“YES IF YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL INDUSTRY YOU HAVE LESS OF A RIGHT TO STRIKE”
Entire thread on r/news is just the same sentiment of libs worried about their treats while the rest of America is already stuck in poverty and the world suffers already from American economic dominance.
edit for clarity.
Yes, if you are in a critical industry you have less of a right to strike.
don’t care + our problem is now your problem + physical ratio on the picket line
realist rational logical pragmatic enlightened beings when the utilitarianism is 99% hitler vs 100% hitler
realist rational logical pragmatic enlightened beings when the utilitarianism is hundreds of workers vs one guy who doesn’t want to pay them and maybe his buddies
The end result of this line of reasoning would be that slavery is best for all critical industries, because they are so important, therefore the people doing the work should have as few human rights as possible in order to keep The Economy flowing. I wonder how long before libs become openly pro-slavery?
Libs: supporting every strike except the current one, much like they oppose all wars except the current ones
Libs arguing against anything outside of their comfort zone: “Imagine if…”
cracker moment
should markets serve the people, or should people serve the market?
People are the marketthe most wretched of commodities
Wow, I knew the crackers would hit this point because its their treats on the line; but I didn’t think it’d happen that fast. It still took like three days for the lib recalcitrance to jump out when the rail workers did it; this feels like it was overnight.
It literally was. I’m honestly shocked. It’s like they didn’t even mull over any of the reasons why they’re striking; just immediate “OH NO MY TREATS”
[reverbing] “Not my sweets… Not my treats… D:”
I think a lot of people don’t get that a protest or strike is a demonstration of power in a negotiation. This is probably why liberals love the completely ineffectual go stand around in a park on a saturday afternoon permits in hand style of protest.
- oh no, it will crash the global economy
it’s called leverage, motherfucker. The ilwu shut down the west coast back around 9-11, life went on.it will crash the global economy
glances at the state of the global economy
Good?
I clicked on some of the main subreddits and the libs are insanely mad because “this might cause Kamala to lose the election”. Of course, when people respond with “would you support this strike if it was happening after the election” and they libs still said no anyway lol.

Ignore, replied to the wrong comment lmao. Also, why would the libs support anything that threatens their precious walmart?
Can’t wait for the most pro-labor administration to break this strike as well for the sake of the global economy
I saw some randos online saying that if an industry is too important for a strike it should be nationalized, so that was heartening.
if an industry is too important for a strike it should be nationalized
Liberals have no earthly idea what nationalization means or entails. I suspect they’d be perfectly happy with a PG&E or Fannie Mae relationship, wherein the enterprise is ostensibly managed by the state but so heavily privatized as to just be a continuous stream of bailouts for private investors.
Biden’s vanguard made from the Bidentariat of the longshoremen.
In all serious, yeah; some of them really are like “why are we against this”. Libs that have a shred of class consciousness. Let’s hope they grow.
Thomas Frank is the goat in this. If there’s any liberals you worry about them getting scratched, What’s The Matter With Kansas or Listen Liberal are both borderline gateway theory.
Never read any introductory gateway stuff for liberals. “Listen Liberal” is funny to me though, I’ll check it out!
Comparing dockworkers to doctors striking for 600k a year is so asinine.
In a matter of perspective, if the longshoremen strike and hospitals with the 600k a year doctors can’t perform surgeries without supplies; why aren’t the longshoremen getting a living wage and security guarantees?
I was a teenager arguing on 4chan and I came to this conclusion one time many many years ago. We were talking about how only a super special guy could find the cure for cancer and I was all “then why shouldn’t the entire team of researchers get a bunch of money? If the cancer doctor got billions and billions, why wouldn’t the suppliers charge them a shitload?”
It was a real proto-philosophy that led to my idea that we make a society focused on the betterment of people instead of enshittifying the finite Earth for the sake of the rate of profit.
Libs love nothing more than a chance to be strikebreakers
