pol/economic opinion 

I feel like in a free market economy, “does it hurt anyone?” translates into “does it fuck with money?” And like a lot of things in our *actual* lived experience, all the sensitivity etc which costs about nothing and makes for profitable markets and consumers, gets stomped down. I’m thinking about this with some rightwing apologist on birdsite setting “wanting to be paid for work” to all the other lefty stuff they denigrate. These folks actually just want feudalism.

@Leucrotta it's what we have, feudalism but you can more easily buy your way into it if you have the money

@chimerror the whole “work is a privilege and wanting money and heaven forbid benefits, job security or retirement is hippy nonsense like not wanting to be misgendered or wanting safe spaces” just was very mask off in more than one way. Really pissed me off.
