With a looming iron-grip marketers and advertisers have over pretty much anything in their reach, why aren’t the masses collectively making harassment campaigns to them?

I think if we actively told every single marketer off in a prolonged effort, they’d get a hint as to how much of their commercialism we don’t need shoved down our throats.

    Harassing the underpaid workers is your solution?

    One thing ive noticed is that the younger generation, which I assume you are, have a lot of desire to change capitalism but absolutely shit poor ideas how to do it.

    Im not saying I have any great ideas either. But making the already suffering employees suffer more will not lead to changes. You know that.

      He is an immature child who gaslights and reports comments to get his dick hard. He doesn’t care about resolving anything because he lacks real and actual solutions.

          What makes it a threat?

          It’s not a threat when:

          I don’t know you in person. I don’t know where you live. I’m not making any overreaching attempts to locate you. No where did I state or say that I was coming to find you.

          Hm, you seem to have a loose definition of what constitutes a threat. Just like you do in reality and the world around you, child.

              But does it lead to an actual location? That’s what I’m talking about, dumbfuck.

              Just like anyone here can see you as being a stupid motherfucker with no brain. You’re not bringing in anything insightful or anything, you’re just being fucking trash. You belong on Reddit, because you act like any one of them assholes.

                  You can’t even brainstorm of an actual operation that would lead to a solution to the problem I’ve propped up when I began this thread. And you doubled and tripled down on it as the comments kept coming on when people actually challenged you on it. What does that say about you?

                  And you tell me I can’t argue you anything, retard.

                  You were the one advocating for some level of violence and extreme inconvenience on people you don’t know who’re working these jobs because they have to. You must talk all high and mighty from your little armchair because you probably never WORKED a single job like that, that would find ANYTHING you’ve said a huge problem.

      They’re already harassed and their conditions are already deteriorating. The only way that will ever improve is if there is no profit in mistreating them, since there is no party interested in improving things for workers in this country.

      One thing ive noticed is that the younger generation, which I assume you are

      One thing I’ve noticed is that boomers think that if you disagree with them, it means you must be younger than them and therefore wrong.

      have a lot of desire to change capitalism but absolutely shit poor ideas how to do it.

      As opposed to no desire to change capitalism and infinite excuses to prevent such change.

      Im not saying I have any great ideas either.

      Or any desire to formulate any.

      But making the already suffering employees suffer more will not lead to changes. You know that.

      They will have to suffer more regardless. Capitalism demands more work for the same wages over time. And inflation guarantees that wages’ ability to pay for a living decrease over time.

      I know I disagree with you so you immediately assume I’m a child incapable of giving anything any thought. I work in a customer-facing position. I have my own set of ways to gum up the works for my sector of the economy. Yes, some of the things I listed are aggravating to workers. The ones I have for my job are based on personal experience and I know I would hate them too. But every last one of them was selected to maximize time and resources wasted first and foremost, with the goal of causing actual diminution of the fortunes of the company. If it’s just a dick move to the employees, if it causes them suffering without also harming the company’s bottom line in some way, I didn’t include it. Except maybe the dumb questions thing. That’s probably a bridge too far.

        If you’re older than a boomer, your arguments tend to consist of. “Speak up! Why can’t you speak up? No, I don’t need a hearing aid. I need you to speak up!
