It’s a predictable and unfortunately sad turn of events. I have serious doubts you’ll ever be able to unionize again. There’s stronger union protections in other countries and nothing seems to work in building new unions. They continue to be in decline globally with only the most legacy and privileged unions surviving. People don’t believe in unions as an effective mechanism to level the playing field and in most cases see them a bureaucratic obstacle to their career advancement.

because, imo, unions post ww2, gradually and then in the 70s extremely rapidly, gave up being antagonistic to capital and adopted policies of working with capital for the benefit of the workers. capital of course just went "lol yeah we'll work with you" and proceeded to strangle the unions who had abandoned any pretense of fighting back. then reagan broke the back of PATCO as a lesson to any union that still harbored notions of militarism

If you wanted an explanation as to what happened to Majorian


He got de-IK'd despite D&D mods thinking he was a good IK because USPOL didn't like him.

That's lame and disappointing.

Having followed some QCS threads, the whole problem appears to be a small cluster of D&D posters with poor mental health who revel in the drama/toxicity. It's some Tumblr poo poo.

Instead of being catered to, these people should be getting mental health breaks from the forums.

It's the same clique that hangs out in discord all day with the mods and have a channel for bitching about forum drama and demanding the mods punish their posting enemies, so when you think about it it's a perfect microcosm of your typical liberal power structure

also people underestimate the damage organized crime did (on behalf of capital and the state) starting in ww2. organized crime controlled unions would start strikes to bankrupt unions, break strikes for unions they didn’t control, help organize blacklists, etc all while in active coordination with management

they don't actually though but desperately want to convince themselves this is the case, which is why you can watch them (here, in the media, on any social network, etc) go completely insane in real time

I mean how quickly did our own beloved debate forum go from "look I don't like him either but this is a tough question of harm reduction" to "honestly he's the best president we've ever ever had and what really is lying when you really think about it?"

The problem isn’t the military, the problem is the lack of spending and laws in other parts of our society. The only changes that should be made is the oversight of spending and empowering faster and harsher punishments to corrupt contracts and the underperformance and speed of acquisition of equipment received. You have no idea what being the world power gets us in regards to safety and the depth that the entire worlds monetary policies depend on it for stability. The amount of minorities who are able to get good wages, education, healthcare vs what they could in our racist civilian market.

No fukn way. Like we've said for years that this needs to happen but yet again I never thought Biden of all presidents would do it. I know forming a Commission does not necessarily mean action but it's a necessary first step, which is more than I expected.

I wonder how much of this change in his tune since the election is from being pissed off about 1/6. Maybe it's some sort of bias on my part but that really seems to be when he started shifting left.
