No, I assumed you were a government employee who got fired by doge. Was I mistaken?

[–] kivork@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think people on hexbear would not want to "defend the constitution" or be an "asset" to the most evil empire in history. It sucks to lose a job and a likely relatively stable one, but I think it comes off as sarcastic because this is a leftist site- I would guess lussy has no alegience to the constitution or the country.

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Yeah, like a "no oath sworn to an employer is valid" kind of thing

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh, I was just trying to identify with them. Good point, though. I don't know why every person chooses to work a government job.

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

Usually for a paycheck and health care

Thanks for the warmth. I do find the mission towards the people a more motivating factor but i have no allegiance to the constitution.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

That's been my motivating factor, as well. I'm proud of being in a position where I can help. But the pay and benefits are nice, too.
