    Is this supposed to be a coherent criticism of leftists? Yeah, we believe that liberals are ideologically wrong. We disagree with their ideology. We think that their ideology leads them to the wrong results. Is that really surprising to you? Why do I owe you anything?

      I’ve mentioned it before but the Bluesky lib term equivalent for solidarity is “building coalitions”. And - of course - that means we vote for who and what the libs want. It makes me bitter but it also makes me laugh.

        Bluesky might be one of the worst pieces of fallout form the social media wars. It’s just a blueanon skunk works for them to workshop their new smarmy talking points.

      I’ve tried explaining it to them like “imagine a maga conservative was just like ‘come on bro, just believe what I believe’ without feeling disgusted. That’s how people to your left feel about your liberal project”

      Never goes over well

        I’ve yet to see a case of someone calling geopolitics and issues otherwise related to US imperialism “FP” where the person in question isn’t just trying to downplay genocide. Didn’t Contra do the same thing on her reddit post?

    I’m a working class Northerner who didn’t even hear the word ‘brunch’ until American television started flooding the UK in the 2000s.

    I still really like brunch. I just don’t prefer it to justice, equality, and emancipation.

    Leftists don’t hate you because eating brunch might make you a woman or gay. They hate you because you’d leave the people you proclaim to care about to die in the streets in order to go for mimosa’s in the Zone of Interest garden.

    Is the term PMC woman coded?

    Are Raytheon drones serving?

    Is the rock this Palestinian kid just threw at me toxically masculine?

    Brunch was criminalized in the Soviet Union because it is Western decadence and contrary to the interests of the State.

    You can tell these people have never worked in a kitchen in their entire lives, because brunch attracts the worst customers.

    Don’t send back perfectly good pancakes (w/ extra syrup) because you forgot to ask for the syrup to be on the side so you can film yourself pouring it on for Instagram.

    I’m here on a 10-12 hour shift while understaffed and you’re wasting perfectly good food, doubly so because you’re not gonna finish your plate and you’re too good to take leftovers home so half of it is going directly into the bin.

      Something I hate about eating out is when you get perfectly good food, but the order is slightly wrong or your food got cold. Just bring out the toppings or toss it in the microwave for like 60 seconds! I’ll be explaining that I still want the dish as-is, but it needs something fixed for whatever reason. But then they take away my food and go remake the whole thing.

      One time I was at a pizza place and they accidentally burnt my pizza. Instead of throwing it out, however, they let me eat it and made a new one. Why is this not standard practice? Why are we always throwing out food? And why do these brunch fucks insist on sending things back all the time when their food is fine? The only times I’ve sent something back is when it was a legit health hazard (like someone else’s hair in my soup) or they added something I’m allergic too. Otherwise I don’t care. That shit’s going in my belly.

      It is pretty shocking how toxic some customers can be. I calmly handled a mistake that was much more serious than the trivial annoyances that make them explode.

      I once bit into a chunk of plastic that somehow got into some food that I ordered, and while I was unhappy about it I still wrote my complaint to customer service as inoffensively as possible and later calmly presented the plastic to the manager of the restaurant where I ordered my food. I explicitly told him, ‘I’m not enraged. I don’t want you to fire anybody. I just want you to be more careful next time,’ because my guess was that it was purely accidental. (The customer service agent and the manager both compensated me with discounts, which I accepted.)

          I normally specify that, too. Even when my mom was audibly unhappy after a worker clumsily dropped an ice cream cone on her, I explicitly wrote ‘whatever you do, don’t fire anybody’ in my written complaint to customer service. Workers shouldn’t lose their livelihoods over mistakes like those. Unless I knew that the worker was wilfully acting reckless or simply doing something evil, I would not suggest a firing.

      The only worse thing than brunch customers are the “all day brunch” customers. People who demand brunch meals no matter what time of day.

      Oh boy, I sure do love making muesli and french toast 5 minutes before we close after all the morning stuff has been cleaned and put away, meaning I have to stay back an extra half an hour and get to clean everything up again!

    Class war needs the working classes and the middle classes to team up against the rich. The rich keep us divided, sniping at each other.

      I mean, that literally is how class war has often occurred in human history.

      The peasantry and proletariat (working class) rises up with the bourgeoise and beauracracy (the middle class) to overthrow the feudal class (upper class “rich”).

      Obviously, I doubt this liberal understands the nuances of class, both in bourgeois revolutions in feudal times or in the modern day where the “middle class” would probably be the educated home owners (they own property, but only to the extent that it reduces how much they are exploited, not that they are exploiters themselves).

      And certainly I doubt this liberal is talking about actually abolishing the upper class (big bourgeoise) by nationalising their property!

        Yes very fair. I think the OP is using ‘class’ as a synonym for ‘income’ which obfuscates class relations rather than demarcating them as your comment does.
