How To Be An Online Leftist On The Israel-Palestine Conflict 101 Tutorial

Step 1: get a superficial knowledge on whatever happened in the last ~70 years through Breadtube video essays and lefty meme pages
Step 2: say that genocide & murdering children are bad (so original! Incredible! A genius!)
Step 3: say that whoever is currently opposing genocide & murdering children is bad too because they don’t match your exact ideals
Step 4: NEVER advocate for a feasible alternative solution people are supposed to support instead
Step 5: NEVER advocate for the end of the institution that was specifically founded for genocide & murdering children. That would be antisemitic, sweetie
Step 6: when they explain you how your idealistic scenario would led to Palestine being fully destroyed, say that whoever supports the opposers of genocide & murdering children is just as bad (to be more original, you can also call them “tankie”, “Nazi” or “terrorist apologizer”)
Step 7: repeat until the internet stops talking about this conflict and moves on the next one

Congratulations! You just posted online your fully-detached-from-reality opinion on the Israel-Palestine conflict! The world is a better place because of your contribution! Injured children in bombed schools will sleep peacefully knowing you’re against both sides!

FAST FOOD CHEF FROM KAZAKHSTAN. [Part 1\2]

Wage workers - who are they?

These people work in factories and create all the goods we buy in stores. These people work in the fields and grow all the things we eat. These people build schools, hospitals, roads, parks, and homes. These people teach our children, heal our elders, and keep order in our society. These people are us.

Why do we have to work for wages? Because we need the means to live, we need products and services that we can only buy with money. In order to get money to survive, we sell our labor power to those who are called entrepreneurs, businessmen, capitalists.

Not only do we perform all the basic physical labor, but we also engage in science, commerce, law, banking, management, accounting, etc. Why then do businesses remain owned by a small circle of capitalists who appropriate profits that are absolutely not equivalent to their labor participation in the public economy?

Many conscious wage earners are already uniting and fighting for their liberation. Their goal is to destroy private ownership of the means of production, their goal is to take over the enterprises and control the results of their labor by themselves. Such conscious wage laborers are Communists.

But do all wage workers realize that their interests are common and are they willing to fight for them?

Today we will tell you about the working conditions and views of an ordinary cook from Kazakhstan who works in fast food. The worker we interviewed is a twenty-two-year-old Kazakh guy. He has a degree in exterior and interior design, and has previously worked as a teacher of Fine Arts, a loader, and an administrator in a restaurant.

As he himself tells about his current place of work, it is a team of 18 people, where there are both men and women, Russians and Kazakhs. There are no conflicts on ethnic or religious grounds, the environment is friendly.

His shift starts from 12 pm to 1 am, and the main work starts in the evening. He is paid 10,000 tenge (20.76 USD) per shift, although in the same region others can earn 15,000 KZT (31.14 USD) and 20,000 KZT (41.52 USD) for similar work. He himself does not consider his salary fair, as he has author's recipes and cooks half of the menu: shawarma, pizza, ramen, khachapuri, wings, etc. Now it is his first month of work in this place and with the growth of revenue he was promised to earn a higher salary, and he expects to receive up to 30,000 KZT per shift (62.28 USD).

For a better understanding, to rent an apartment in this region one currently need about 120 000 KZT (249.11 USD) per month. Food costs are as follows: potatoes cost 250 KZT (0.51 USD) per kg, tomatoes and cucumbers cost 700 KZT (1.45 USD) per kg, 1 kg of rice costs 1000 KZT (2.08 USD), a bottle of milk - 600 KZT (1.25 USD), and 1 kg of beef costs 3000 KZT (6.23 USD).

Our cook believes that for now his salary is enough to meet his needs, and in the future he plans to sell his plot of land and open his own small business.
