Reddit “they targeted gamers” copypasta but edited for capitalism
They targeted billionaires.
Billionaires.
We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than the appreciation of libertarians on the internet.
We’ll punish our workers doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s profitable.
We’ll spend most if not all of our free time monitoring our employees anti-union speech all to get in a controversy surrounding business ethics.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: inheriting money, economic imperialism, and wage theft, all day, the same thing over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know every little detail such that some have attained such billionaire nirvana that they can literally get convicted of manslaughter blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many employees have been wrongfully terminated, labor laws have been violated, and people have died in preventable factory collapses? All to later be referred to as hard work?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already funding a new one without them. They take our money? Billionaires aren’t shy about throwing their money towards child slave labor, or even creating a monopolistic cartel ourselves. They think calling us greedy, unethical exploiters is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by people who reply to our tweets. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the death of human life when profitable. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we “don’t respect basic human rights”. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big government and laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Billionaires are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.
men will literally run off a cliff and hang in mid air for two seconds before realizing it, looking down, and then dropping from a deathly tall height
men will get into a fight with someone and turn into a dust cloud with stars in it
men will follow a carefree baby into a dangerous construction zone or factory and get hurt in any number of comical ways while the baby remains unscathed
men will drive several nails into a piece of wood with a hammer then when their attention is taken away from the task at hand hit their thumb with the hammer causing it to swell to the size of a dodgeball and turn red
men will literally unhinge their mouths for the sole purpose of eating a decker sandwich that is 4x taller than their head in a single bite
men will wear garments such as ties or scarves around their neck so as to make them easier to animate
men will be crushed by a heavy object and fold up like an accordion, accompanied by actual accordion music after this happens
men, when asked how many lumps they want, will pathetically think that the person asking meant lumps of sugar. the man will ask for two lumps, only to be hit with a large mallet two times in a row
men will consume spinach and immediately double in size
I looooove that interview where tommy hiddles was asked to "explain" the i heart ts shirt and he got super super mad about it and went on this whole tirade about how the media are a bunch of assholes who twist everything and that his relationship to ts was "real"
it was real and genuine and profound and she did NOT kill any horses while he watched in rapturous excitement and they had LOTS of normal regular sex that didnt involve horse killing. how DARE you
what the fuck anon you said super mad not like, emotionally annihilated by the mortifying ordeal of being known (as the i heart ts tank top guy)
i won’t act like there isn’t a lot to criticize about star trek enterprise but the concept of having a resident dog on the ship? now THAT was god tier.
“You take these struggles, you take these real live
issues and these real live places and you just say ‘Yeah, that’s a
thing! We’re grown-up’ and we’ll make some kind of general ‘Oh, both
sides are bad. Conflict is bad, we should really just check it out’ kind
of thing where everything is equivocated and it’s celebrated in games
and it drives me nuts!”
they should have let Scar be part of the big villain team up in the kingdom hearts series though, like they’re all at their evil meeting and Jafar or maybe Oogie Boogie wants to know why a regular lion is there and Maleficent’s like “oh, he’s a fascist”
