fellow IT worker here …

The sickle and hammer are not representative of planting some flowers in a garden.

If you’ve never done any real farming, I recommend you try it even for a day to learn a whole new appreciation for our modern way of life. It is brutal backbreaking work … and so were most industrial jobs from the era of soviet communism.

Thank god for modernization, but I also agree on the despair of being a slave for an ultra rich asshole. I’m dealing with it by starting a corp with a couple of buddies that is owned by us and doing some work on the side … hopefully this can eventually free us from the chains.
