This is genuinely horrible, not just for libs. Even if they don't have the guts or discipline to repeal Roe v. Wade, there is a very strong possibility (like >50%) that they will essentially kill the labor movement. I think they will most likely declare nationwide right-to-work, and maybe go even further like banning public-sector unions or outright moving back toward the Lochner era of striking down any and all labor regulations. It is hard to understate how bad this would be.
my take on it is probably in line with a lot of the community, we're already on the road of capitalist acceleration so this is nearly just another speedup. it sucks but it doesn't change the trajectory of history.
There's no accelerationist benefit to dismantling labor unions, at least not any that could be foreseen. Unions are exactly the infrastructure needed to respond to the opportunities created by "acceleration."
i don't think anybody is saying there's a benefit. i think the point is is this is/was inevitable and unpreventable, and we've just accelerated towards it now.
I’m not ready for the takes on this one to be honest

im not saying its a benefit, im saying thats the direction usa is headed to: instability, fascism, late-stage capitalism.
