If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

>if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

Coffee shop cashier becomes communist

Lmao imagine being a living stereotype

Imagine being surprised at any shit takes chapo pulls. I expect more from you Steve

I'm not surprised, it's just funny that these "people" are literal stereotypes that boomers use

A great mind once said "fiction reveals truth that reality obscures"

Radicalized is when you start seeing stereotypes as ideal.

That’s why I always do some calculus to find out the least amount of work I can do and not get fired. Ride the line, don’t give up that labor value for free comrades!

Every job has a lazy asshole, it's not rocket science to copy them lul

"Chapo barista" is redundant

I assume "chapo" means unemployed suicidal tranny tbh

eh those are the elite chapos that are actually employed

They're the sleeper agents that will take down capitalism, one bottom-rung manager at a time

I'm a manager at my job and I make every effort to do less work than the unlucky peons working under me. Feels great

You’re probably a shitty manager then

I definitely am, but my department gets shit done and I don't give a fuck how the underlings see me. I get the best of both worlds. Home office won't ever get rid of me since I get results, and I get a cushy job for good pay. I'm set up and I love the fact that the idiots under me do more work for less pay

Stop drama posting and get back to work wagey

Don't need to, I have people to do it for me

You cant ping your employees retard

None of us can ping idiot

Exactly now get off drama and get to work wagey

I already told you I have peons doing everything that needs done

There was a breadtube mouth breather who said the same thing about tim hortons i think, how the work was "dehumanizing" because someone told him what to do.

Socialists are genetic losers and we need to accept that

Do they think they’ll enjoy work more when it’s commissar Cletus telling them to do something?

Most socialists and communists online are antiwork losers who think needing to contribute is unfair. The fact that they cant do what they want at all times and places is inherently dehumanizing to them.

Be in communist country

still Barista

get yelled at by high ranking members of the communist party

make even less money

In REAL gommunism everyone would be in charge so everyone would be a barista and high ranking party official simultaneously, resulting in everyone yelling at everyone else and themselves.

I remember when I was in high school making sandwiches and I realized that however hard I worked, I made the same amount of money.

Them years later I read Marx and learned about the labor theory of value.

I haven't even gotten out of bed yet and that's the goddamn dumbest thing I'll read all day.

Anyone who believes in the Labour Theory of Value would probably be better off as a drooling lobotomized vegetable.

The purpose of the LTV is to make sure morons who believe in it never get a good job.

wasn't much risk of that anyway

The thing the manager is probably working on is budgets or supply chain and working the line is way more enjoyable.
