Wandering Adventure Party

@TheOneSwit @jef @henry
I think that was later
I think frozen lasagna wasn't a thing yet when a majority of horses were killed because cars replaced them

@flq @phf @jef @henry
Only indirectly.

says it originates in commercials where dog food producers claim that they feed it to their own dogs.

Indirectly, because canned dog food was invented for disposing of "excess horses" (Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_food?useskin=vector#History
says "no longer needed for the war [WW1]", but I'm pretty sure I read elsewhere that cars replacing carriages was also a big factor)

@phf @jef @henry
They hope to evade that fate with fascist surveillance states, tech billionaires founding Palantir and similar companies is no coincidence

@phf @jef @henry
Yeah, but I think their plan is to be on the winning side and dogfood the people they put out of work

@jef @henry
They were literally turned into dogfood.

@jenniferplusplus @ireneista
ok, maybe a "strike" like in "airstrike"

@ireneista @jenniferplusplus
I mean you can probably also have illegitimate labor strikes (not just legally but also morally)

anyway, what about "sabotaging the civil society" or "war against the civil society"?

@ireneista @jenniferplusplus
not arguing against full stoppages, but a strike without goals or demands doesn't seem very useful to me

@ireneista @jenniferplusplus
ok, never heard it before.
FWIW, the analysis is spot on.
But calling it "strike" in the end strengthens capitals strategy of discrediting labor strikes as lazy/greedy/...

Not sure what a better term would be - sth about "starving/pauperizing the 99%"?

@jenniferplusplus @ireneista
if I just silently refuse to work and maybe embezzle my employers resources without any communicated goal that wouldn't be called a "strike" either

@jenniferplusplus @ireneista
I don't know, calling it a "strike" gives this practice more legitimacy than it deserves.. makes it sound like a tool to achieve (mostly) legitimate/understandable goals

@aburtch weirdly, episodes 3 and 4 seem to be there, but not 2 and not 5+

Could be a mistake, of course, and maybe that payed thing is German-only?
But would be a weird mistake to already miss the second episode

@aburtch @cos
is it free?
or just the first episode?
can't find the second one and where usually a playlist or something would be I get this:
