Lemme give you a TL;DW: almost all chocolate sold currently have dangerously high levels of lead and cadmium. Decreasing these levels will be very fucking expensive ("maybe we will have GMO tech in the future," constantly cutting out older plants instead of using them further, completely changing harvesting and manufacturing techniques).

>Karen's Diner is an Australian chain of theme restaurants. The restaurant advertises a deliberately unpleasant dining experience, and staff are instructed to insult customers throughout their meal. The restaurant's name comes from the internet slang term Karen, used to describe a self-righteous woman who is very rude.

>The chain has opened locations in the United Kingdom, the United States, and New Zealand.[14][15][16][17]


>In August 2022, the restaurant drew controversy after a video allegedly showing a staffmember at a Brisbane location behaving inappropriately went viral on TikTok. In the video, the server makes inappropriate remarks about an underage patron and accuses her father, who was dining with her, of being a pedophile.[18][19] A spokesperson for the chain said that they were "disappointed" by the behavior and that the incident went against their guidelines.[3]

<what are the political implications of the sissification of males

A lot of the transvestite identity stuff seems like a psyop. Instead of serving to build a common identity in service to struggle against capitalism, it encourages people to individualisticly and immanently struggle against their own sex (and the uncanny valley). People wrapped in creating an identity out of a parody of the opposite gender aren't focused on building a better world. Even more conveniently, men who adopt the behavior and character of young girls aren't going to be the type who can actually have the mental fortitude of carrying out revolution.

Everyone I've ever met in left(ish) organizing who has worn their gender politics on their sleeve has turned out to be some kind of wrecker. Without exception. It's gotten to the point where I almost feel like we need to figure out a way to screen narcissism and other forms of mental illness out of people attempting to join. Their self-centered bullshit has a serious trend toward nuking morale when the slightest thing doesn't go their way.

Is pic related the reason capitalism is still around

Women's mate selection is highly contingent upon status. There have been studies where the same set men are depicted in different clothes, each representig different levels of social/economic status. Women were then asked to rate how likely they would be to engage in variously activities with them, ranging from getting coffee to having sex. The clothes had a steep impact on women's perception of men, much more than it had when the test was ran the other way (with men evaluating women in different attire representing different status).

From this, we can, with a bit of conjecture, assume that most men would be pretty chill, cooperative, and egalitarian if it weren't for women. In fact, competitive sexual selection by women may be the primary encouraging factor for striving and complex hierarchy between men, the most basic factor for class division and oppression.

How do we account for this while building communism. What do we do fit the square peg of women's innate drives with regard to mate selection into the round whole of the abolition of class society?

We had to travel to different job sites. I would always get set up with a hotel or a trailer. It's oil related.

No, usually snack cakes. I don't drink, but have a sugar and caffeine addiction. I occasionally smoke.

My school quotes a full academic year of tuition and fees to be right about $12k. That's certainly higher than what I paid, but not obscene.
>In what desert? And how the hell far do you have to drive to get to work?
It's not a dessert, but I do work in one. I drive about five hours every two weeks. I'm going to get a different job soon, though. As I said, I just got lucky. I also don't have kids, wife, or gf, and my hobbies aren't expensive.

Also, I'd just like to add, because it seems this thread is devolving into this. I am NOT saying that "everyone can do it." That's absolutely not it. Not everyone is welcomed by their parents for a decade after they've grown up. Not everyone gets to live near a school that charges an acceptable level of tuition. Not everyone makes connections that let him get a job after school, and most certainly not everyone is able to find a home just at the right time to have his own place for as cheap as I did without having to do military service or any other sort of crap. I'm very lucky to own a place, because while I get paid well, it isn't enough to live without getting deep into debt, which I would rather not do. I live like a hermit in a small town, surrounded by old people. To most people my existence is hell and a bad choice to live. I'm just weird enough to fit in with this situation. My brother did go for the big house, wife, and mortgage payment. He seems happy. I would eventually like a wife or gf, but that's probably not going to happen. I don't talk to enough women, and my neighbors think I'm Chinese for some reason. That is their explanation for why a young guy is never making noise or having parties. Yes, my neighbors are kind of racist.

For real, my community college charged that much per quarter. I know, because the VA kept fucking up my funding which led to the college sending me bills.

What are the political implications of an increasingly large proportion of economic surplus being devoted to management, social control, security, surveillance, and other aspects of the economy not directly tied to production or even consumption - and in the realm of consumption the growth of a subscription based model of extracting individual consumer rents from the various strata of people.

What are the political implications of this not only growing out of monopoly capitalism but also existing on a somewhat systemic worldwide or perhaps civilizational or epochal scale.

One that comes to mind is in class structure. A large PMC of financial paper pushers and cogs in the spectacle complex of modern society are a constituent in perpetuating the rule of modern capital. These people are typically corporate yes men in an existential sense. Other sections aid in technical ins and outs of media-finance communication-education, and other aspects of the rentier state. This is effectively the modern equivalent of yesteryear's labor aristocracy.

<Xi Bros…. I don't feel so good

Over the past week or so, major protests have been escalating in China due to the Zero COVID policy. Apparently, Chinese visitors to the world cup were astonished that no one outside of China cares about the coof anymore, and shared their thoughts on WeChat, which has exacerbated existed discontent. Now, protestors in China are calling for the removal of Xi and the CCP. Maybe nothing immediate will come of it, but it does indicate that cracks in the social cohesion and unity in China are developing, and this may have longer term ramifications.

Since we are throwing out Marxism anyway just to appease liberal sentiments we could go way further.

>fetish work

A subspecies of sex worker specializing in shitting or peeing on their customers. Very endangered worker.

>mafia work

A mafia worker is a proletarian who is exploited by the mafia boss. He is forced by The System to extract out money and/or gold teeth from his victims for protection, but his evil capitalist mafia boss takes almost all of that and pays back the poor mafia worker only a small part.

>politi-worker

The proletariat working in the US congress, UK parliament, etc. They produce new laws without which we couldn't live under capitalism. Sadly the politi-worker is not free and is controlled by the evil bourgeoisie.

>NGO work

The section of the proletariat that produces awareness about social injustices. Sadly, they are exploited by George Soros (their boss) who doesn't compensate them properly for all the awareness they created with their hard labor.

>NEET-proletariat

Productive labor in the marxist sense means producing a commodity with a persistent use-value, that is not for big bourgeois luxury consumption, or for war. Prostitution in the Marxist sense is unproductive labor.
Socialism would abolish prostitution but the police would persecute the Johns, not the prostitutes.

A mafia worker is just a lumpen-prole, or informal economy worker or a precariate.
