The Deprogram Episode 8: Bullion-aires

[@emmasilver2332]

"don't offend pigs, bro" I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alekz112]

Well they're nothing alike. Pigs are horribly exploited, possibly the second worst exploited animal species on the planet after chickens. Billionaires on the other hand...

My very first job I had, I would almost always purposely take for-freaking-ever during bathroom breaks, changing into and out of my work clothes, and hanging out in the break room while on the clock just so I could "steal" some money back from the company.

[@jessh4016]

Fair, considering how much wage theft goes on lol And that's ignoring the inherent theft of the surplus value of your labor in the first place.

[@connerblank5069]

Personally, I watch youtube videos or listen to podcasts. Being distracted isn't dangerous or noticeable for my job, so it's a great way to steal productivity by conditioning myself to work less.

[@emmasilver2332]

Hakim telling people to skim the register gives me nostalgia to when my co-workers at one of my first jobs all skimmed the register & never got caught (unless they're reading this.) good times.

[@fun_ghoul]

A buddy's girlfriend worked in a gas station/coffee shop, and she was probably pulling C$200/shift for over a year. She was eventually found out and fired, but not charged because there was no proof (she knew all the camera angles).

I worked at a thrift store and my coworker would take all the donated DVDs and sell them to a pawnshop. $50 for 200 random DVDs. He said it was his beer money.

[@thepicbloke7246]

It was Yugopnik not Hakim, but good story nonetheless.

[@Tetragrammaton22]

During Yugo's wedding rant he brought up an old idea. It comes from the Institutionalist school of economics and is referred to as the affluent society. The consumption of people is driven by appearance, or keeping up appearances, to be on par with other people who consume luxury goods.

that ex communit is the worst boss remark makes sense in the case of Hayao Miyazaki. Yes, the beloved old man who animates stuff. He became disillusioned from his ideals apperently. I am aware that he also overworked himself along with his employees to make his beloved films.

[@kzisnbkosplay3346]

As far as the same 24 hours - if you are looking for a job with time, I recommend front desk at hotels. Through college that's where I did all my homework, after that I started an Anarcho-Communist blog on the clock, and on company computers. Afternoon and graveyard usually you are the only one there. Just make sure they don't expect front desk to fold laundry 😉.

[@charliesav4902]

Great advice homie doing the same thing

[@heathab1539]

I love every time yugo slips into his Richard Wolf voice 🤣🤣🤣 especially when he first started talking about billionaires from his area lmao

"Conscience laundering" that's good putting that in my back pocket.

[@sevens3]

@50:00 Such a good point about how our experience of capitalism manifests in the regulation of our time--most of us, the working class, are forced to spend most of our time in wage labor or activities connected/related to it, while capitalists have disproportionately more time that is truly free, truly theirs, to dispose of in their sole discretion, because that is very much "part and parcel" with the power they have from the hoards of wealth they've amassed and how that (private wealth accumulation).

[@talkingtoad6606]

i do know some ppl who like to carry hot sauce when they are travelling overseas, just in case the food taste bland~ *also rumors that ppl got kicked out of some fancy restaraunt by the chef due to them adding hot sauce into the dish xD

[@Poetboyy]

I'm reminded of Fellini's 1960 film "La Dolce Vita". Criticizes the rich existentially showing that their wealth only accentuates their misery.

[@Sasheto05]

One of my favourite films and yeah, that movie is such a great attack on the bourgeoisie.

[@mrnotimeman396]

I am going to diary when I watch these podcasts so if I come back I can see where my mindset was at. Your point about that they owe their ideas as payment for their exploitation is really good and it really resonates with me. I am a newbie commie and I am just starting to learn (I haven't read the communist manifesto yet) Thank you for helping me on my growth of knowledge. You are educators and should feel pride. :) Thank you for your time and labor. It is working.

I'm so grateful for this, as I don't like Spotify I actually downloaded it only, because of The DeProgram, so you can imagine my exciment when I saw this channel! I love The DeProgram guys, it has to be my favourite podcast ever and this that you made a yt channel for it was a really awesome idea, as now we watchers can interact with you guys!😊 Much love from Finland❤ Keep up the excellent smegma grindset and you 3 will be billionaires in no time!

I once had a friend who drank an entire bottle of Siracha for lunch, so I guess there's exactly 1 person on earth who likes hot sauce as much as Hilary claims (and just to be clear, that was the entire lunch, and it wasn't a dare. He literally just brought a bottle of siracha to school and chugged it during lunch. Not the weirdest thing he did either...)

My first job was at a movie theatre and I would have to work until 10-11 at night so I always made myself 2 or 3 extra hotdogs to eat after I was done working but before I clocked out.

Just started this video, but wanted to say that this reminds me that I'm reading Snyder's On Tyranny at the moment, and while he makes good points about fascism, in addition to the Nazis he only goes after communists and never capitalists. 4 chapters in so we'll see, and at this point I do need a stronger, more clear definition of the difference between socialism and capitalism. Thank Gan for all the leftist educational material on YT....for now. * annoyed sigh* 😂😅

I disagree with you guys about the space stuff, it is imperative as a species that we go out and explore space, the potential benefits are near infinite, ofcourse it would be best if this advancement was made by a publicly owned space program instead of billionaires, but that doesn't make the advancements any less impressive
