yeah the guy on the tractor in the beginning getting yelled at by his neighbors and responding "what do you want me to do, not get paid like the rest of you? would we all be better off then?" is like the most succinct story of capitalism

Ferrinus posted:yes i enjoyed it on my first readthrough but then you've got him casually calling some of the characters whores or whatever. i think the basic observation of what it means to be a prole vs. a manager, subjectively for the person themselves, is pretty good, but the more he talks about bosses as these transcendent weavers of wonders crucified on their own brilliance the more he wears out his welcome tbh I think the most useful thing I took away from that article was the concept of being an economic "loser" and the ways people reconcile that arrangement

indigi posted:I'd like 1.1v worth of salary if I’m being perfectly honest the conclusion the author draws is that upon realizing one is a "loser" ie producing more value for the company than they take home, they do one of three things: 1. Denial, basically take on the meritocratic explanation that this is because they are not working hard enough and if they just work harder they will eventually become a Winner. These are our Clueless middle level. 2. Accept that you are a loser and start minimizing your losses by doing the bare minimum per hours worked possible, our bottom level of Losers. 3. Realize that because you are already losing, you have nothing to lose by viciously climbing the corporate ladder past all the people who think they just need to work harder to get ahead. Top level Sociopaths.

the difference is that the Clueless people are working until 9 pm while the sociopaths are the one's emailing them from home at 9 pm asking if that thing is done yet

Right, that's where his metaphor breaks down. Now if Ryan the intern were the nepo failson of Dunder Mifflin's owner, he might be onto something

Cpt_Obvious posted:
It's the opposite, the fascist "strong men create good times, good times create weak men" etc. rhetoric is recognizing the kernel of truth in history as a cycle but removes the material analysis and attributes the forward movement of that cycle to the existence of "strong" and "weak" men. It's the STRONG MEN that created GOOD TIMES, rather than the material conditions allowing those men to flourish.

by the way, it would be a pair of pants that absorb water. that's the antithesis of a coat.
