Pissflaps posted:I don't think we should encourage a race to the bottom like this. Let's not ask each other to work under worse conditions, instead demand that conditions are improved for all. That is correct, my point was that a lunch break should not be taken for granted as it's not guaranteed. One of the great victories of the working class struggle was to grant the right to leisure time.

forkboy84 posted:I dunno, one time when I worked in a call centre I went to meet someone during my lunch hour. And before I knew it I was an hour late back. Nobody even noticed, which was nice. Back in my day if you so much as spoke at less than 80 words per minute they'd beat you 'til you got back up to speed. Audible pain would lead to harsher beatings until morale improved, etc. etc.

TinTower posted:The mental hurdles people are jumping over to excuse Corbyn literally voting for a hard Tory Brexit reminds me of that "irregular verbs" joke in Yes Minister: I respect the government's mandate, you prop up an unpopular government, he is a yellow Tory. Considering this can all trace back to Cleggo the Clown's hilarious trade-off of giving the Tories free reign for five years in exchange for a hobbled referendum, you really have no leg to stand on here.

jBrereton posted:If you're trying to claim that the promised preconditions for "no" were not a factor in unionists somehow not snatching defeat from the jaws of victory I don't know what to say. This is an absurd interpretation of my post. The ScotRef was whether Scotland would become independent. It voted to remain in the UK, which the government honoured. The conditions in which it stayed were not at any point part of the referendum itself, merely a promise from a serial liar that he totally (wink wink) will (nudge nudge) honour his word. The government if anything doubled down on the result by not even offering the concessions it promised in the 11th hour.

Maybe I'm not up on the latest political meme culture If anything he was mocking the thread's inward thinking as tacitly national-socialist without admitting that it only cares about socialism in one country. In particular he opened with "glad to find a thread of fellow Strasserites" or something to the effect when he first started poasting in here.

MikeCrotch posted:The thing that's really getting to me from the Moral Remainer side is both the complete lack of nuance or compromise from the position and the total absence of any kind of plan to get concessions from the Tories. That's the problem, really. I'm fine with us remaining after all, but short of a political coup it's basically impossible at this point. Instead of shouting loudly to remain it'd be more useful to shout for the softest possible leave. Like hell, remaining in the single market would remove like 90% of concerns of the Remain side.
