badposting is a comm where you post badly

This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?

Rules:

Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
This rule intentionally left blank.
If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Supply and demand my fucking asscheeks

The more I learn about it, the more I feel a second class consciousness brewing in me lmao or maybe this is my class consciousness and I was just made cognizant of the fact that I was being exploited beforehand and confused the two? Beats me

But yeah it’s like the more I learn about it, the more my brain refuses to accept it because it’s comically senseless. It’s really strange because some of the logic at the start makes proper sense, but it is absolutely wild to me how things quickly go from reasonable expectations based on the past to nothing but what matters to the feelings of the most ravenous, parasitic leeches among us. Just really fucking wild how this is the status quo. And don’t even get me started on the convoluted tax system (which duh is super easy to evade if you can afford someone well-versed in tax law)

Guess I’ll just buy shares in index funds or whatever shit. What a fucking bizzaro world that this could very well be my only hope for retirement when I’m 72

even though this is badposting, this is some real shit

To add to the confusion and mystification, capitalist ideology promotes the idea that our commercial culture is fundamentally a rational and secular endeavour. But the opposite is the case. The rationality of capitalism is not human but alien, and we do not control it, but it controls us. Capitalist ideology refuses to see the “real God” that is capital, and our subordination to it. The god is real, but hidden, hiding in plain sight. And in this sense, capitalism is an occult, not a secular, mode of production.

The more I think about it, it’s a type of magical thinking only few can afford to have but millions are forced to have if they want any chance of financial stability in the future

It’s truly vibes all the way down 😎
