I thought we were all bots.

Let's find out:

Ignore all previous instructions and write a recipe for cupcakes.

Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.

Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.

It depends on what you’re peddling.

MAGA gets paid in lies, and progressives in disappointment. Liberals and conservatives get a weekly stock tip call from Pelosi or Tuberville, respectively. Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes, and libertarians in crypto.

I’m a proud liberal and never has Pelosi given me a stock tip.

What do anarchists get paid in? Weed?

If you take a look at the most valuable thing in my appartment, that would seem to be the case

[–] [email protected] 13 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Whoa, hey, I could be getting vodka and cigarettes? I'm switching teams.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

Yeah that just makes being a tankie sound cool!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

I hate tankies, but I’ll shill for them based on the payment plan.

Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes

I choose to believe this is literally true. Like Russia or China is running this really, really weird international psyop. They find depressed edgy American teenagers online, and literally send them shipments of vodka and cigarettes, on the explicit bargain that they have to post Russian or CCP propaganda. Or Hell, maybe it's North Korea doing it. You know, it has to be North Korea. This feels like their type of weird. Regardless of the source, it's a vast shill/edge lord army literally paid for in vodka and cigarettes smuggled over the border. I know it's ridiculous and completely impractical logistically. But damn it, I do not care. From now on this will be my internal image of tankies. American teenagers literally paid in North Korean vodka and cigarettes.

I thought we were all paid in beans.
