I keep seeing more and more comments defending corporations, police, “moderate” politics etc, and arguing against social welfare, living wages, unions, etc. There’s been a pretty sudden influx of comments that overtly discourage voting for Biden, pushing third parties, and/or discouraging voting. I can’t help but question their authenticity.
It’s not that it’s implausible for people to be disillusioned with US elections, or to want independent candidates. But they still aren’t exactly prevailing opinions. So when a bunch of similar comments show up suddenly in every post about US politics…sorry I’m not buying it, and no one else should either. We all know by now how social media has been used to influence elections.
But the anti-union shit is part of it. It’s always like “I believe in workers’ rights, but…” And who tf are the anti-shoplifting people? Defending huge corporations for forcing workers to wear cameras and add the additional job of “security guard” to their min wage workload, while constantly having to justify their own innocence? I can’t even comprehend defending that. But apparently people enjoy standing up for all the poor wittle multinational conglomerates so thoughtlessly abused by workers and customers. Think of the poor, poor corporations!
Who tf is out there thinking “damn, those poor auto companies 😢”
Bootlickers
I ain’t one to kink-shame but it really disgusts me to how they deepthroat the boot at any given moment.
Apparently plenty of people on lemmy?
