"In this political climate, you can't even"

They are so afraid, that they're compared to a political party capable of killing millions (a specific obscure one from the late 1930s, early 1940s). The only people they fear to that extent is usually the DPRK. All I'm saying is that I don't remember the last time a politician mentioned organized labor, but there's a shit ton of fear regarding the blue haired college student. Organizers might want to consider this underutilized resource as a medusa's head against opponents of labor.

    Gonna be real hard to do when they don't understand what a working class person is. In their view, the blue-haired Starbuck's barista taking home minimum wage, or the kid at Wholefoods packing groceries, or public school teachers are not working class. Only blue-collar types can be working class, because only those forms of labor count as "work". Dehumanizing yourself for 12 hours a day, six days a week isn't work unless you get a callous on your hands from working outside. Ironically, it's those blue-collar physical labor jobs that tend to be the most unionized and thus have less to demand. Of course, the validity of all the backbreaking physical labor in the world gets instantly thrown out the window if it's perormed by an illegal immigrant under near-slavery to pay off transport debts to be smuggled into the US.

    What's that? Contradictions? Nawww

        Alabama did the same. They do this shit all the time. The Mexican people, and the many Central Americans who are confused for Mexicans, have been utterly dehumanized by America to the point where we will pay people pennies to risk arrest and deportation just so we can have some fucking peaches
