It just seems like there are so many people in the US that are like "we can't have more mandated vacation days! Chad doesn't work as hard as I do and if he has something nice, I'll die! Also my boss said the company is really depending on me- if I put in the extra hours he can buy another sports car this quarter!"

There's shockingly low class solidarity among labor.

I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.

It's really gross how many people think everything in life is a zero sum game. The anti gay marriage folks are like that: if gay people can get married then somehow their own marriage is lesser. If people who aren't working get healthcare, then it somehow takes away from them. It's disgusting.

Absolutely, you have to be very guarded about what you say around colleagues cause some of them will snitch behind your back to higher ups, that's how I lost my job. I'll never make the mistake of speaking my mind with anyone ever again. They will get a fake work persona I'll construct from now on. Can't believe how eager some people are to fuck themselves over just so long as they are doing better than those others they have been conditioned to hate

The percentage of people that would be just as happy with their neighbour having less as they would be with themselves having more is shocking and depressing. It's all about comparisons. Crabs in a bucket.
