Comment on it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know

The government is legally authorized to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, and even your life in extremis. Your boss can’t do any of that and if they try the government should stop them.

there was just a work email put out where I work about how employees shouldn’t be going to the bathroom super often and if they are in the bathroom they should only be doing bathroom things.

I can’t report them for that but it is fucking extreme and dehumanizing. To be policed in the bathroom. Because company time is more important than bodily functions. Or whatever other reason someone might be in the bathroom.

I get this sucks but you can quit your job and walk away from your employer, theoretically.

If the government decides to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, or your life, you can’t walk away from it and find a new government.

Your boss and your government are just totally different.

  Yeah and be homeless.
  
  And I don’t participate in government shit unless I have to like taxes cause they’ll come for me if I don’t pay for them kind of thing.

    I mean that’s the difference right there, right? If you quit your job, you’re homeless. If you don’t pay taxes, you’re arrested.
