We are all prostitutes
Everyone has their price
We are all prostitutes
Everyone has their price
Everyone!

And you too will learn to live the lie
And you too will learn to live the lie
And you too will learn to live the lie
Everyone has their price

Aggression!
Competition!
Ambition!
Consumer fascism!

We are all prostitutes

Capitalism is the most barbaric of all religions

Department stores are our new cathedrals

Our cars are martyrs to the cause

Working 70 hours a week in a sweltering kitchen isn’t any better than Ivan Denisovich had it.

Idk seems pretty honest to me. The only thing I trust the government with is things that we share a common interest in like not starting a nuclear war.

^ Have you had a change of heart that I missed out on, Anteater? Back in the hot and heavy days of The Trump Thread, I couldn't imagine you writing something like that.

Not really. The only reason Yang has any chance at all is because Trump became President. He's been a good shakeup to the status quo, especially after two prior elections where China attempted to interfere and nobody seemed to care.

^ That's a relief - I though for a minute I'd lost the one person who is willing to respond to my political rants!

^ 70 hours a week is brutal, though I think I'd rather be in a hot kitchen than in Siberia. If I remember right, a typical workbreak for Ivan D was a mug of boiling water which he drank while squatting on a bit of permafrost that the authorities had designated as a building site. I may not've worked construction in Siberia, but I have waited, in mid-winter, at windswept London bus-stops for over half-an-hour at a time, so I can imagine how Ivan D must've felt.
