I dont even know how to respond to this nuclearly bad fucking take. You cant blame workers for the fuckups of the ruling class. Tech workers aren’t enabling landlords, landlords are exploiting tech workers. Capitalism’s purpose is to maximize profit, so if there is more profit to be taken, they will take it. Tech workers aren’t the ones who benefit from gentrification.

Also, if anything tech isn’t praxis then you should probably not bother posting. Focus on doing your “real praxis” and cut the elitism vibe.

Didnt say it would be hard. Like said, I acknowledge that its a shitload of money. My point was that most people in tech will be lucky to make literally half of what you assumed tech workers make, and regardless of how you feel tech workers are still exploited employees. How you perceive their work doesn’t change the reality of what they do. Its not about whether they “do stuff” or not, its about the fact a lot of them are working 12 hour days, sometimes seven days a week, and not getting paid for all of the extra time and hardship they put in.

Trying to be elitist about who is “more proletariat” is not productive, and sewing these divisions so you can feel more like a “real” proletariat worker is only going to further prevent leftist unity. If you’re going to try and have a productive discourse, leave that shit at the door.

Most people in tech aren’t “tech bros”. I’m trying to get a job in tech as a Software Engineer, and Ill be lucky to make 70k at this point. The absolute best I’ve seen someone get out of university is 100k, and thats exceedingly rare (as in I’ve only seen one person actually manage to do it). I’m not trying to say that isn’t a shitload of money- it definitely is- but thats the outlier. Most low and entry-level tech jobs pay around $60-65k right now, despite what you might hear. Its not a straight pipeline to being a petty bourgeoisie living the high life, especially for regular developers.

As you mention, tech people definitely dont get to say they fixed someone’s car or say they made someone’s life better. You know what they can say? They had to work all weekend because of a critical error in the site and corporate demanded that they dont go home until its fixed. Or maybe there was a system failure and they were on call, so they had to work all night and their project manager still expect them to work at normal capacity all damn day with no extra breaks. The common thread through all of it? They dont get paid a fucking dime extra. Tech work is something most people get conned into with the promise that its going to be glamorous and well compensated, when in actuality tech workers are some of the most exploited of all.

Disregarding the validity of someones opinions and experiences based off of extremely exaggerated industry stereotypes leads to a lack of unity and shows a strong absence of understanding. Try to actually talk with people in the real world before making an uninformed, inflammatory, and elitist take like that.

Just pooping with the comrades

Sometimes you just have to go with the quickest option

9/10. Impressive stature and menacing presence. Would not approach without caution, both out of fear and reverence.

6/10 does not seem to exhibit any remarkable qualities, however it is above what I would deem “the average chicken”

Where did you find this picture of me please delete this immediately

Chainsaw man is LIT im excited for part 2 Ive also been reading Undead×Unluck and that has been quite the ride.

The rest of my reading list is me rereading jojo then berserk then repeating that cycle until the end of time.

Had a dog for about 9 years before kidney failure got him about 6 months ago. It gets easier every day. Just keep moving forward and remember that you made your dog’s life better and that he loved you. Itll always be sad to think about, but soon enough itll turn from sadness to melancholy, and from melancholy to a somber nostalgia. It wont be easy, but it does get easier.

Stay strong. Solidarity, comrade :heart-sickle:
