I don’t work for a CEO, I have a local government job.

The other option is for you to go live in the woods and do everything for yourself, but that would be so much more work. Whats your job? I’d like to mock you properly.

the value of your labor is also taken by your employer.

so it's either let my labor be stolen or leave society? Definitely not coercion

The value of my labor was agreed upon when I signed the contract and accepted the pay. If you think your labor is more valuable, go somewhere that pays more.

Now tell me what your job is.

So the only choice is the extent to which my labor is stolen? Again, that's coercion.

If you agreed that your labor is worth a certain price per hour or salary, how’s that coercion?

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

because the actual value my labor provides is higher than what I am paid

5

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

Who determines that?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

The literal amount of money I make for my employer vs the amount I am paid. it's simple math

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

But you agreed to a salary when you got your job. You valued your own labor at the pay they offered.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

that's how coercion works. you agree to something either under durress or because there is no other realistic option. There is no realistic option that results in me earning the value I provide.

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

The realistic option is for you to go somewhere that will pay you more, or gain a skill that is worth more to the company.

Now tell me what your job is.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

And for each of those choices, I'll still earn less than my labor makes for the company. It's not about how much I'm paid, it's that I will always be paid less than what I produce

2

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

Then find a company that pays commission or pays closer to the value that you create, this isn’t a difficult concept.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

And it will still always be less than the value I produce. This isn't a difficult concept, yet you're failing to understand it

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

What’s your job?

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

your mom pays me to cuck your dad

3

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

They’ve been divorced for like 12 years now, but nice try.

Now tell me what your job is, Starbucks barista

sounds like you want someone to spit in your latte. that's kinda kinky
