Edit: wow, this got a lot of attention

Righties can’t separate the human from material value. OP in the screenshot was absolutely gearing up to judge people based on their job, which is a good red flag to avoid someone at all costs.
Unless they’re a cop. You can judge them all you want.
He doesn’t know that the left is more educated. Believed Fox that they’re all unemployed.
The only thing keeping the GOP in power right now is tribalism.
Billionaire fascists are keeping them in power. The tribalism of one of the tactics.
The good news is that they’re experiencing diminshishing returns from these tactics and, despite that, doubling down while spending even more money on them.
It’s more that he thinks the left can’t do ”real hard working jobs”. Jobs that require university education doesn’t count as ”real” to them.
“I don’t understand your job therefore your job is fake”
Don’t think he’d be asking what people do then.
Yeah. Its very strange irrational and potentially self defeating behavior. A fascist would never.
Education≠employability
Is this a tale of your personal woe or do you just shit on people with accomplishments?
Impossible to know. Why assume I have an education?
I didn’t. I presented one option where you were educated and bitter the traducation sucked, and another where you have no such accomplishments and are imagining why they are bad.
Since you reject the idea and also struggle with the notion of “or” I am going to guess it is the latter.
im an engineer with a graduate degree. my (work) dream is to work at an aerospace worker cooperative making stuff for space exploration with a bunch of fellow queer neurospicy people.
Can I join in on this dream? Aerospace really tickles my fancy, but it feels impossible to get a job in it that’s not destroying the environment and/or making bigger bombs.
So you want to work in Becky Chambers’ To Be Taught, If Fortunate.
I couldn’t have come up with a better pitch for the book.The trump administration has kinda ruined the Aerospace field for a while. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
Ontop of that, the push to commercialize space has kind of made doing it a lot less satisfying.
Freelance abortionist. I’ll dunk any kid below the 12th trimester.
Maybe its how online I am, but I feel unethical not taking any job below their 404th.
I’m a software engineer, but I moonlight as a fucking problem for bigots and child predators.
Well there’s your issue. Too old for the child predators to want to fuck. They’ll never engage in your chosen medium. Can’t say for the bigots.
Warehouse worker for a company that sells food over Amazon.
I inject HRT to every avocado spread we sell so toasts turn children trans and communist and immigrant.
IT at a hospital. I make sure to mess with all the data of women who have abortions so right-wingers can’t murder them and their doctors. I also hide all the sex change operations forced on kids under the age of 12
I thought the schools were doing the sex change operations after parents dropped them off? It’s hugely inefficient to split the workload between schools and hospitals. I’m a retired software engineer who optimized business practices.
Somewhere out there, there’s a printout of this, sincerely pinned to a cork board under a thoughtfully arannged web of red yarn.
Well, it’ll have to be thoughtfully arranged. They can’t just pop down to Joanns to pick up more so they can’t waste it. Sure you can get stuff online but you can’t feel if that batch will twist how you want it to. It’s just not the same
Joann’s conspiracy board section really was the best. Not sure where to get all my thumbtacks from now.
I work for for a health insurance company that tries to be a market disruptor that brings prices down. I vote to put myself out of a job at every opportunity, and realize that if my company goes under my only skills are for evil.
Yeah I’m drunk right now, why do you ask?
Aww, I wanna be drunk too!
I fix soda/pop equipment, I love what I do. I’m slowly going insane though, we’ve been trying to find a second tech for 2 years now but people just don’t work out, it’s a sticky dirty job but it’s fuckin fun and you get to goto cool places and see cool shit like strippers.
People struggle with the lack of structure, we have like 10 calls a week at most and half the time they are bunched up so you may have 3 shop days where your just fuckin around fixing shit. Jobs ment for someone who enjoys soda and learning how shit works.
That sounds fun! I’m fine with the lack of structure, but would struggle with the sticky aspect.
Reese?
Pieces?
I build and repair PCBAs for a company in Texas. I’m the one building the 5G to make the frogs gay.
I develop software for the largest underground iron mine in the world. It’s always fun to say “I’m a software engineer, I work with mining” because most people’s reaction is “oh god, not crypto right?”
It’s not crypto, but we’re still destroying the environment!
In my free time I homosexually walk my dog, I enjoy gay cooking, I homo read books, I same-sex play games with friends, and queer do a whole bunch of other things.
<Joke 'splanation>
I’m joking on the idea of homosexual marriage, because it’s fun to extrapolate it into us gay-verb everything.
I thought it was the job of frogs to make people gay. Stop stealing jobs from frogs.
I’m an engineer in a factory. They hired me to double check that the factory workers use my pronouns
I invent the stuff we make stuff out of.
6 days of work a millenium and every sunday off. Must be nice.
Programmable matter?
