      One of the biggest propaganda wins the ruling class ever had was to portray having a job as something good that we should be thankful for.

      Having an income is good, having a job is merely the cost of having an income. Having a job against your will is literally slavery/forced labour.

          Says the person who most likely isn’t sharing a bed room with 20 other people, in the same building as the factory. Yes, the world is shit, but don’t kid yourself if you got time to whine on the internet you’re an actual slave.

      Your half truths have no power here.

      Having a job close to your family in a place you know and want to live AND work with salary, benefits and options to switch is not bad.

        agreed, but most people don’t have that lol, especially when they originally live away from urban centers. the fuck you are talking about. you guys are the ones coming out with half truths and exaggerations.
