Hustle Culture
Working a 9-to-5 job is way better than being a full-time streamer or content creator—steady pay beats begging for subs any day. Hustle culture’s for people with no dignity or self worth.

What is your alternative to capitalism if you think its a problem? I never said streamers existing and making money doing it isnt capitalism. it is. And in fact, i even subscribe to a few on twitch because i like their content and 5 dollars isnt much considering my income. Doesnt mean they arent begging for money.
I think Elon is incompetent and only has been carried by inherited money his whole life, in that sense he isn't better than a streamers, streamers exist because tipping mentality is proeminent in places like USA, arguably where many peoples actually use tipping as a substitute to an actual salary or complement, Some streamers push this further however and by all account is it really begging when you essentially provide a service? Even if the payment itself is merely a suggestion, well it has been the norm for several peoples and even yourself default to it, do i need to add anything? It's how things works, honor and dignity simply does not exist in such an ecosystem, all i'm asking is to adjust your values to your reality.

It's got no value in said hustle so you can't simply ask them to care about it, when the big fish make the rules and they perfectly got the assignement right, capitalism is wrong in it's own merits and promote it, because it promote mediocrity, yes but they still succeed.

Elon incompetent? Guy turned a maybe $28K nudge from his dad into $353B. You cant make the claim he inherited a fortune without knowing for sure. Meanwhile, streamers are out here twerking for $5 subs. Inherited money? No proof, just vibes, emerald mine’s a fairy tale until you show receipts. Streamers ‘provide a service’? Sure, if you call giggling at chat a job. Capitalism doesn’t owe anyone a paycheck for existing, tips or not. Elon built rockets and EVs, that’s not ‘mediocrity,’ it’s bending reality to his will. Hustle’s not about ‘honor’, it’s results. Capitalism rewards winners, not whiners. Streamers banking on pity bucks prove it. Adjust my values? Nah, I’ll stick to backing the dude who’s colonizing Mars over someone crying ‘it’s just how things work’ while their bank account is on life support

if you are a unionist and actually fight for workers rights that's cool, i'm also unionised with the rest of the conservators in my country as well and we do just the same. depending where you live and what jobs you have taken so far this couldn't be unreal but it's very rare. my tools also cost a lot and i also have to replenish them very often because they wear out quite easily due to acids. if you found a way to circumvent capitalism that is fine but your example is not the systemic example. you are the exception to the rule which only enforces and confirms the rule.

i am not naive at all, i live and compete daily within the same system we all are. but i wouldn't call a content creator or a streamer jobs for people without worth. other people demand for them so it's logical they will get paid as well.

Again, you are assuming stuff about me based on your own life and its not a smart take. Just because i am a member of a union doesnt mean i cant or shouldnt criticize unions or even my own union. Union rules say my company must supply me with tools to do the job. I didnt circumvent capitalism, im playing the game and doing decent at it. There are 12k people in my union all doing the exact same thing i am so it is the systemic example for where i live. i am not an exception to the rule if 12k people are in the exact same position as i am.

Also, the owner of the company i work for, is also "just" a plumber and not a member of the union himself. And he is by far, more rich than me. explain that.

sorry for the late reply i was sleeping.

well i am not here to present smart or hot takes tbh, i am here to discuss honestly. smart or not, hot or not is simply my take and take it with as much salt you wish that is up to you to judge.
being within a union of course doesn't mean no criticism, constructive criticism is necessary but having unions is required so that workers are not taken advantage from employers and bosses.

my own union doesn't specify that our tools must be provided by our own museum, it is ours to acquire but in turn this is covered through the salary we receive. still though you make it much much better than plumbers here in my country because here a plumber can never own a house that costs 1.2m euros, it's simply unreal to even consider. even the best of the best live in decent houses but nowhere near the value of your own house, even if they have families to take care off, they do so and they compete successfully but nowhere near your calibre i am afraid.

even if all of the plumbers where you live are of the same salary caliber with yours, it is still an exception i am afraid as it is not the general systemic rule around the world. perhaps you guys are the best paid plumbers in the world but this is certainly not the rule around the planet from a small search i did. i won't explain how the owner of your company is richer than you but i assume that since he is the owner then he is the receiver of the greater percentage of the capital your company receives from your work, could explain as to why he's not a member of the union as well, wouldn't be very wise of him to join the union in that sense.
A lot of jobs these days is just corporate slavery.

You dont understand. I know there seems to be a bit of a language barrier and geographic issues. I will try to explain better.

Yes my house is valued 1.2m. The average house price in my area is 1.2m. My house is average. I dont live in a giant mansion. Its 1200 square feet. I am also not claiming to be rich. Im just getting by in my cities and countries economy. But I am comfortable.

My point about the guy who owns the company being rich seems to have been missed. He is also just a plumber and his is really rich. So, i am comfortable and he is rich. We are both just plumbers. By that logic, it is very possible for a plumber to be rich. I wand pointing out that plumbers can even be super rich.

Also, different unions operate in different manners. My union serves the private sector since plumbing companies are not state run. It sounds like you are a member of a public sector union since museums are usually government owned. I may be wrong.

So slavery is progressive as long as you pay your slaves?

Does not make it right, it's only progressive depending on your perspective on it.

YOU said the egyptians were 'advanced' because they paid their slaves. YOU said that. Do you know what a synonym for "advanced" is??? "Progressive".

Who cares if it's progressive or not. You like slavery after all, it's survival of the fittest. The fittest enslave others. The real question is why are you pro slavery?

Im not the one going around claiming a certain civilization was more "advanced" because they paid slaves.

You are also pro slavey. Get off your high horse. Whatever hardware you are posting on these message boards with was made by slaves. The shoes on your feet were made by slaves. The corn you ate for dinner was picked by slaves. Do you eat bananas, drink coffee, use prescription drugs? So daft.

So you are a con artist? a scammer? lying and tricking people somehow?

Anyway, yeah, getting handouts for nothing must be such a flex—meanwhile, the rest of us actually earn our keep instead of banking on charity. Enjoy the free ride while it lasts!

That person isn't even female. They've tried to add me so many times I almost reported them. It's one of those "e-girl" accounts run by a guy trying to scam people, preying on desperate young males.

Doesn't matter how many hours you spend upon something, but rather depends on if you enjoying doing it or not.
