right beliefs. This seems like wishful thinking.

Tagging this user because this user argued with me that Kanye’s new album cover was definitely not a Burzum reference.

Adding context to this image. On the left is Kanye “I love Hitler” West. Kanye said he would release a new album called Vultures on December 15, then it was delayed until New Year, then January 12, and now it is TBD. People speculated that the Vultures album cover was a reference to neonazi band Burzum and this new photo with Kanye wearing a burzum tshirt confirms that. Kanye is still saying antisemitic things and went on at least one antisemitic rant in the past month.

Kanye’s teeth look weird because this week he spent $750k to install a permanent grill in his mouth that makes him look like Jaws from 007.

On the right is JPEGMafia aka Peggy. JPEGMafia is a self-proclaimed communist, political, experimental hip hop artist. Some JPEGMafia songs that stand out to me are “I wipe my ass with confederate flags” and “I just killed a cop now I’m horny”. JPEGMafia is/was a fan of hasanabi and became real life friends; JPEGMafia ate Christmas dinner with Hasan’s family in 2021.

4 days ago, JPEGMafia posted a drunken rant on twitter about how he wants to work with Kanye because he only cares about money and Kanye is his hero who inspired him to start making music.

Today, we are given this photo of them working together. I am devastated.

I liked Pitchfork. It was a good website to discover new music. I’ve never been to Portland and I’m not a hipster. Thanks for bumping the post.

Pitchfork was a website that promoted music artists. It helped me discover some artists that I hadn’t heard. It was a decent website.

270 Pitchfork employees were laid off

Mayonnaise was the most popular condiment in the USSR and continues to be the most popular condiment in Russia.

No it’s not irrelevant because Marx says that people gain class consciousness through recognizing that they are exploited by the people who purchase their labor. The artisan doesn’t experience the same struggle as someone who sells their labor directly to a capitalist.

The problem is not “selling your labor”. Exploitation occurs by surplus labor value being extracted from your labor. The exploitation is that the capitalist pays the proletarian less than their labor value produces. When an artisan sells things that they have made, they receive their full labor value.

The artisan is not being directly exploited by the capitalist and therefore probably does not see capitalists as the “ruling class”.

If we say that class is a person’s relation to labor and the means of production, bourgeois own the means of production and purchase labor to extract profit, proletarians do not own the means of production and must sell there labor, then there are examples of people who have some characteristics of either class and don’t necessarily fit into either class.

Artisans are people who are an expert at a skill and sometimes own the means of production for their craft. They own the things that they create and do not sell their labor to the bourgeoisie. They sell the things that they make.

Small business owners may either own the means of production and not be able to purchase labor, or they may be able to purchase labor but not be able to afford the means of production. Some small business owners are not successful enough at extracting profits, that they also have to sell their own labor.

I think it’s important to recognize this class of people because it is presented in American culture as the “American Dream”. In American culture, people are taught to believe that the ideal lifestyle involves both selling your labor and extracting labor value from others. This is what I believe is the real “middle class”. It is “middle class” because it has a mix of characteristics between bourgeois and prole. It is maybe why so many people want to call themselves middle class. It is really nefarious because it blurs the lines drawn of class conflict
