The error in your thinking is thinking this is a "functional society", it's not, it's a "functional farm". I can't even fathom how "they" can lay out any parameters they want of what's acceptable to the cattle and they will eat whatever chow is fed to them, sometimes even getting a dopamine high off making their handlers profit. It's not even a social contract anymore, it's straight up exploitation.

The fact that no one can address the actual topic is pretty suggestive OP has a point.


It is almost as if you guys are experiencing cognitive dissonance.
Are you trolling or looking for a fight? Sour grapes is always used the way it was used earlier, anyone knows that, and you are obviously trying to disingenuously "aKtuALLy" because you agree with OP.

Second, you said wage cuck before and then went "aKtually, no one said hard work"

Third, what exactly is your problem with people that work again? Remind me of your story, injured in the military and on benefits now?

If I am correct (cant remember for sure), doest that money come from worker's tax? Or corporate tax that's ultimately generated by $$$ from workers one way or another? So if I am correct are you criticising the very system that supports you and puts food in your mouth?

And none of us workers are experiencing anything close to cognitive dissonance, from anything you or OP have said. I have not seen a decent point from either of you about this. Not even close. None of us wish we were jobless and poor.

I would like to not work if I had (at least) what I make now sure, but I would rather spend time at work and have more money than "be free" and have to live like a poor person.

Probably the worst example you could had produced, their hard work is sure paying off isn't it?

They have us, and especially boomers on a drip feed of dopamine, a great brainwashing of the masses to have them believe hard work "feels good" or is rewarding or righteous, lol.



Wagies gonna wagie..
Hard work does feel good, that's different from being exploited though.

When I lounge around all day I feel like shit.

Most of the hardest work I do is for myself and my own goals, not an employer.

The part you missing is that the feeling is generated by institutional power. It is something that was programmed into you since birth.

So I skimmed this, it is horse shit and ad hominem.

Nothing about me or my experience changes the fact that anyone who wants or needs job can get one.

I did use the term wage cuck, that doesn’t conflict with the idea I support a person working hard. A person doesn’t have to have job to work hard and plenty of people with jobs do not work hard.

You don’t understand Aesops Fable.

I don’t have a problem with the people who work. I am participating in a debate. And for the purposes of this debate, my issue is that the people experiencing cognitive dissonance because they have to work, are trying to make the people who don’t have to work seem like they are the crazy ones. That is raw brainwashing. And I don’t have a problem with people that do that, I just think it would be in their best interest if they understood that.


Your last paragraph pretty much sums this up. You don’t want to work but you feel like you have to. So you defend the position.

Skimmed it? That tracks with the quality of the rebuttal.

Calling out inconsistency (critiquing the very system that funds you) isn't ad hominem. It's directly relevant if someone is biting the hand that feeds while claiming moral or intellectual high ground. Separate issue from the actual arguments.

The "wage cuck" line was a clear strawman of what I wrote. Talk about bad faith. Same with (again) pretending the sour grapes analogy requires a technical lecture no one uses it for in normal conversation. It's a common idiom for exactly this situation.

My last paragraph sums up nothing, you quote ad hominem but your whole argument style is laced with fallacies. I dont "feel like" I have to work, I literally articulated why I do. You dismissing that as emotion while psychoanalysing everyone else is another bad faith move.

To say your last paragraph is in bad faith would be an understatement, I think that's your whole "debate" style. Just to remind you the thread topic is "Having a job might be the dumbest thing ever" and I am still waiting for you to present any solid evidence that contradicts what any of us workers believe to be true and correct.

u ever miss ur old job tho? come on, i know u must sometimes

sometimes a rush or retardmaxxing is better than the alternative. some ppl just become wreckless when sitting idle. not defending a 40 hr week job tho. there is some truth to some ppl just being so mentally weak they kind of need the whip so to speak. i think there is a balance to this argument and it shouldnt be super one sided vs the other

The topic is exactly whats wrong with the young male demographic today ,and why testosterone levels are plummeting and most "men" are fkn doormats

The clowns posting in agreement are doing nothing short of revealing they are part of the problem we all see around us ,if I can see it ,so can you ,all the while acting proud that somehow,their female type delusional pov is conducive to the functioning society they are allowed to pathetically breathe in day to day ,for without them ,it wouldn't exist

But the thread can be revealing for the misc

Pay attention, these are the users you dont wana waste your time on

u listed a symptom as the main cause. no, mens test and attitude levels are dropping bc our food is shit, and propaganda and brainwashing, no exercise and being overweight. i think it's mostly the food though bc that lowers the test in the first place to allow such wide scale manipulation, also, comfort and living ur life virtually. both sides are correct tho. generally, men are pussies now, but that said, working also is way less worth it vs 50 years ago. u cant let emotions throw off ur better judgement. lets also keep in mind our workforce doubled over the last 50 years via feminism. that's going to bring lots of societal changes injecting a bunch of estrogen into the system of operation

I flew Blackhawk Helicopters for a living.

I didn't "have a job". I was living a dream. I miss it very much.

So u consider urself a better version of urself for that job. ik it was ur dream but objectively speaking, it was a job. u cant deny it left u better off after embracing that endeavour

It was a form of initiation. The cognitive and emotional abilities I developed in that environment are extremely beneficial. Not just the flying part, but the whole being a military officer part as well.

I would fly for free. I would work hard at it too. Many pilots do, just to build hours. Many people pay for the opportunity.

Also, having a job is stupid.

yeah well when ur crew of boys onboard lives are at risk according to ur flying it's a good motivator. for u to do ur job immactuately meant none of ur brothers died, or urself. i hope there is some common ground we can land on here bc u admit urself ur job prepared u better for the rest of ur life. that could be true with anyone who enjoys their job, or even if they dont, but were in a lower pathetic place before their job. i like cutting trees now, i can make a good bit of cash in short time, but often i do it for free. i recently spent 2 days clearing hazard trees near a local cemetary, and i got great joy out of it. felt like a solid community service. now that never benefitted no higher power or "boss" of mine, i just did it. and the pay was me feeling like i took care of my own people, the people in black, the poor. no millionaire benefitted from that

I have a theory, that's been said before me and agreed upon by many -

Once you catch lightning in a bottle, it's harder to do regular stuff.

The experiences don't just go away. It helps to have people you can relate to in this regard.
