  • Part of the problem of communicating the idea that workers are exploited is that a lot of the audience has been trained to hear socioeconomic words as trigger words for capitalism. Using the capitalist terms provided will avoid the cognitive trigger placed by generations of propaganda. “You’re not paid enough” is the start of “surplus value”.

    “Boss makes a dollar while you make a dime for the same amount of company time - but you’re working harder. You’re doing the actual work. You deserve to be paid like it.”

    “Company profits are the bosses celebrating how much they didn’t pay you for working harder than them”

    “Did you get a bonus for doing your work? Because they got a bonus for your work.”







  • This is the kind of thinking that helped me understand the difference between UK and US biscuits, why they are different, how they are different, and how biscuit means “twice cooked” and how after generations they are fundamentally both not biscuits.

    Biscuits were par cooked in a log/loaf and then sliced. Toast is closer to OG biscuits than whatever either country currently call biscuits.
