PMC in this context is professional managerial class, a bullshit term PMC referring to private military contractor is a separate context thinking the second in this context is like "whoa whoa whoa dude, I asked for a car, why did you infect me with herpes?!" "you asked for an STI." "you're a suburu dealer you fuckin moron"

Lib and let die posted:Yeah, I've always put that right up there with "you used to be able to leave your doors unlocked around here," which conveniently stops just short of "and then those [insert local scapegoat nonwhite demographic here] started moving in!" i've never understood why being able to leave your doors unlocked was a good thing, absent of obvious racial dogwhistle. why would you want to not lock your doors, even if you trusted everyone in a mile radius?

I feel like you've been pretty beaten over the head with this but being the crab in the bucket who attacks the crab slightly higher than you without realizing that both of you get hosed by the guy holding the bucket is kind of the point, yeah? Like yeah that guy got a shiny new car but can still get completely boned by ownership of the company. Like literally your CEO wants you infighting with that guy so you never realize that the CEO is taking 1000x both of your combined pay. You being mad at him is the goal to keep you down and you're actively playing into it.

Sure, the guy with ten accounts the size of Metlife has a Manhattan penthouse, but the guy with a handful of small regional accounts is always going to be sweating their budget.

Zeroisanumber posted:The UK (and England specifically) seem to be under this continued delusion that Europe and the rest of the world need them way more than they do. The assumption was that they'd Brexit and then negotiate full market access agreements before it took effect. They figured they'd have both the markets and their precious racisms because who could live without the UK's market? Brexiteers are under the delusion that Queen Victoria still rules the mightiest empire the world has ever known, that the French are reeling from losses at Agincourt, Trafalgar and Waterloo, that the Germans are crippled from losing the first and second world wars, and that on the whole Europe needs the benevolence of the UK more than the UK needs Europe dragging it down.

Just pursue the things you want to pursue on your own time (also on company time when you can get away with it). I've been working on drawing and 3d modelling for a while, its fun. I also spend 1-2 weekends a month volunteering with Habitat For Humanity (or I did befire covid); I find construction labor fun and interesting, and its cool seeing people work who are really good at it and learning from them.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Please stop using the term PMC. It obscures the need for unity across the working class, replacing it with a liberal belief in an ever-growing multitude of classes. Income is not a class signifier. PMC, whether in ehrenreich's formulation or the various other takes on the phenomena, usually isn't defined based on income tho

BEB is definitely as worthless as PMC, you're either willing to cast aside the idiotic notion that electoralism is valid or you aren't
