A lot of people’s free time goes towards setting up things that goes towards more free time in the future, like planting gardens. A lot of their free time also goes towards things like rest, which is radical in this capitalist hellhole of a society. We work more efficiently when we take time to heal, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This efficient work allows us to rest more, repeating the cycle.
Since this is a feedback loop, wasting even a little bit of someone’s time regularly can make a big impact
This is why capitalists hate cashiers sitting down. They can say it is about “professionalism” all they want, but the point is to tire you out. When you are tired you can’t look for another job, you can’t build things like gardens that reduce your dependence on them, and you can’t build other forms of organizations that get you what you need. All you have time for is to sit down, order some food, and fall asleep.
[Moral of the story: if for some reason a lot of cops got bedbugs it would reduce the amount of policing they are able to do both now and into the future]
In-depth political discussion from around the world; if it’s a political happening, you can post it here.
So people coming to this community from in and outside Beehaw are generally looking to have conversations about current political happenings. It’s not that a post like yours isn’t allowed, and I’m not even trying to frown upon it or anything. Posts just tend to get more engagement (or the right kind of engagement) if you post it in a community that matches the intended audience.

I personally don’t have any issues with something like this being posted in !politics, but @coyotino’s question is valid.

Regardless, I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you enjoy the community that we’re working to build.
