Oh golly gee I love being a wageslave, this is a great opportunity, I will work overtime for free master and never ever complain!
literally what this bs advocates
He's not wrong
He comes off as a knobstick, but pragmatically he's correct. If you're a door mat who doesn't make noise about labor or safety regulations you'll do better than a you that did.
Him being a millionaire doesn't mean he hasn't had to work before, and anyone else that has knows cocksucking crooks prefer people who work for free with their heads down.

>>29297413
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I can't stand this smug asshole.
This douche does "dirty jobs" occasionally for a day for maybe a few months out of the year while he's filming his show. It's very easy for him to push this "salt of the earth" crap where we should be "honored" to work at fucking McDonalds and strive to be the best burger flipper there is. If he were actually doing the jobs from his show like working with literal shit for 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year (if he's lucky enough to get that much time off), he'd be singing a different tune.
This is just like when rich celebrities who live in mansions with private security try to push socialism and "equality" on poor people, except now it's a rich celebrity telling us to just "shut up and just devote yer life to diggin' them ditches cuz that's what makes a good manly Murrikan!" How do people honestly fall for this shit?

Mike Rowe gets to narrate shows about crab fishermen in the bearing straight while he is in a comfy studio. He gets to dick around making his dirty jobs show, trying out these dogshit jobs a couple of hours at a time before he goes home to his mansion while leaving the poor wagecucks to continue their pained existence.
Fuck him.
>>29298214
Mike Rowe made his money though and he respects the common man working shitty jobs. many of those dogshit jobs pay more than what bachelors degree holders are making.
>>29297413
It sounds good, but we all know it's just long hand for "pay the working class fuck all". Americans need to understand you can't just assault rifle away your problems.
>>29298214
I don't much like Rowe or agree with his ideas as well, but to be fair to him he doesn't live in a mansion he has lived in his same apartment for 14 years last time I checked.
But yeah, fuck him.

This would probably improve the average NEETs life more than it would the normies
>>29298427
Assuming they'd surrvive the harsh labour jobs sure
>>29298251
I would rather make 60k a year at a nice office job where I'm on salary the schedule is more loose than make 70k at one of those shit jobs where I have to wake up at 5:30am every day and punch a timeclock where I HAVE to work exactly 7:00-3:30 (at least) and would probably be fired for calling in sick more than once in a blue moon.
>inb4 "b-b-but that shitty work makes a you a 'manly man' and you will be in shape and all the girls will want you!"
Someone always replies with this bullshit but it's not true at all. I've worked several blue collar jobs. Most of the guys are not in shape. Most are overweight from drinking lots of cheap beer and eating shitty, fattening food.
>>29298127
The unhealthy obsession with "muh hard work" and money/consumerism is a big part of the reason that things got so shitty over here.
>>29297413
It's like a robber baron's wet dream.
>>29298440
Another thing about blue collar work, why does it have to be "hard labor"?
In every blue collar job I had, except for a temporary public works position (which was actually nice because it was for a municipality AND I worked with union guys), everyone was always obsessed with moving really fast and "pushing themselves." Fast to the point that you're totally exhausted at the end of the day. All so that the wealthy guy at the top could get his money a few days or a week earlier and everyone could talk about how hard they work and how early they wake up during lunch break.
The millionaire builders would often request that guys work Saturdays as well, because they couldn't bear the thought of getting the big check at the end of the month versus the middle of the month.
There is no reason to work fast. You can work at a moderate pace, and then have energy to actually live your life. I guess this goes back to the American attitude of "live to work."
>>29297413
Anybody ever notice how this guy has a tiny hand? Really throws me off.
>>29297413
Are you ready to take the classcuck pledge? Your boss really wants that new yacht you know!
>>29298874
Blue collar workers work for a wage, not a salary. The more they work, the more they get paid. If they don't want to listen to their boss there are some migrant workers around the corner who will work for cheaper and without the lip service
>>29299208
Most of the blue collar workers I know and work with are salaried. "Blue collar" doesn't have anything to do with hourly vs. set salary unless you're a temp/seasonal or a migrant worker.
>library cards are free
not where I live fucker
>>29297413
He has a lot of fucking nerve to have been born that good looking, with a perfect voice, and to have stumbled into having a TV show by pure luck.
One of those people who's given everything for free but pretends it was all hard work. If he'd been put through what I have, he'd probably have killed himself by now.
>>29299258
not only that, by his own reasoning wouldn't accepting free library cards be accepting hand-outs?
>>29297413
10, 11, and 12 are contradictory
It pisses me off so much that people like him don't take into account things like being bullied your entire life to the point that you're burnt out and psychologically traumatized.
This is such an oversimplified view of life. This is the kind of thing people with good genes and good upbringings say in order to not feel guilty about all the energy and bodily resources they were given for free.
If they can convince themselves that everything comes from "hard work" and that poor, weak people are just lazy, then they can escape from feeling guilt and responsibility.
I just hate that people getting free rides like him can believe they earned it
>>29297413
All people are born equal is a lie. We all have mutations. Some are born missing a leg. Some are born with more efficient brains.

>I am a product of my choices

>All people are created equal
There's no such thing as luck
This isn't even coherent. If anything, seeing someone this stupid be successful is a clear sign that life is entirely luck.
>>29298132
This. He's blind to his own luck and thinks he built it with his bare hands. I have an old-money friend who thinks just like this.
>>29299668
>>29299442
Some people ITT said he is legit, so out of curiosity I checked his Wikipedia page. The "salt of the earth" blue collar guy who made it big through "hard work" is an act.
The guy went to college for communications, was an opera singer, a TV announcer and an actor. His entire career has been in show business.
Just another celebrity bullshit artist with a "do as I say not as I do" attitude towards the average Joe.
>>29298132

If we achieved post-scarcity, this kind of asshole would insist that we empty and fill sandbags for 40 hours a week.

Everyone's got their own beliefs. His is hard work and integrity. Is that so bad? He admires people who decide to get into the muck and do the work that others won't. Its not fun, its not well-paid always, its not something you WANT to do, its whats necessary. It's something a generation like ours doesn't understand because labor regulations are common but that doesn't mean people still don't die everyday just doing dangerous jobs to make a living.
>happy wage slave
No, thats a huge derivation from what he actually believes. Its about being responsible and not complaining about your situation, and making things work for you.
Most people out in the world now are operating by these principles because they don't have neetbux to fall back on. From a liberal, unresponsible standpoint the government will fly in on wings of taxes of from the evil superrich and support you for life.
That is a fantasy and doesn't exist. The way they are expanding it, they fully intend to cause a 'crisis' where they need to keep adding hidden taxes that will hurt the poor the most just to keep these programs alive.
I know most of you will disagree with me completely but try to at least consider that its not about being submissive, its about being realistic and responsible. At least in the believers eyes.
>>29300645
Communism won't happen until everything is automated, I'll just make tendies when that happens. Marx's predictions were generally right but his conception of communism's arrival and nature were wrong imo.
>>29303241
>If you cannot do better, your situation is not bad.
That's right wagekek, everything is fine, just carry on.
>>29303311
It's not 'do better'.
It's 'you want to do better'.
Living for a wage is how the world works anon, don't shy away from it. If you're disabled, then you don't get to play, its that simple.
>>29297906
becuase you would DIE without the help of others.
I really like the concept of working as hard as you can to better yourself and improving your lot in life, but Rowe infuses it with a shitty working class version of objectivism despite being a rich television host. No, many people aren't the product of their decisions. I'm lucky, I've had the chance to make my own chances, but many people haven't.
Also most blue-collar jobs are excruciating and plain shitty. Someone has to, and I have immense respect for those who do, but I'd work very hard and very smart in order to make sure I wouldn't be a bricklayer or something of that nature. It breaks you down.
>>29297413
Mike Rowe is such a fucking faggot.
>there are no bad jobs
ok
>>29304309
It's not just that, but sometimes it simply isn't warranted to bust your ass extra so your boss can make more profit, particularly if you are underpaid. A job is not a favor, it's a bilateral agreement between employer and employee. I'll do the work I'm paid to do.
The bit on education and debt is fucking retarded as well. You can't get an education to go and be a pharmacist or lawyer using your "library card", you literally have to pay six figures for professional education/certifications because of gatekeeper professional organizations (Bar association, AMS, etc).
And the reason we go into debt to go to school is because for professions with great outlook (medicine, etc), it's a smart decision-- it increases your lifetime earning potential borrowing and getting the education now, rather than saving nickels and dimes working some shit dirty job.
>>29297413
While I disagree from a logical point of view what he says. I see nothing else wrong with the pledge. He's not promoting senseless slavelabour. He's simply promoting a pratical mindset and piratical solutions to the rigors of day to day life.
Whining is generally pathetic. The only things you have the right to complain about are things that you can't fix or at least alleviate in some way.
You have to be pretty pathetic to have serious problems with these.

Mike Rowe is a MANLET. I saw him in Charleston, SC with cameras and a boom mic around him, probably doing dirty jobs. He was short as fuck.
>>29304750
They've worked out very well for me. I've only seen this today but I've been unconsciously following them my entire life and now I'm being under the highest income tax in my country (UK), in other words, I'm very well off and am free to peruse my hobbies and interests with relative ease while working a flexible job that I enjoy.
I came from a relatively poor family. My father broke every rule on the list and he spent the majority of his adulthood being a depressed single NEET. It was only after I told him to sort his fucking life out did he at least become the manager of a local supermarket. My mom on the other hand worked a job she hated, was hated and disowned by both of her families, and had to raise a severely autistic child who (eventually died of a seizure) with a random alcoholic who beat her. During all of this she managed to get a Ph.D and wrote 7 books dedicated to a cause she believed in.
I'm sorry. But it is really quite strange to me that so many people would blame their failings on the outside world. It never failed to occur to me as a child that there was always something I could do, always a variable that I could tweak or a situation I could move into, it was just intuitive to me. Even if someone tried to ruin something for me, I would curse myself for not foreseeing it, and eventually nothing could interfere with my plan. I always had a backup plan and everything went right.
Complaining about the world achieves nothing. Even if you hate the system and the way it works you have no excuse not to everything in your power to escape from it or manipulate it as much as you can. This philosophy is about taking action. Not mindlessly conforming to societies unwritten rules (which is exactly what I'm presuming you're doing).
>>29297413

The UK has some of the worst social mobility in the western world, of all the countries to use an example ours is not the one, theres a lot of class barriers that can get in the way of success here.
I don't mind working, but when a rich celebrity tells me I should be honored to suck my boss's dick, it makes me retarded angry.

>>29305303
Really? Are you sure?
Well, even if the class mobility is bad here which I don't think it is, then that just makes what I said even more important.
>>29303301
As far as I recall, he estimated that communism would arise among educated and empowered working classes in developed countries, which it basically has; socialism is in force among advanced countries with strong labor movements, and will probably become stronger still in the near future unless it's strangled by fears of immigrants.
What I'm sure he didn't expect is that someone would try to force a move to communism in mostly agrarian countries and that it would morph into authoritarianism.
