    What if you have a regular working class job but also like Modelo and juicy burgers?

    The international worker’s day is a holiday in france, so everyone can go protest (or do whatever at home, but there are usually big protests on may 1st)

    Labour days are a joke, it’s pretty nice in countries where it’s a day off but otherwise it’s just a circus show for students and unions (who are completely subordinated by capital and act as a price indicator for labor power) to parade around for a few hours.

    I see no point in trying to pit us against each other. People with normal desk jobs aren’t inherently the problem.

    Anyone who works for a living is part of the working class and bullshit like this only strengthens capitals grip by pitting workers against workers.

      yup. It’s the epstein class we should be guillotining, not each other.

      The cunts who works at places like kalshi and such can 100% disappear with zero detriment to society. Those are the fucking fake-ass e-mail jobs, and to act like there’s no difference between some piece of shit pulling barely legal scams and someone in a public service position is fucking stupid.

        Remember when covid happened and everyone had to stop working? Well not everyone, just everyone with bullshit jobs.

        Everything was basically fine. The only real problems as far as i could tell were that we all thought we were going to die and were scared to go near our grandparents incase we killed them, and some lines stopped going up.

        I wish we could do it again, share the “real jobs” out amongst everyone so we only had to work a couple days a week, only this time we can also not be terrified of apocalypse-movie scale of death.

          The current cost of living crisis started because of the economic turmoil in COVID you refer to as “some lines stopped going up”. There have been other causes, but that was a huge chunk of it.

          But sure “everything was basically fine” because you personally didn’t die, I guess

        I’ve turned down few job offers in my time because those would have me work on online gambling systems and shit.

        I know people who still chose to work in there, whose motivation was something like “If I didn’t scam these people - someone else would have”. And what I think after all that - if person’s job is detrimental to society - this person doesn’t matter, even if they’re working hard, 9-to-5, all that shit.

    ‘Fake email job’ is great! I’d not heard that before.

    Where i work, all the bosses get the day off and those of us who actually work still have to work.

      Just using email while also doing something important doesn’t make a job a fake job. Fake jobs are the kind of jobs that society would be fine without. Marketing, sales development, hr. Jobs which exist solely to peddle around useless emails like competitive reviews, social listening reports, messaging matrixes, research debriefs, etc., or responding to such bs in an ever escalating cycle of useless burecracy.
