My first paycheck was for $9/hr, i made $36 that week

for reference a police officer where i live starts on $36 an hour (which is equivalent to the level 3 pay in other govt departments)

the police are 80% " unionised "

also gonna guess it doesn’t require a college degree to become a pig either since that’s the norm for most places

yeah, suddenly having some bullshit work from home job just fills me with rage about whats happening to everyone else from my background and how senseless it is. i get paid more for doing way less work than my aunt does being a cleaner. i talk like i know how to code and had my regional accent beaten out of me, so i get treated better than my cousins on welfare. i watched my mother get sexually harassed working a cash register for 18 years, and somehow i get to dick around on hexbear for better living conditions?

seeing the middle class world is fucking appalling, because it makes it glaringly obvious how unfair and bullshit this system is

I found it was easy and natural to be a libertarian when I was a sheltered college kid who had a comfortable middle class upbringing and never worked except for some small summer jobs at the mall.

It was having an actual job and being responsible for rent, groceries, etc (and see the real world struggles others had, plus some other stuff) that radicalized me.

I just assumed this was the original, writing doesn’t look that different from the title.
