Return-to-office orders look like a way for elite, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees ( www.businessinsider.com )

Grab power back? I wasn’t aware the proletariat had made any real true legal progress for their rights in the first place, in, well, many decades. Especially not compared to everything we’ve lost in that time:-(

Did you forget to log into your lemmygrad account, comrade?

You’re aware that the working class exist outside of the long gone Soviet Union… right?

(I assume you’re mocking me for supporting workers rights)

I’m not mocking you, tone is lost on pure text communication, I’m sorry. :)

When I use sarcasm or mockery you will notice a /s in my comment history.

I was joking in the sense that it’s unusual to see even people using the term “proletariat”. You acknowledge the proletariat never had the power to grab back in the first place, that there’s been no progress and even loss of rights (and, by extension, degradation of material life conditions).

This is a similar line of thought that took us in lemmygrad to question a few definitions and dig a bit deeper.

I greeted you as an equal, and joked about us having multiple accounts to read stuff on the defederated instances too, because we’re people too. Also notice how I was downboated to hell just for mentioning lemmygrad.

Sorry for disconnex wall of text! All the best!
