but what does a person's educational backround have todo with the nature of work? and its not like people with good Bootstraps backrounds cant work there?
sorry im going all over its just wild to encounter genuinely confusing political currents, i try to understand & parse as best i can
They have a CHUD hatred of stereotypical "woke college student baristas" "playing the victim" and are using it as an excuse to dismiss a real unionization drive, by cloaking it with "sympathy" for Third World agricultural workers
Their culture war-driven hatreds have trumped the principle of solidarity and reveals their true politics
American culture wars make no sense and these broscialist weirdos are just amplifying it. There's a stereotype that Starbucks baristas are highly educated, yet unwilling to do "real work" like construction, manufacturing, or agriculture. The average chud will believe a pool supply company owner who drives an expensive Ford truck is more working class than a Starbucks barista with blue hair who lives in a large city.
It makes no sense at all and is some kind of aesthetics battle. The easiest way for me to frame it is just white patriarchal heteronormativity. Some jobs are manly, some jobs are gay. If you work around dirt and lift things, then you're manly and straight and cool. If you have a gay liberal arts degree and do gay things like make coffee, then you're gay and you don't have a real job. That's honestly as far as it goes for the average American.
