I have a close friend that I've known 20 years who became obsessed with right-wing politics. even though I'm liberal, I don't make it my entire personality and life. But anyway... I was talking to him this morning casually like friends do.

Me: "Hey man. Do you have off today for MLK day?" Friend: "No, I have to work today." Me: "Damn, sorry to hear. I have off today since it's a company holiday." Friend: "Yeah, I work for a living. Guess that's the difference me and people who live in an ivory tower." Me: "Uhh I work for a living too. Idk why you're acting like I don't?" Friend: "I didn't mean you specifically. But you’re off and I’m not so it shows that you get to relax at least. You should be able to handle the truth lol. There's no shame in admitting that I'm a harder worker than everyone else. you shouldn't be so sensitive"

Honestly, he's not unique, either. I've met so many people who are conservative, obsessed with right-wing stuff, and they're all like this. They act like they're special and the whole world is lazy, "no one wants to work anymore" attitude.

Not sure about moist ;p haha, but he doesn't sound like a friend. At the very least, not one I for one, would consider so.

Even if you were better off than him, not that it sounds like it or I am inferring it, he shouldn't have to be an outright prick.

Playing the devils advocate though, reading your conversations without the right tone, I am wondering if he might have thought you were bragging about the day off.

Not sure about moist

What do you mean by moist? 🤔

he shouldn’t have to be an outright prick

I think he has no idea of self-perception. It seems like he is completely oblivious to it.

Tankies are pretty bad too but at least they only exist online.

Some people are too stupid to understand to advocate for themselves against their owner daddy.

They only know to advocate for themselves against dirty migrant workers who gonna take their jerbs! But never against the owner hiring these undesirables.

To be clear, liberals have their own blind spots.

How is hiring some overpaid clown and make you sit through a "seminar" during work is DEI?

Like a poisonous wet sock.

I'm not sure I agree that they're moist.

If you get paid more you can parrot the talking point that you are more valuable and work harder that is why you are compensated more. Or point out you have more leverage at your job because it is more valuable that is why you get more days off.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah but then the clowns feelz would be hurt and they are not very good at coping with being checked like thay

Ego bruises too easily

There’s a British politician called Kemi Badenoch who wants to end paid holiday…it’s definitely, wrongly, a wildly held view point.

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

They don't even respect opinions at all most of the time.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago

That goes for both sides to be honest & I'll die on this hill with zero hesitation
