The UK is a parody country that has effectively managed to synthesise all the worst parts of feudalism and neoliberalism together

My Great Great Grandpapa, Viceroy Chauncington Money was the hardest of workers. He would stay up late into the night evaluating the workers of his cotton plantation at Fort Massacre. He inherited this ethic from his own ancestor, Lord Cockwater Money, the 1st Earl of Money. you see, it was his genius that allowed him to invent money.

As I explain in my forthcoming article, Clean My Jaguar With Your Tongue, You Lazy, Filthy Vagrants, we are all so very lucky to live in the world they helped create.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coutts

Founded in 1692, it is the eighth oldest bank in the world. Today, Coutts forms part of NatWest Group's wealth management division.

Like other people have said, the absolute lack of self awareness and ghoulism to write something like this is dumbfounding.

I wonder what they think work even is. Like I get the sense that they consider "work" literally just a mindset and has nothing at all to do with actually doing a job

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Many of them think that work means "making an effort at a task" and not "if you don't sell your labour you will die."

Sure, some of them labour for long hours when the mood takes them. But they'll never have to work if the mood doesn't take them.

Want to take the week off? Fine. Boss doesn't like it? Call Dad and have him explain to boss what will happen to his credit cards. Fired anyway? No problem, 6 months in the alps and then a similar gig at the next company.

If it hadn't been for the rest of the images that third one would have like half of twitter going on about how great his fit is. I know that because he looks like he's not allowed near high schools after the incident.

Rosie seems cool though imo. The rest get the owned treatment

[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Rosie getting the red-headed stepchild treatment there.

maybe they're just self aware enough to realize "socialite" isn't a great label, but judging from the rest of the article maybe she's an embarrassment that has a real job

Surely, surely, if you really wanted to write this sort of article, you could find someone who didn't come from inherited wealth. Like, you'd at least go looking, if you earnestly believed what you were writing

He married Lucy Rose Deedes, the daughter of Bill Deedes, whom he has since divorced.

Makes sense. If he hadn't divorced Bill after marrying Lucy, things could've gotten very awkward.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
