    I also don’t care about my job and see it as just a paycheck too so I do the bare minimum to make money. Like, unitonically, that’s the system we have that incentivizes us to do the least work to get paid. I’ll reserve my ire for cops and landlords

    I understand where you’re coming from, however I still think it’s probably uncool to bite off the work of others, especially when they themselves aren’t getting paid let alone being recognized for their work. Don’t get me wrong I’m 420.69% all for slacking on the job and doing the most you can to figure out how to do the least you can and still get paid, get your money. However, when I think it’s a slimeball move to swipe the work of other workers.

    Writers and “CONTENT CREATORS®©™” are workers, and it seems like the leftie-thing to do is not jack their shit. Stealing from your boss, the professional managerial-class, MEGACORPS, all that sort of stuff is sexy and cool. Stealing the work of other katz who are just trying to make it as well seems kinda wack to me.

    Especially when things like writing which is actually transformed by the person doing it. I don’t know the Marxist term or whatever, but it seems like actual work and labor going into forming ideas and getting those ideas out into the world.

    I hope I don’t come as a scold or a buzzkill. Not my intention at all.
