    That’s a really cool point, is there a source to back it up? I don’t take my views from Twitter screenshots.

      Union membership peaked in the 1950s at one-third of the workforce. At that time, despite pervasive racial and gender discrimination, overall income inequality was close to its lowest level since its peak before the Great Depression, and was continuing to fall.

      Don’t take your views from anything here. Even with sources.

        Why would I not let something that is well sourced influence my views? What is your issue with here?

          Because everyone here is a degenerate. Myself included. Bias is everywhere, a single, or even a collection of sources is a porthole on a topic. Lemmy is for memes, not facts. No social media is for facts. I’m a liar and so are you. So are they.

            Friend, nobody seeing or commenting on a pro-union post is a caviar-munching degenerate. While I know social media is prone to bias and misinformation by nature, that doesn’t necessarily mean everything is a lie. Can we not find factual information just because we happen to be on a website with commentary?

              Every single post/comment here should be seen as if from an unreliable narrator.
