they're paid not to at best and think a mixture of race science and the lower classes just being lazy is the problem at worst

or flip those around because both are awful hate filled mindsets to have, just one is pure self-protecting nihilism and the other is actually believing in fascism

Thank god my dad is in a union so I know where I can thank all my existence and standard of living from since he sure as poo poo would not be doing as well as a non union insulator. Funny how all his friends make fun of him for being in a union though.

In a culture that worships social darwinism, acknowledging privilege is akin to admitting you are an impostor who does not deserve a decent life. I'm sure if I was a trust fund Harvard grad raised by type A psychos I too would be champing at the bit to write Op Eds rationalizing my privilege.

Successful anti-union efforts rely on thuggish intimidation because actual arguments against unionization are just that weak. Like how the chairman at Slate recently argued against a writers' union as "not being Slate-y" or some such nonsense.

Your boss arguing that you don't need a union is like a cop arguing that you don't need a lawyer.

We won't even let people in other countries unionize, it's absolutely crazy (and disgusting). If it's a poor enough country that we can manipulate, we'll straight up just hire government thugs to gun down unionizing workers i.e. basically all of central/south America.

that's how we used to do things here, and if any mass unionization push among lower wage workers looks like it has an actual chance of succeeding you'll see it again

Considering who owns Pinkerton now, I really wouldn't worry about it. Besides, they'll probably use whatever Blackwater is called nowadays instead.

Nina Turner and a crowd of Our Revolution supporters went to the DNC to deliver petitions. They were not allowed to enter, but offered donuts and water while they stood around outside barricades. Turner characterized this as arrogant and insulting.

Of course, this has become Liberal Twitter's best lamest meme since Manbun Ken.
