    So we should vaguely angry at a concept, but never at specific organizations that are a part of the class structure that upholds said concept? Not even when they’re involved in an ongoing labor negotiation+strike?

    obv the point isnt “wow netflix is a bad apple but capitalism is the best system we have” it’s more “netflix is bad just like every other corporation, they all exploit the working class, solidarity to the striking actors writers, etc”

      The “class structure” you mention is also, in this case, an effect of capitalism.

      But yes, I guess we agree? I don’t really understand the point of calling out Netflix instead of the head of the snake though, if the goal is the same, as you suggest. That’s really my only point.

      There will be an endless number of these situations until we, as a society, focus on the head of the snake. If we focus on all the individual companies first, nothing changes. There will always be more companies. It’s divide and conquer.

        on second glance I think we do agree, sorry if that came off too aggro. I don’t think this post is meaningfully overfocusing on netflix though. zooming in on an ongoing labor struggle doesnt inherently distract/detract from larger class conflict IMO

          Perhaps not! But yeah, I also agree with your point about the labor struggle.
