nobody who eats chinese food could be a bigot

on the contrary; if your white and you eat chinese food that’s cultural appropriation

that happens to literally everyone on the planet who has ever had a boss or worked for a corporation. everyone just goes to the bar and gets over it. rms is the only guy who won't loving shut up about it.

communists also won’t shut up about it

The time has come to substantially expand employee ownership in America. Study after study has shown that employee ownership increases employment, increases productivity, increases sales, and increases wages in the United States. This is in large part because employee-owned businesses boost employee morale, dedication, creativity and productivity, because workers share in profits and have more control over their own work lives.
Employees in worker-owned companies are not simply cogs in a machine owned by someone else. They play a central role in determining what the company does and how it is run.

I bought my airplane headsets from an employee-owned company. They are still located in the same factory in Massachusetts where they manufactured most of the US spacesuits going back to the Mercury program.

are you glad they didn’t go to the bar and shut up about it?

is it offensive?

im not really an expert but i find it pretty hard to get offended by other cultures “stealing” american culture or even making fun of americans directly. there’s probably a power component to it, like there is in racism, where the dominant side of the relationship has a lot more ability to inflict pain and suffering. and well, western european and specifically american culture is dominant in the world right now
