>Is every employer that has a single employee earning more money than the federal or local government mandates that they should socialist?
No. That's not what I axed. You take issue with free trade agreements that help companies get access to cheaper labor so they can offer their products at more competitive prices. You support Mexican laborers unionizing and making $15/hr wages when their living wage is probably a few dollars. You support government policies and taxes on businesses to punish them for taking advantage of cheap labor opportunities. This is all socialism memes.
> Was your dad's employer a socialist for paying him enough that you can live the carefree lifestyle you do now?
My dad was in private practice. Self-employed. Although he did do a lot of advising for a bunch of Think Tanks and was contracted by the Kochs for a while as an advisor. His background in behavioral psychology and using neurofeedback software to train people's cognition was being actively sought out after 2008, when the Republicans got blindsided by the effectiveness of social media. So in that instance his employers were "Libertarian" corporatists that microtarget their followers with psychological manipulation and abuse to keep them compliant and committed to supporting policies against their own interests.
>Voluntary unions aren't socialism, either.
No they kind of fundamentally always are "socialism."
>Well under 4% of workers make the federal minimum wage or below
Yeah and cost of living is still twice as high as living wage in most places. People making $8.50 or $10 are still often pretty far away from making a living wage. Stack that on top of companies limiting hours to avoid insuring people, and you end up with millions of people spending all of their time working multiple jobs just to keep up.

thats another one where you can see how the combination of watered down acrylic with course canvas texture creates that kind of grainy look where the pigment is really captured by the texture of the canvas.

Like I kind of like exposed canvas and painting on harsh textures, but I got a lot of shit for it when I was doing it last year.

maybe I'll make part of muh 2019 meme rules that I'll start reporting people they're clearly engaging in a community vendetta, trolling outside of /b/, or rude or offensive comments, with no intention to engage in good faith or participate in the thread.

Yeah I think I will meow. Likely will literally do nothing on account of the jannies only checking the reports once a week or whatever. But yeah I think I'll probably start reporting purposeless ad hominem cockfighting meow. Particularly if the banter is as retarded and boring as >>3746531 this fucking turbovirgin.

New Year New (You)! Get ready to unplug your router for a few minutes cause here come that ban hammer bb!

>So you obsess about seeking out ANYTHING that lets you feel like you're "better than." This is something that pathetic people do.
You do. What you're doing isn't an argument. Making appeals to hypocrisy and trying to do all this "gotcha" shit is what you do when you're upset and you want to "win" something but you don't actually have an argument. You're just being a buttblasted bitch.
>calls people /beg/ in the very same post
You clearly are though. The porn animator is 19 and has been drawing for a year. The Norman Rockwell fag is still doing Norman Rockwell sketchbook exercises. That makes you /beg/.
>to feel better about a decade of no progress
I mean it's just a fucking statement of reality. It doesn't make me feel better about anything. Talking to both of you mostly just makes me sad about you and the mental illness that you're going to be dealing with forever.
>Unironically low IQ coming through.
NIce meme. i think it's interesting that people that buy into the IQ meme are often pretty fucking dumb. What'd you like get a 100 on an online IQ test and you think you got a perfect score or something?

>wait so this guy traces a mag cutout
I mean they were images edited in photoshop to increase saturation and stuff, printed out, and transferred to canvas using graphite transfer. Year one was "tracing." Year two has been grids. Going forward it'll be looking at using projection as well as increasingly more hand drawn to canvas memes.

You can see a whole bunch of tracing during the reflektor segment starting at like 29:40 or so in the year one timelapse video. https://youtu.be/45GkUiuRmjM?t=1781

It was definitely a good way to get a bunch of canvasses prepped in a short amount of time, so that I could jump around between like a dozen paintings when I'd get a good color. Most everything after ~150 hasn't been graphite transferred.

sounds like a lot of desperate justification from a digimon fag.

Digital is always easier. You can undo, there's no such thing as a dirty brush, you select colors by sliding or clicking on a spectrum. There's no relative canvas quality. You can zoom in. idk it's endless.

Digital is easier by literally every standard. Yeah they are "different things and have different learning curves in different applications," but digital is still easier.
