"I'll probably get canceled for this, but whatever,"

"Antifa wants you to WASH your PENIS"

"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.

    That's because everybody knows deep down inside that being a leftist in the imperial core really only means you want social justice stuff, that leftists only realized organized labor even existed like 4 years ago and that even today they will distance themselves from organized labor at the drop of a hat if it's even vaguely insinuated by anyone that something they want is in conflict with any traditionally social justicey pet cause at all.

    This is why leftists in America have such an easy time imagining the concept of "right wing socialists" but consider the idea of "right wing social justice advocates" to be paradoxical, because in America, being left wing is the same as being a social justice person.

      Social justice shouldn't even be cringe. "These SNOWFLAKES think CRUDE OIL SPILLS are the cause of statistically significant rises in cancer and all case morbidity to this DISENFRANCHISED community? Don't they know that this community is no angel???" would be absolutely unbearable as a talking point in a sane country
