What do these nerds think a strike is supposed to be, anyway? Do they think the bosses are going to look at workers striking in winter and go "damn they look pretty cold, guess I change my mind."
liberals think strikes are when you go take a walk with a group of like-minded mealy-mouthed liberals on the sidewalks while waving witty signs with harry potter puns to illustrate why you're upset with whatever it is you're upset at, finish up after snapping some pics to show how powerful your movement was, then packing up and going back to brunch after solving the primary contradiction.
Can also be applied to protests.
Its incredibly sad how pervasive this view is in the West. I have broader tinfoil theories as to why...but it's sad, cause unless something changes we won't see the necessary actions to improve anything anytime soon.
Well, when they used to go harder they got literally killed for it. The George Floyd protests burning down cop shops was cool but that's about as far as they're willing to let people go, but even then they might kill you years later like they did to the Ferguson BLM organizers.
We killed a million + during to keep the economy going. It's about time the economy started giving back.
If the like 75 thousand rail workers going on strike will end up making life worse for 350 million people, most of which are workers, isn’t it more pro worker to be on the side of the 350 million?

Vulgar utilitarianism is a one of the worst workers philosophies in the world. Almost as stagnant as stoicism.
It isn't even utilitarian in a grand sense. This is purely a short-sighted consumerist perspective. Grinding these workers down isn't good for the long term health of rail transit. Delaying labor action another month won't do anything to defuse the conflict between rail workers and management. What's more, nothing in this legislation actually forces workers back to the job. All you're doing is cocking a gun and pointing at a contract.
While it is exceptionally vulgar, there is nothing utilitarian about management doing divide-and-conquer shit until the workforce is worn down to a nub.
Listen, we live in a Utopia. You're talking about one little child trapped in a room in Omelas and we all know why that kid needs to be there. Are you really just going to walk away from all this?
Oh my fucking god could these people at least pretend to be on the left on a single issue? There's a reason the song is called "Which side are you on!?"
You have the right to strike, as long as you don't actually have leverage.
Incredible that these pedo loving worms call themselves "leftists" and get away with it
Maybe the day will come when people are judged by the content of their character and not the brand of American consumer politics they assert they are.
Love how Biden's Thanksgiving table topics of "successes" includes: WORKED WITH REPUBLICANS TO REBUILD AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE
Investing in passenger rail and public transit
The crossover between Vosh followers and the people who buy borderline paedo weeb shit is strong - of course they're gonna complain when they can't get their hyper-realistic swimsuit schoolgirl dolls.
okay, i relent, we need to bully these people mercilessly
Fuck all of these people and fuck "breadtube" too. These fucking assholes want some useless, impotent vision of socialism without any of the hardship or sacrifice it takes to even get capitalism out of the door. Yes, you might have to suffer a lack of treats, you fucking mongrels.
