I’ve been thinking about trying to pull together a union at my workplace for a while, but too many coworkers trying to get into fights or rat each other out to management, so screw Unioning that. If nothing else I don’t have the emotional stability to try to unionize my workplace.

While I was brooding at home after work (ruining the rest of my day) I realize that this whole thing is a really optimal scenario for the boss. In fact if I was a boss, I’d specifically try to hire aggressive-ish employees.

What do socialist countries do about this? It’s not like they lock up all their aggressive coworkers the way America tries to. In America we lock up a lot of people but then they’re still lots of aggressive people.

    It has mostly to do with cult like mentality that has been on the culture since the first time a religion got side to side with an state. If you lool closely, the bourgeoisie is defending teeth and nails the supposed freedom of religion because it do really does a good job of concealing any bit of critical thinking. And the bougies learnt to do the same with a cultist mentality regarding idealism, patriotism, nationalism, identity, individualism, and more, the same way the nobility did in their own context.

    It has to do a lot with propaganda, aka: indoctrination.

      Shouldnt the bourgeosis have errected figures who are actually bougy simps? Like jesus is a man, which i guess means the boug got their prefered genitals. But he’s literally left af.

      Like shouldnt they have made like wario or scouge mcduck their jesus figure instead?

      Actually the rightwing movement to basically rightwingerify the bible, have qanon be a neo religion, having trump be their prophet is in lines with what i think their optimal strategy would be, but the bougy arent seriously pushing for those.
