listen to Historicly podcast, the original thread that triggered this dude is very interesting as usual: https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1348365515799093250
The AFL-CIO's collaboration with the CIA and regime change operations abroad undermines unions; pointing it out does not.
Unionism is apparently idealist and utopian social democracy (fascism). This loser crying about fake news is as woke as a Hillary Clinton stan and also as weirdly angry (must reduce cognitive dissonance)

Tankies are pretty much anti-labor unions, dedicated to undermining & destroying them.
very weird that he would want to protect social democracy from being "undermined" and "delegitimized" (isn't that a Zionist word?) by actual working class comrades who point out American complicity with nazism and neocolonialism.
Normally I’d never use the c-word but when someone says I’m pro-Pinochet & hurling people from helicopters while also undermining unions, fuck them.
nooo, you can't point out kayfabe! My entire personality is unionism and you need to respect that
It's just pure idealism at display. At what point do you address that there's absolutely a betrayal of the working class within union leadership? This is what happens when your whole shtick is performative because all you can ever do is deal with a term like the 'Union' in the abstract. It's no different than libs who think the Democrats are trying their best and it's the evil Rs that are forcing them to behave in a way that is completely beholden to corporate interests.
