No thanks. I don't simp for job positions.

This is a weird take to me. Why should we not idolize and revere workers who do critical labor on which our society depends? I understand objecting to the lack of idolization for other forms of labor. But to say that you dont afford respect and admiration to workers performing any labor is odd.

I respect workers by wanting them to get their fair share of the labor.

I don't need to start rating people based on their profession and denigrating most workers for not having these auraful jobs.

Okay, I agree with that. Your use of the word simp was a bit open to interpretation.

[–] grindemup@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you idolize anyone? To err is human; we all have flaws and just because you have a fancy profession does not mean you are a good person.

I moreso meant that I think glorifying the labor of working class people in general is a good thing. Not any one particular form of labor, just all forms of labor in general. Of course all people have flaws and are imperfect, I never suggested otherwise.

I'm not a Marxist-Leninist, far from it, but I do appreciate broad strokes the art they made glorifying the labor of the working class. Even though they constantly disrespected workers and acted against their rights, they nominally fostered a culture that glorified the labor done by workers every day. I think that on the whole is a good thing. I think it's good to show a reverence for workers of all types.

For pulluting the shit out of the skies, and bringing the end upon us, with their own two hands.

I do not understand why people do that for jobs that what, how many, 100'000? have.
