Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

As an aside, I've seen this happen elsewhere as well. Classic play for wage theft. When I was working as a bartender in London to make ends meet, I had a coworker from Mexico on an expired visa. Great guy and the most hardworking. Well won't you guess it, guy got picked up by immigration authority on payday.
Manager better be locking his door, replacing windows with walls, and getting armed security that goes with the everywhere.
If my manager pulled this shit, the manager would no longer have a home or vehicle by the following morning. Whether they get caught inside the house doesn't matter.
Anyone who destroys someone's life over ~~obvious insecurities~~ "an argument" deserves to have their own life destroyed.
Right, but Americans don’t actually do what you’re suggesting. They just sit there and take it because they’re terrified of losing their shitty jobs that they hate.
They wouldn't be manager in the first place…. Managers are cops for the bourgeoisie.
Eh,my current manager was under me prior to a change in teams. I didn't go for that position because I hate management. He's still a great guy who largely lets me work however I need to, and shields me from upper management. I like having good managers who can be a buffer between me (tech) and upper management who don't exactly understand what I do.
"Not all ~~men~~ managers"
But yeah, it's interesting when a friend gets promoted to management. We like when they keep their working class roots top of mind, and it's great when one does. Many of us try it once or twice. But the first time that layoff convo comes down from on high, you find the fuck out they care more about their own standing in the system than putting workers first. Cops and managers - I ain't trying to be either.
Definitely fair, and no argument against. Though, in both instances that I got laid off, it was on the 5th round of layoffs, and my bosses (who I got along with both times) got laid off before me in the 4th round. In addition, at one of the companies I was friends with the person who cut access and all, and they kept it secret from even her until the day after taking her phone and keeping them in a locked room. Both times someone either way up the chain or from HR delivered the news, so not sure the bosses would have even came into the convo, had they not already been canned anyway
Did they gain more money than you, or were the fruits of your labor divided equally to your yields?
If not the latter, you were exploited to work for the owners of the business. There's senior syndicalism, and there's bourgeoisie exploiters.
I’ll await until you finish reading David Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs: A Theory 2018. Debt: The First 5,000 Years is just as good.
I don't know for sure, but I'm paid pretty high here comparatively for the company (I get paid less than I should for the actual experience and position, but it's a smaller company that pays everyone less), and I know I got paid more than some of my previous managers here while I was under them. I was also paid like 20k more than someone who started 2 years before me.
It's more the previous owners negotiated directly with each hire and I knew what I was worth more than they did.
I'm glad you realized you were all exploited by the bourgeoisie. Now please do the homework I listed you, so you realize how much further everyone is being exploited through the theft that is money.
