    It’s also the agreed upon method we came up with for resolving disputes without beating factory owners to death in front of their kids as the meme the other day mentioned

      I genuinely worry about massive eruptions of violence. Why doesn’t the upper class realize that if they keep pushing, keep taking more and more and more, one day shit is just going to break down.

        Because they’ve spent a century brainwashing a majority of the workforce into believing unions are evil communist cults designed to teach people to eat babies.

        Don’t let rhetoric in communities like this fool you into thinking most people want to rise up against their oppressors. Theres a reason Republicans have as much support as they do.

          Every last one of these people has a name and an address. They’d rather us fight each other while their collared armed guards protect their bunkers than us fix the world. They want fascism so they can plunder a bit more before they go into their bunker. 7 billion human bodies don’t contain enough blood to sate their hunger.

        Because they all believe they can hold that off for the next generation to deal with. They don’t think it’ll happen now.

        I think general strikes like those seen in 1919 might come first.

    Source is George Takei on Mastodon, and there’s a lot of discussion there too. I didn’t know Spock Hand Emoji 🖖🏽 was a thing, but here it is.

    Strikes are a valid free market solution to a free market problem. Don’t like it? Then drop the laissez-faire shit and don’t let employers screw over their workers in the first place.

      It bugs me that you can’t make instance agnostic links to posts yet.

      Instead, here is (I hope) an instance agnostic link to his profile /u/Georgetakei@universeodon.com

          The needs of the federation outweigh the needs of the instance.

          Or something.

        Here you go

        ‪Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance.‬ https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/110735742133200337

    Why are the work reformists teamed up with the anti workers? If the work gets reformed, then the workers would be happier and do more work.
