    this has severe conservative energy. the fuck is this even supposed to mean? if you’re paid for it, it’s a job, dumbass. that’s literally the only metric.

                Your statement prior to my link was that “There are lots of things you wouldn’t see in a children’s book” which I have sufficiently defeated quite handily. Since you seem unsatisfied, how about this:

                  I wouldn’t say having a pet bunny is bad, even if it is gay

                  As for a serial killer thriller book. I don’t think it’s intended for children there have been adult comic books before

                  I think you are intentionally lying to be contrarian

        well at least this is a more specific take and, apart from duct tapers, seems roughly sensible in what it’s trying to say, if i understood correctly from my cursory glance, that jobs should be more fulfilling than making the elite feel better.

        but the tweet is doing a very bad job if this is really what they’re alluding to. the tweet’s framing is more similar to reactionary rhetoric against sex work, entertainment and art, clean jobs, and basically anything that’s not coal mining.

          reactionary rhetoric against sex work

          Oh, I can definitely see an animal doing sex work in a… Not-children’s book. I think that’s the whole idea behind furries.

            It’s the “children’s book” bit that’s the important bit though. Basically he’s advocating for a child’s view of the world, where a job requires hitting things with a hammer.

            The irony of course been that the artist who drew that book, presumably wouldn’t be considered to have a worthwhile job by this philosophy.

      I think it’s trying to say that intellectual jobs are not jobs. Which is demonstrably not true.

      If all the investment bankers went away we’d probably be fine but if all the cyber security experts went away there’d be a big problem. The job is labour intensive, but one of them is much less important than the other.
