[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4063068, member: 76643"] Well, I was always in favor [edit: of] the abolition of the wage system as a form of social control and, yes, a kind of slavery. Even SJWs have sternly corrected me when I use that term, because it 'dishonors the historical suffering of black people'. And I have laughed. There's no justifying the fact that now one's time/life/energy must be rented to the market simply because, at other points, it could be privately owned by other individuals. If you think that all the junk decent pay may buy compensates for the dishonor of renting the better part of your life in order to survive, good on you. I don't. On good days, I find this is a very satisfying job and enjoy doing it to the best of my ability. Otherwise why do you think I'd get on here to talk shop? Other days, I am curtly reminded: it is [I]a job[/I], and I am [I]a peon[/I], an Amazon delivery boy serving goals which not only are [I]not my own[/I], but which discount my safety -- and of course have no interest in my well-being.
