Fear of covid is a bourgeois privilege. "Stay home; save lives" means "I'm privileged so I can work from home and still make money. I hereby transfer burden of herd immunity to the workers & peasants who deliver my food and keep society functioning while I luxuriate in my personal digital utopia."

Don't worry, your loyal bureaucrats already have a plan for erasing those evil bourgeois from the face of the Earth. And this plan is already set in motion.

Trust me working from home isn't a privilege.

Yes it is. If you actually like venturing out into traffic every day to go wage cuck at an uncomfortable office with shitty equipment and people spying on you all day then you’ve got a screw loose.

You think working a box room with shitty equipment and people ringing you up and screaming at you because they can't just glance over an see what you're up to is better?

My mailbox has been full for three years.

I don’t work in a “box room” and I have a gaming PC and fiber connection that is better than any business I’ve ever worked for. More comfortable mouse, more comfortable keyboard, and I don’t sit at a desk. I sit in a recliner and use a huge 4K TV as my monitor. I can fuck off and do whatever I want when I have downtime instead of pretending to be busy.

It is better in every conceivable way.

Both types of working can be, and most likely are, wage slavery. Working from home can be the most soul-crushing experience. Devaluing any worker's labor and suffering is not conducive of camaraderie.

The left in general doesn't care about the poor. They just care about their crusade of the day. 13 months ago it was climate change, now it's covid. They don't care in the least that people are dying of anything but covid. They don't care in the least about selling our grandkids into slavery. All they care about is the one thing they're entitled to be outraged about this hour.

Don't blame the people who work from home. Blame the politicians who mandate closures, curfews, and tyrannical "safety measures".
