Working multiple bullshit jobs that pay peanuts to survive? You’re polyworking in order to have multiple revenue streams to sustain your lifestyle. Fulfilling your contractual work obligations? You’re quiet quitting.

In the year 2035, “wage cuck” will be an academic term because Marxism is too scary to popularize

It really is. If you even mention the word capitalism people will become upset because they will assume you’re being negative lol. Even capitalists hate the word capitalism.

Happens damn near daily lol. Can’t even use the exact reason why say housing is fucked without a few libs getting their undies in a wad and immediately start saying, “oh and so communism would be so much better blah blah.” When quite literally it would be lol

We’re going to have to start co-opting words from the right to sugar coat our ideas for young people, aren’t we?

That’s not right-wing appropriation. Its entirely a consequence of SEO algorithms in video media.

Although more financial freedom and the chance to have multiple creative outlets should spell increased happiness for polyworkers, the research shows that’s not necessarily the case.

:surprised-pika:

How out of touch do you have to be to think “creative outlets” is a real reason people work multiple jobs? If you think anything people do in an office job is a creative outlet you must live such a sad, uninspired life

Traditionally, people would find a vocation they enjoyed (and that paid a decent wage) and steadily climb the ranks,

No they wouldn’t. They’re fucking ranks. People don’t “GENERALLY” or “TRADITIONALLY” just climb ranks. That’s why they’re RANKS. Most people stay at the bottom or near the fucking bottom

Its a triangle because the natural progression of human civilization is to climb to the top of the triangle. Climbing triangles is just natural. Triangles are what make the country strong. Without triangles, we wouldn’t have all these amazing things.

You’re only trying to keep me from climbing the triangle because you’re too lazy and stupid to know the secret way to climb it. I won’t let you hold me back. I’m going to keep climbing the triangle until I’m on top, where I’m supposed to be, because triangles reward people who work hard and climb smartly.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
