petitioning for a fucking emoji epitomizes the criticism that social media is a vehicle for diverting action into impotent dialogue.
retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
I think you took the joke a bit too seriously
Edit: oh wait wtf I didn’t notice the post body. I agree with you then lol
I just wanna conspire with comrades using pretty little pictures.
You mean like when the emoji for gun went from something realistic to a squirt gun?
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
Sad guillotine noises
Let’s make the guillotine happy again?
Emoji are a new form of language and language dictates thought
Yes, but there’s something to be said about the ouroboros of thought that social media produces.
It’s funny how reverting to pictograms is being construed as “new”.
New and improved!
retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems
My problem is that I only understand one of those things. The other is meaningless hot air, spewed exclusively by intellectual elites who may or may not have any idea of what that is even supposed to mean.
work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
And that explanation doesn’t tell me anything either. Put up a guillotine. Put the man in. Let the blade fall. I understand that. Create a network of mutual aid to replace hierarchies? Never saw that happen. Never learned about that, or how that is supposed to work. Don’t know what that is supposed to mean, or how that is supposed to play out.
If you assume anyone knows about any of that, and if you assume that anyone can imagine anything concrete about that, you are out of touch. You are communicating ineffectively. At least to me. And probably to most other people as well.
The effect of examples is not to underestimate. That’s how they keep workers in check, and that’s how guillotining a king got 2 centuries of democracy.
incredibly simplistic perspective, and intellectually dishonest; we traded monarchy for a dictatorship of the capital owning class.
Yes, and it was a big paradigm shift, from blood linage to money linage.
what is generational wealth?
Bitching about someone else’s efforts is just bitching.
You offer to no alternative effort.
If this wasn’t social media, you’d not be saying this for fear of a swift ass whooping.
thank goodness internet tough guys exist to defend limp-dick slacktivism.

Did you just call my
sincere effort to get an international movement for the recognition of the guillotine emoji goingshitpost “limp-dick slacktivism”?I’ll have you know I am so anti work I am currently not even employed.
…and support me on patreon!
Here’s my alternative effort: I joined the SSBN force to get a front row seat to the end of the world. Gimme a valid and authentic EAM and I’ll flip that switch like there’s no tomorrow, 'cause there won’t be.
Did…did he just invent the vacation?
Next up “I’m a CEO who gets hungry in the middle of the day, so I had a sandwich and some chips and found my creative spark.”
more like I had some avocado toast in a nice cafe with my latte. Ah yes, the creative spark.
I had some avocado toast 5 years ago and now I can’t buy a house :(
Same. I bought a $9 coffee and now I’ll never be able to retire.
I had some avocado toast in the house that I own…
These are CEOs, it’s more like, “had my personal chef whip me up an avocado toast reduction over toast made from avocado while flying to the coast for the third time this week and found my creative spark.”
dammit “Flying to the coast for a third time” got me
30 day vacations for all.
Should be 4 day work week and 6 weeks vacation. There is absolutely no need to work this much. So many bullshit jobs, just to keep people employed and busy all their lives.
Not just employed but underemployed. Forty hours a week for not-40 hours worth of money. We call it a grind because it’s designed to wear us down to bare subsistence.
Sure, that gets you the time off, but this guy flew to Paris and hung out for that entire time and found his “creative spark”. We also need like 50% higher wages so we’re not sitting in a Parisian cafe thinking “oh fuck this vacation is going to bankrupt me” or stuck at home unable to afford the flight to begin with.
Laughs in german labor laws.
We only have 6 weeks in Denmark!
Technically four weeks aren’t 30 days.
With 20 workdays off you can go in vacation for a month. At most companies you have more than 20 days even.
Most companies in the US will not be okay with you walking off for a month in a row though.
Yeah of course, taking all your vacation days at once would be difficult anywhere in the world
You’re right, I forgot that after the 28days there’s another weekend. But as someone who did a lot of union work in Germany I can assure you that a lot of companies do not give more than the mandatory 20d for a 5d-week.
Seriously… I literally just opened up lemmy after checking my vacation balance to see this lol Took 5 years to get 10 days vacation at my current job and I’ve used them all already… boooo
I will never understand how American culture has considered that acceptable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_by_country
Mostly because American culture is “I got mine, fuck you.”
A culture brainwashed to glorify “rugged individualism” is a culture of self centered inconsiderate assholes.
There was very successful vilification of unions from my understanding as well. I find the discussion about unions with Americans really interesting as from my Finnish perspective they are the cornerstone of workers’ rights.
Well something like 10 percent of us are still unionized. I’m technically in management, but I’m still a union member and I 100 percent support my union brothers and sisters over ownership. That said, having a unionized workforce is actually good for my company’s owners because it allows them to bid on highly lucrative projects that aren’t really viable for non-signatory contractors for technical reasons having to do with safety and insurance.
Don’t forget “I’m going to get mine and fuck you”
They hold the ladder for the former thinking they’ll bring them up too. When the ladder gets pulled up without them they look for a new ladder to hold.
4 weeks/year is standard isn’t it?
My work you get one week the first year. Two weeks for each of the following 6 years, three weeks the 7 years after that, then finally 4 weeks once you have been with the company for 15 years.
If you don’t work for any 30 day period, you are let go and if you work for the company again I’m the future, you restart the benefits back at 1 week vacation.
It’s actually one of the best around. I just hit 15 years and get 4 weeks now. Yay America.
Oh I should mention they now “expect more” out of a 15 year employee so now my evaluations are almost always “barely acceptable”, despite going above and beyond always. They want us to feel like we are lucky to have the job and they could fire us at any time. It gets worse the more benefits they are paying.
My current job gives everyone 16 days a year. I love my job, the dynamic, the people, the product. But I won’t last 2 years max with only 16 days off a year.
I get a week or I can take the check and keep working.
Guess what I end up doing?
I delay the end of year misery for an extra week. That’s what I do.
The trick is to be paid enough that you don’t need to cash in your annual leave.
Minimum wage workers hate this one trick!
Lmao not even close. Canada is just 10 days. Afaik USA it can be litterally 0
Here it’s 25 days minimum by law, and you are entitled to use 20 of them consecutively if you want to. If you have a good job it’s often closer to 30 days.
Ah, fellow European
Kiwi.
Source??
Or is this just rage bait
Found a source from Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.nl/im-a-ceo-who-was-burned-out-so-i-took-30-days-off-from-work-to-recharge-in-paris-and-found-my-creative-spark/
Still could be a rage bait article though.
Business insider is based in the Netherlands???
I’m assuming that is just their Dutch site. Kind of like bbc.com
Ah great point!
This guy could be anybody in the EU
UK here (so not EU but this isn’t something that’s changed since we were) that’s not really true, most companies would raise an eyebrow if you want to take that much of your holiday in one go. Plus it would leave you working like an American for the rest of the year.
Really? So you’re offering to pay for my trip there, did I get that right?
wat
Anybody in the EU is rich when a lot of people can’t really afford to eat out once a month since they get paid barely above the absolute minimum to maintain a living while in Germany for example 2 families own more than half the population combined. Only because Paris is near and we get paid vacation doesn’t mean we actually have more money to enjoy life per se. And Paris is expensive.
Fuck emoji, we need guillotines.
People on LinkedIn be like…
Oh god I have so many screenshots of peoples LinkedIn posts that are so detached from reality. Unfortunately most of them are in German.
You can post them on the community LinkedInLunatics@sh.itjust.works
Post them on !ich_iel@feddit.de
I was burned out so did mushrooms and looked at the sky naked in a parking lot. I found my God.
The CEO’s who are making millions of dollars? I don’t think really do anything, so if they just didn’t show up to work for a month would it even be that noticeable?
You’d see a noticable uptick in productivity without their meddling.
Rage bait, moving on.
No guillotine; but we do have a sword.
🗡️
And we have a bow 🏹
The fact that a 30 day vacation is seen as privileged is a failure of the US.
Must be nice
Obligatory reminder that the guillotine was primarily used against commoners who were the political opponents of the party then in power.
You mean the revolution didn’t turn out the way people expected? What a surprise.
We have to manually eat the rich to keep it from becoming an industrialized process that people can tune out.
and right after that against those who brought it on the scene in the first place. but ins’t it harsch to ruin teenage anarchist wanabees’ wet dreams with facts? 😆

I don’t follow you. I’m already specifically referring to the French Revolution…
I wish unspeakable violence upon this piece of shit
Forget about them, white torture will do the whole trick
