3Companies prefer to hire from the outside because it's only a single role to replace so it's impossible to work your way up anywhere.
4
5You're not getting paid to do a job, you're getting paid to fill the job role within the company. You're expected to do extra work for free and very often you're covering multiple responsibilities. If you're willing to do that for the shit pay you've taken then that's about as useful as you can be to the company.

9That's already happening. Higher specialisation is the only thing that stands a chance at keeping jobs in the economy. If we started today we'd only be about 30 years too late.
10
11Instead companies have use high-skilled workers from EU countries rather than training them here.

15The working left can be all those things it doesn't matter. What matters is their prejudices against poverty.

27We're just different people. Just split the country in two. We'll have the North, they can have the South. (That's when we ally up with Scotland and send waves of smack heads floating in to drive them all across the channel and in to France)

33The historical and cultural precedent for the systemic abuse of people of dark skin through hurtful characterization is relevant to the issue. Where as a racial characterization of a Jew wouldn't have nearly the same subtext of racial abuse. Antisematism in Britain is a much more complex issue, and a much more developed one in the context of our history.
34
35It's just pointing fingers at thin air. I wish the subject could be approached more rationally but it's a witch hunt for a straw man. Once the papers have had their fill they'll find something else to throw at us.

39Wealth is condensed into high skill and the only justification people have is "It's fair".

41Like the economy is beyond our control. Nope, it's not fair, it's just what they impose on our society to float their own one.

45The decisions have raised serious questions about the integrity of Labour's complaints process after a party insider told The Telegraph the disputes panel, which rules on cases of anti-Semitism and other wrongdoing, is being railroaded by political factions. The insider said some members of the panel, which are drawn from the party's National Executive Committee, will "defend any form of abuse if the person involved is perceived to be on their side of the party".

51It adds to the factor of normalisation. What is the joke? He hates jews as much as Hitler? Is it juxtaposition? Corbyn is so much not a Nazi showing him as a Nazi is funny? Is it about the papers? Comedy is subjective, trying to discern meaning by reading into the subtext of the joke is an impossible waste of time, but this is quite mindless. He probably did just think it was funny in earnest, I can accept that for most people.
52
53Social media is media. The platforms them selves are created to give people an audience. Something needs to be done because it's becoming a mess. It's not like the papers are ever held accountable either. But there's a definite detachment that comes with it despite it being quite a significant influence on society.

57Schooling is just bad, underfunded and lacks purpose. Education is treated like a means to it's self and we know that's not true, nor should it be honestly. Education really only gets you so far in anything, knowledge comes from experience in all forms, not just what you're told is correct. It's important, but it's not as rigid as our interpretations should be.
58
59Why did schools even come to exist in the first place? Children copy their elders by nature, so why not take hold of that effect and drive our society forward? Instead we set the worst precedent possible by making it an authority vs an uncontrollable mass of bored idiots.
60
61We should actually look at what works in out society and let education mirror that. Do away with Maths, Psychics, English ect and break it down in to activities that are filled with context before we introduce more abstract, complex and speculative sides to the subject.

65I think community involvement should be a large part of school. People who're paid ridiculous amounts of money for their jobs love to tell others how hard they work. How about showing kids what that consists of so they have an understanding of the world?
66
67I'm not saying abandon schools, teachers and all forms of study. Just make it activity based and let kids learn a lot of what they can actually use in life.

83The difference between our society and societies that accept slavery is the expectation of protection from these practices. Slavery covers any number of practices as slavery describes the relationship between classes not the specific conditions that were suffered.

97In the 49 seconds of their life I've been able to observe I'd assume they'd suffered much worse than having a motorcycle stolen, because that's most people.

115Labour is more inclusive of different political ideals so there's more division but diversity of opinions and ideas is supposed to strengthen democracy. Having to fight opposition within your own party is healthy for the party.
116
117Anti-socialism being forced on us by Americanisation of our culture makes it hard to discern from genuine criticism of socialism and mindless attacks on what the media has skillfully built up to be 'the enemy'.

But I have very little to live for in the long term so I'd take some Tories out with me for the glory of the working class people. We're the fucking shit and they're cunts. Let's get em!

133Cash in hand for jobs. I don't think you can get a gyro check anymore, but they usually have some option for people without a bank account.
134
135You get paid money and you spend it. To a lot of people bank accounts mean debt.
136
137jimmy_icicle
138## 2018-04-22T19:56:59+00:00
139When you work cash in hand jobs (or get your money through criminal acts) in a poorer community you're very much dependent on favors and relationships with other people.
140
141If you need money to fix something in your house or your car for example you might be compelled to borrow money for it. Alternatively you go direct to a company and they work out a payment structure which you would need a bank account for.
142
143In a poorer community you'd find somebody who will do it for you and then you're only indebted to that person who won't use pressure tactics, who wont add interest or fees for late payment ect.
144
145Because you grow up knowing these people or knowing somebody who knows them you don't really need a company to provide the things you'd commonly end up spending money you don't have on.
146
147Having a bank account gives you the option to get into debt and it's very likely that you'll find your self capitulating to comfort when you could have just held out with no phone or transport or little money for food for a couple of weeks. Your emotional state could lead to decisions against your better judgement, I know I've fallen into that trap. With mismanaged it can compound make your financial position much worse.

155You only need 5-10% of the group acting systematically to have a large enough majority to influence the people acting randomly. It's also obvious (but also has been proven scientifically somewhat) that being aware of emotional manipulation isn't enough to overcome it. For instance, somebody might try and make you angry. Knowing this doesn't make you immune to the effect.
156
157Somebody can take a political issue, conflate it with an emotion or issue that will illicit a certain emotion that is statistically shown to change the behavior of a specific individual. If not you, your friends and family.
158
159You're right society is fucked enough from over-consumption of media but this a much more powerful tool for manipulation. And it's still new technology it will get more aggressive unless people can stop it now.

167Paying back debt is the least efficient way to manage it. We can't borrow money forever, but we can't not borrow money forever. Growth diminishes the real cost of what we owe and in a future generation what was billions to us will be millions to them.

171Yup. Been alone all my life. The list of things I'm good at is longer than the list of things I'm bad at. I can program, play any instrument I've ever had access too as well as mix music, I can draw, I can design, I can fix an engine, I can build a house. I have had initiative and motivation to better my self always. But that's never translated into any monetary effect.
172
173All my middle-class friends have moved on and I've lost interest in being their friend anymore. Having to sit in their 200k home their dads bought them and hear about how I should do this and do that. They don't have a clue and it's tiring to explain because you end up in an interrogation where they're looking for the 'reason' I've failed. With 4 friends and their collective girlfriends and wives it's never a nice situation to be in with a group of people staring down at you with the hopes you can explain away the fact they've been very lucky and you haven't. I understand their sympathy, I do not want it however.
174
175I hang-out almost exclusively with my working class friends now and my problem with them has always been the same. I'm smarter than them and it get's boring. Mostly I sit alone playing music and plotting my revenge against the world. When I'm not working manual labour for minimum wage. That was my choice though, I'd rather break every bone in my body slaving away than sit in an office surrounded by mouth breathers for the same pay.

251Money usurps the need to have any redeeming qualities. Not that they don't have them but they're coincidental rather than applicable to their ideals. Ayn Rand just fills in the gaps of what they already believe with rhetoric.

255Sadly you have to fight through soldiers before you can get to the leaders, even if you recognise their humanity. We can and should eradicate these ideas from the social consciousness as they've been artificially planted and cultivated to disrupt a democratic equilibrium.
256
257History confirms this. Nobody can or should be able to use politics on an anti-society platform. What they're asking for is war and that's the conditions we're in. We're just haven't moblised against it, we're still trying to negotiate. But it only goes on so long eventually the push will happen.
258
259The left-wing is very strong right now in Britain and it's getting stronger, they're a larger united force where as the right have sold out to corporate interests (in the case of the Tories) or sold out to foreign interests (every far right group). Their parties are packed with ghosts, too spooky.

265Students shouldn’t factor in anyway. You’ve got the value of your loan, your education, which sees you a return higher than you would get without it.
266

289The right-wing are allied in interest. The Tory party is allied with DUP and UKIP. They have active representation through them. This is not democratic and they've used this to push through Brexit. Multiple dimensions of collusion created Brexit. Nothing to do with Corbyn or Labour.

313The skills to be comfortably poor have been lost because they're replaced with material comfort of capitalism. Liberals emerge because they understand wealth generally falls in the wrong hands but they believe the class dynamic is necessary.

362
363Fear of foreigners for this reason exists as a psychological consequence of our social tribalism. Capitalists will ignore this as secondary effects are inconsequential as long as the primary effect, having wealth inflated by capitalism, is maintained.

501If God exists humans are incapable of quantifying it. All interpretations are equally valid but the most valid ones keep an open mind and a broad definition of God. God is the universe. God is forces of nature. God is waves. God is light.
502
503All those things drive our existence so they have a logical end-point of certainty. By the best human definition they are God, we're in no position to deny them that title.
504
505The question comes to be then what about an conscious God? Even as somebody who respects science above all else I believe it's a possibility that a conscious being created us and created our universe but that's quite underwhelming.

571A lot of criminals are non-violent and just good at criminality. There's an obvious advantage to being underhanded and having skills that contribute to that fact and they're rewarded by the system. Sometimes it's legitimised by law sometimes it isn't, there's no difference other than class division driving perceptions of how people should behave.
572
573People still exist without the state, the only driving force of yours or anyones submission to it's authority is the power difference between the individual and the state. The actual fact is people are born here and have a natural right to exist here, and theoretically the government could boot you off the island but in reality that's not going to happen.
574
575At no point have these people consented to the states involvement in their actions as they don't extract money from parts of the economy regulated by the state. So why should they ever bend to the will of our laws?
576
577They have no reason too. So I don't blame them, I really don't. The alternative is sad. Exploiting your power to be here is no worse than what any other cunt does to extract value from society. Immigrants don't have that means so they don't have the choice.

591Conservatives will always argue that people need to be punished for their decisions beyond the consequence of them, it's a cornerstone of their ideals...well as long as you're poor and not related to anyone important. If it is a choice to not have a job then not having a job means you have no structure, no purpose, no disposable income, no access to capitalism or any of it's benefits and you're ostracised from most of society.
592
593They argue that not only do you deserve all that but you should be actively harassed in to getting a job (no matter the expense), shamed and demonized as well as have to sit in the smallest space possible inhaling only the nutrients you need until either you buck up your ideas or your brain melts to mush and you're physically incapable of working at all.

He'll be filling in a bit of paper work, maybe watch a safety video, do a test on basic safety skills (these are a mindfuck btw the questions are simple but answers are always stupid), a tour of the warehouse ect.
646
647The training is chill so he shouldn't worry but when he starts the job make sure he gives it 100% from the get go. They notice that stuff in a warehouse.

653You missed an important variable there. Thousands of years of human exploitation. There's value in our lives and in the effort we expend is a recourse. But obviously the elite class don't see it that way.
654
655If any of what you said was true none of that money would go to buy luxury items. When people stop acting like rich cunts then the worker will accept the economy is intrinsically abusive and needs to work this way. Until then let's do everything to put these cunts in their place.

763Money is scarce in the lower classes but the point of capitalism is to have your needs serviced by the economy rather than the community.

775Your argument is that they pay a higher proportion of tax relative to all the tax paid in the country which is utterly meaningless because you're taxed in proportion to what you make as an individual.
776

833Fresh food spoils quickly so more trips to the super market and more waste - longer lines and waiting after work, less motivation to go buy and prepare fresh food when you're fucked and annoyed. More money on transport. Most people have time constraints.
834
835It takes more time to prepare fresh food (unless you go by trained TV chef top of his field times of 15-20 minutes). You need to actively cook for at least an hour, prepping to cooking to serving. Unless you literally eat raw veg. Were as frozen and fried is instant and you can multitask while you're watching kids, cleaning the house, getting your stuff together for tomorrow ect.
836
837You're forgotten the main fucking component of peoples diets PROTIEN. Veg is cheap, but we're not fucking rabbits. I get headaches, fatigue and illness from going without eating meat for even a couple of days. I eat a lot of frozen fish and quick fry steak, which is the best compromise I can find on price and ease. Even then it puts the price of what I eat up considerably.
838
839These people have the Jamie Oliver delusion where they think economic circumstances can be overcome through some magical process that only the middle-class are smart enough to realise, without the economy adjusting to put people right back were they started. The nature of capitalism is just that, if we were a socialist country with focus on the community it probably could be overcome. If meat is cheap it will sell out quicker. If you want more for less you need to be able to store it. If you want to eat fresh veg every day you'll have to out your way to get it. The price of eggs, milk and butter are on the rise. You need a diverse set of equipment that will deteriorate with age and need to be replaced. If it's cheap equipment it will deteriorate more quickly meaning a greater time investment to replace it more often.
840
841Not everyone had the time and money to invest to learn to cook. So add in the cost of all the failed shit you prepare because you got sick of eating raw cabbage every night.
842
843This is just their thinking, we've come to expect it. The economy and all of capitalism is out to fuck you but it's your fault for being fucked.

861People make a choice to ignore these issues. Inaction on an issue is a choice someone has made. He chose to ignore this issue until it became serious, and he chose to end his life following it. People have agency and a level of personal responsibility is kind of necessary to being a functional adult in our society.

863We're a society when people fail, but when they succeed it was the golden individual and their mighty personal achievemnt.

865There's no consistency to these ideals because they're made up by cunts on the spot to justify the destruction of the community in place of the a superficial society, a material culture and a group of humanity out to squeeze the majority for what little wealth they have whether it effects their health or not.

867Then add in the corruption, indocternated hatred of the poor and the blatent conflict of interest that exists at every level of society.

917Never been true anyway. There's a economic order in capitalism or any economy or theoretical economic system. Neo-liberalism just had the luxary of having the wealth of a balanced economy based on worker fulfillment and financial prudence. Our grandparents (or great) really made it work, they worked endlessly and would holiday and spend modestly within Britain (less efisis on nationalism, it's just frugal and retains recources)
918
919Neo-wankism came along and now people do fuck all and jet around the world like it's nothing. There's no value to this sort of vapid and materialistic existance because it makes on one side self-obsessed people and on the other those who're sick of their shit.
920
921Driving a wedge through society is fiscal responsibility the way socialism is murdering jews. Competely missing the fucking point because you believe in WILL OF THE PEOPLE before NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.
922
923Which is why any 'successful' person will put their 'success' down to 'their hard work' (like 90% of the rest of us don't work hard) rather than simply circumstance, forces of the economy and most of all the enormous and intricate systems that support their success.

928
929So I could leave now and run up more debt, get a new job and run up debt waiting for the first payday which is often deferred by a couple weeks so I’ll always be behind anyway or do what I can to save as much as possible in this job and hope it lasts long enough to be worthwhile.

967We've traded what was substantial for what is material. The west is a failed economy kept afloat by cheap labour which in turn destroys any right to be self-realised as a worker.
968
969The consolation offered by the wealthy is that a fixed percentage of us can achieve financial independence but the majority will be living their life dependant on the capital generated by our effort. Those with power will abuse that realtionship, steal from us our culture and we as people are shunned, ridiculed, hated, called out in the media, attacked by politicians and murdered by religious zealots and political enemies in return. The wealthy sit on their thrones, and celebrities and used are living monuments to the insecurity we all share about the existential failure of our society.

976

1001Different frames of reference. It's a generalisation, who is middle-class is unspecific but the same patterns form when you see somebody who's critical of Cobyn but also arguably middle-class.

1006
1007We don't know the Tories plan but we're sure of their intent. The point of politics is to project your intent to the people and policy sadly is secondary.

1015Even if we are wrong there's value in the action of making sure this is not what they're doing. Can you agree to that? Everybody says they're not going to war right up until they start loading the tanks and marching through your country. Does this mean we take down all precautionary measures?

1021There's obvious precedent when it comes to other neo-liberal parties and generally just their dogma. It's guessing, it is, I wont deny that, but a lot of politics and life means guessing at the intent of your opponents so you can act before it's too late.
