      I’ve also seen them try to smear him as an elite because he went to a school that they spelled out cost 40,000 a year.

      All that tells me is that he was on track to shut up and claim a privileged position, but destroyed that to send a message of conscience.

      Man the owners hate him. I hope they continue to overplay their hand on that.

        He clearly sees the same thing rest of workers see.

          It means even more when you’re born into a position to just take the money and live like a pharoah on all of our backs as almost all born into such circumstances do…

          …but instead choose to fight on behalf of those your class subjugates and murders for profit.

          That is more than desperation. That is more than vengeance. That is conscience.

          He’s a software guy. The difference between his take home pay which covers the cost of living, some hobbies, and a car, and a guy worth $50,000,000 is about $49,800,000.

            I saw shit floating on reddit or twitter is that his family has money. they own shit. again could be misinformation but it tracks with UPen background.

            with that being said IT DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER.

            His work speaks for itself, and I am interested to hear what he has to say more than any media or regime talking head selling their ass for a few million.

          Didn’t Batman make it a point not to shoot anyone with a gun?

          I’m not sure “literally” is the right word.

      yeah I remeber in the 90’s thinking he was a nutter and I forgot about it in the early aughts but when someone brought it up in the teens I reread and was like. holy crap. Im a doomer type and I will often say its just were the math takes me. He was a mathemetician and kinda the original doomer.

        This is easily something that would appear in subs or communities. Antiwork, workreform, boringdystopia, collapse, latestagecapitalism… I’d be surprised if there weren’t existing multiple posts mirroring what he wrote, minus any Unabomber references.

    lost a star for writing “You can’t have your cake and eat it too,” in the wrong order

      Which way did he write it?

      In case anyone doesn’t know, “can’t eat your cake and have it too” is the correct order because once you eat it it’s gone and you can’t have it.

          Except it doesn’t, the most popular order is nonsensical and Ted was right about it.

          If someone asks you what you did yesterday, do you usually list events at random, or do you list them in chronological order? Sentences with multiple clauses are ordered by timeline by default.

          So, of course you can have a cake and eat it too, you just won’t have a cake anymore at end of the sentence. What’s impossible is to eat the cake and still have if after that.

            If you’re going to go to that level then I counter with you still have the cake after eating it.
