Work Reform
9857 readers

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

To the unobservant, yes.
Not their fault that end stage capitalism and the resurgence of fascism have made the most braindead takes mainstream enough that it's more difficult to spot the difference between sincere idiocy and satire 🤷
Satire isn't just 'say a ridiculous thing and hope people don't take it seriously'. There's supposed to be an element of commentary. This guy is basically just a pro billionaire bot spitting out what they actually believe.
Yeah, you clearly haven't a clue what you're talking about. If you'd had just a cursory glance at their comment history you'd have found such gems as "ABUB: Always Be Union Busting" and this one:
Are we supposed to check comment history every time we see some moron that's bad at satire make a comment that's identical to actual bootlicker rhetoric?
No but maybe check the username, that's not a big ask
Hey guys this is satirical! Don't find it funny? Maybe check my entire account history and determine that it's satirical in nature?! WHY ISN'T ANYONE LAUGHING AT THE HILARIOUS SATIRE THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH FROM THE REAL THING?!!1!
Don't blame the world for your personal failings.
Nah, only the times when you make definitive statements about comment patterns and the overall quality and nature of the entire account.
You know, the rare occasions where it's actually what determines whether you have a point or are full of shit and doubling down to avoid having to just admit that the subtle difference between satire and stupidity eluded you 🤷
If you have to point out that you're doing satire, you're pretty dogshit at satire.
Or some of the audience didn't get the joke and doubled down on being right to, as was the case here.
A lot of people thought that A Modest Proposal was sincere and as I mentioned to another of the wooshed complainers, people who didn't get it share The Onion articles as if they were real news all the time.
If satire is TOO obvious, it loses its edge. If it's easy to be understood immediately by those actively wanting it to be sincere, it's not good satire, so I guess you only like bad satire like Babylon Bee or whatever equivalent fits your politics better 🙄
Dude, I'm a big fan of satire. You're still here, days later, trying to convince me of how funny this "satire" is and how I don't get it. Satire and dry humor are a second language to me. This is just a very shitty attempt at satire. Go take a nap or something.
Because you're still here, days later, insisting that you not getting it automatically means that it was bad or not even satire.
Must be damn near illiterate then
It's ok to admit you didn't get it at first. You don't have to deflect your feelings of inadequacy.
I have. And I'll stop replying to your bullshit when you stop giving me bullshit to refute 🤷
Sorry, all I heard was you have a shit sense of humor and don't understand satire.
Must be an echo of yourself you're hearing then.
What, is this your alt or something? You're really licking this guys butthole over some mediocre 'satire'.
Yeah, it can't be that you're wrong and I'm correcting your nonsense. Has to be rimming. 🙄
Wrong about what? You think this guy is some comedic genius and I disagree. He sounds like what actual bots and shills say. I have a feeling you're more invested than just a 'fan' of this random internet account, but if you are just riding some random persons dick then that's kinda sad lol.
Never said comedic genius. I said satirical account and implied that I personally find it funny. Your strawman and mischaracterizarion of your own stance doesn't change the fact that you keep insisting it's a sincere account in spite of the evidence.
That's always been the problem with satire: extremely confident idiots insisting that it's sincere. If I had a dollar for every time someone shared an article from The Onion thinking it was straight news, I'd buy the Eiffel tower.
Yeah, it's me trying to talk some sense into your thick skull that's sad, not you acting like admitting you were wrong is a fate worse than death 🤦
I'm stubborn and am used to arguing with a brother who's pigheaded like you. What's your excuse?
I never said it's sincere learn to read. I said it sounds like a bot either way. Maybe you're getting usernames mixed up? I just think it's dumb.
Yeah, the person you're responding to is definitely an alt of "bad at satire" guy lol. They're salty as hell and dickriding this guy because they are this guy haha.
Maybe learn to read a room?
So making fun of bootlickersin a room full of people who don't like bootlickers is a bad thing now?
Or are you just expecting people to be too stupid to spot the differences between playing a loathsome persona for laughs and being a loathsome person?
