You need to have money to pay for daycare, and petty bourgs have class solidarity with each other. They are able to selectively choose small and local businesses for daycare.

Is keftypol really just a bunch of 14 year olds?

I think that "millions of people should unionize and strike" is not really a plan.

>>299
Are you implying you need to be petty booj to afford daycare? It's like 250/month for one kid at the cheaper ones where I live. 125 from each parent. Some self described "reserveless proles" spend that much on weed or booze each month. nearly all families get daycare these days because both mom and dad need to work during the day to make ends meet and they can't get jobs where they never see each other and take turns watching the kid. This is especially true when the kid is old enough for daycare (1 or 2 years old) but not old enough to be a "latchkey kid" (5-10 depending on how much you trust them).

don't expect anons here to actually understand how real life works for most people

Stop applying for bullshit parasite jobs. Lower wages and no contribution to social-aggregate product, the semi-proletarian retail service worker is distinct from proletariat. Assembly line wages make far higher wages because they actually produce value.

So apparently Marx when it came to the Irish claimed that they drove wages down. He also argued that the most dire effect was in dividing (due to chauvinism, and material concerns) the working-class stifling their ability to organize together against their oppressor. He called this "the secret of the impotence of the English working class." They also dip into the literature and emphasize that being undocumented significantly depreciates wages, among other things.

Every compromise you make is just a betrayal against the self
Take me for example. I was so impressed with the takedown of 4chan i legitimately thought soyjak party could listen to reason. We'd prove mods just don't need to exist and I'd introduce beareaucratic socialism to them to ween them off the drug of transhumanist janny tyranny where like
>you just delete posts not ban
>someone oversees you before you delete the post and/or you pay crypto to permit the post deletion

Instead, i get jannied and defamed while so. Of course i do. All mods need a bat to the head. There's no reasoning with them, no bargaining, no prioritizing. That's how you have to face all challenges is a fucking bat until the thing against you stops moving

Mafia involvement in unions made them less effective, not more effective. The mafia are among the most bloodthirsty and reactionary cross-section of the petty bourgeoisie and lumpenproletariat. They take over unions in order to give their sons "no-show" jobs, spy on the labor movement for the FBI in exchange for reduced sentences for horrible crimes they did, and in general skim union dues for their coke and hooker habits. Cosa Nostra are scumbags who will kidnap and rape your daughter and then turn her out as a hooker. They're the worst of the worst. A lot of Mafia guys were pro Italian fascism. And they're in bed with the worst crooks in the film industry which constantly pumps out shitty media to make them look relatable and cool.

I wouldn't be surprised if mafia infiltration of unions was a long term goal of the intelligence apparatus in the US state in order to ruin the reputation of unions by associating them with organized crime.

Listen to these deconstructions of union depictions in Hollywood movies

RISE AND GRIND FUCKBOYS WE GOT MONEY TO MAKE

How do you convince yourself that the epidemic of NEETDOM is not inherent to the system itself? We ostracize youth from society by putting them in dormitory communities where they will be raised by small and often fragile communities away from any space where they can socialize properly, constantly have to see children moved around from place to place throughout their education killing off any bonds they form with their community around them, and then suddenly bombard them with an endless chore list (sometimes literal) of responsibilities they have to fill out ALONE until they die just to be considered a functioning adult, and then bombard them with even more demands for work that ask of them to take care of their employers despite having zero experience and sometimes even training about whatever career they were likely forced to pursue over their own interests?

There is never a clear point where anybody is meaningfully supported to grow into a mature adult in our society that demands more of them. People like Cyraxx and asmongold don’t exist in a vacuum. They’re created and left to grow in numbers. Barely any parenting, barely any government support, barely any reaffirmation from peers, constant competition, and an endless sludge fest of consumer garbage to infantilize people in mass and were wondering why there are so many man children these days.

>>710
>Fragile communities away from any space where they can socialize properly.
Hadn't heard such a position before.
Guess it's basically restricted to lunch, halls, and "extracurriculars".
And they obviously fade away, because they're assembled on a purely temporal basis.

>Bombard them with an endless chore list to be considered an adult.
Not sure this is really so much of an issue.
There simply are many things one needs to do.

>Zero experience and sometimes even training about whatever career […] over their own interests.
This seems to me to be the crux of the matter.
If there was something one enjoyed doing which happened to make money there wouldn't be a problem at all.
There's clearly a problem in presenting and developing these opportunities.

>>716
We don't raise kids into adults.
We just force them to do idle busywork with no worldly training.
There's no classes for financial education, home cooking, basic home repair, etc.

Society think academic skills are the ultimate replacement for common sense, social skills, and blue collar skills.

>Create a fake business and open new checking accounts that give you $$$ for direct deposits

Along the same lines, work as an independent contractor or self employed if you can and then you can write off your normal daily expenses for taxes by claiming them as a business expense.

All thats needed to fend of the IRS leeches is some bs paperwork proving it was a business expense. And save some extra money from the taxes youre saving on in the future. That way if you ever do get audited, you can buy a fancy lawywer to fend off the leeches. In the end you'll still be net positive depriving defenseporkies of your tax dollars, be a true a patriot and avoid your taxes.

>>431
Also pay the statement balance on the credit card every month to avoid interest. Never pay the minimum only as they rape you with taxes on that. You can pay the full balance if you have the money, but theres no real additional benefit over paying the statement balance.

If you ever get hit with a fee, call the fucks and threaten to cancel the card and theyll usually waive it. Ive had 100s waived in fees and interest before if you just act like you forgot to check.

>>432
Also learn how to do basic maintenance and repairs yourself and you can save a few hundred. Its not hard to change fluids, just get those fucking car ramps and some jack safeties and unscrew the drain plug, change the oil filter and top-off. There are manuals for your car you can find online to help.

Mechanics dont do anything special and half the time they fuck up more than they do a proper job. Just do it yourself.

Or if youre in an area with low/slow car traffic get a scooter. My insurance for the scooter is literally 35$ for the YEAR.

>>434
>Along the same lines, work as an independent contractor or self employed if you can and then you can write off your normal daily expenses for taxes by claiming them as a business expense.
Only works in burgerstan maybe. Here being an indipendent contractor is a way for businesses to fuck you over harder.

>Fortunately this isn't really the case, but if it is it's exactly the problem.
It's to the extent to which they're non-industrial that they're able to create beyond the myopic views of industry.
If it did serve industry, industry would need to reinvent it as something separate from it.

On the individual level it's this non-industrial attitude gives freedom, and with it meaning to the enterprise.
What meaning can there be in a world in which decisions are made by an impersonal dictatorial force.
When will we escape the totalitarian logic of rationality, of economics, and be free.

"They give more agency to the markets than they do to themselves"

This anti-industrial attitude is exactly what university promotes and they create excess laws to bar youth from industrial affairs

Thanks for the help anon. We have for the record, been regularly paying this off so again I'm not even sure if they have ground to stand, but I have no doubt they can be stupid enough to try anyway.
There's also the problem that they might just not renew the contract but at least then we'll have months to plan where to go instead of only 14 days. That housing delay tip will come in handy.

>>483
A lot of landlords rely on summary judgement. You don't show up to contest them in court, and so the judge rules in their favor even if their suit is groundless.

>>481
Ok well it gets a bit harder if u just skipped paying. BUT do not pay the landleech because in most states theres a requirement for the landleech to find another tenant within 2 months of you moving out. So if youre not living there, the most youd be on the hook for is that anyways (check your state laws).

The best defense though is to claim you were withholding the rent because the leech didnt perform the necessary repairs or that the apartment was uninhabitable due to conditions.

If you have to plant some roaches or some shit and take pictures as proof. If you had already sent emails from before along a similar line youd have a pretty good case.

Dont worry about showing up to court because even if they got a judgment against you, most leeches give up trying to collect it anyways as its a whole another process.

just to put in perspective, I dodged 15k$+ of rent and because the landleech couldnt find me, he couldnt serve me and just gave up. That was over 5 years ago so now its out of the statute of limitations anyways.

Welp their attorneys just sent a letter. We didn't accept and sign for it or are going to pick it up. We'll wait for the official court summons.
So we still don't know why they're suing.
Anyway they'll probably just refuse to renew the lease regardless so… lol.

>>485
Also the problem is that to counter sue over repairs is giving landlords the time to fix this while withholding.

data analytics is cooked because of all the retards who made day in the life tiktok vids about it. there are no jobs left and its oversaturated, do something else

I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.

I've seen things like The Wizard Book, Rust, LISP, R-something (used a lot in science?), Python (apparently old now and there's something newer Paul Cockshott uses?)…

I just want to be able to bash things together to prove points on the fly.

But I did Arts as a degree and theatre through school so I'm cooked ;_;

>>637
This would make me p. sad if it was true.

>>647
>I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.
Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.
The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

>>647
Just learn Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

>>635
>Schizo imageboard users don't represent the program

Anons always say this yet I see the same sentiments again and again even unprompted. And they're called out on it they get upset.

>They're aren't dummies but they are misguided. Skepticism of the world as it is doesn't produce clarity, it produces paralysis. When carried out to its conclusion it collapses into mysticism. Scientific socialism isn’t a belief system, it’s a method rooted in dialectics: a reflection of the world in motion, rich with contradiction and continuous development.

This is could be applied to rationalize believing in God as a personal mandate. It can also be used to rationalize capitalism and classical liberalism.

>>636
>This is could be applied to rationalize believing in God as a personal mandate.
How? There is a world independent of human thought. That world is composed of material reality, which exists whether or not individuals believe in it. "God," on the other hand, would only exist in that person’s mind. This framework can't be used to rationalize God as a personal mandate because God is an abstraction that doesn’t directly engage with the material world or its contradictions. Dialectical materialism, by its nature, begins with material reality, not abstract concepts. Religion may emerge from material contradictions—like alienation and oppression—but it doesn’t produce the kind of tangible, historical change that dialectical materialism analyzes.Similarly, neither God, liberalism, nor capitalism can be rationalized through dialectics as eternal truths. Liberalism and capitalism emerged from specific material conditions, and while they have shaped historical development, they are not immutable. Dialectical materialism offers a method for understanding the material world and the historical process, not a belief in unchanging abstract principles.

>>638
There is still much about physics we don't know about
We only just began discovery of the subatomic realm. And political/economic systems aren't even agreed upon by their mere definition.

>>639
It’s true that there’s still much we don’t know about the subatomic world. But that uncertainty doesn’t disprove dialectical materialism. The real question isn’t whether science uncovers new phenomena—it’s whether those discoveries materially affect human productive activity and social relations.Take Carbon-14: its radioactive decay had no bearing on human life for most of history. It only became socially relevant once humans discovered it and integrated it into scientific labor—radiocarbon dating. It crossed from the natural domain into the social.Subatomic and quantum physics may eventually follow suit—quantum computing, for example, could restructure parts of our economy. But until such breakthroughs shape production, they remain at a level of existence detached from daily life. Dialectical materialism deals with the mutual development of humans and nature, mediated through labor—not abstract metaphysics.The claim that political and economic systems aren’t “agreed upon by definition” misses the point. Social systems aren’t sustained by philosophical consensus; they persist because humans build, participate in, and transform them through material activity. Whether or not we define them the same way, they exist—and we live in their consequences.
