"YES IF YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL INDUSTRY YOU HAVE LESS OF A RIGHT TO STRIKE"

Entire thread on r/news is just the same sentiment of libs worried about their treats while the rest of America is already stuck in poverty and the world suffers already from American economic dominance.

edit for clarity.

    I saw some randos online saying that if an industry is too important for a strike it should be nationalized, so that was heartening.

      Biden's vanguard made from the Bidentariat of the longshoremen.

      In all serious, yeah; some of them really are like "why are we against this". Libs that have a shred of class consciousness. Let's hope they grow.

        Thomas Frank is the goat in this. If there's any liberals you worry about them getting scratched, What's The Matter With Kansas or Listen Liberal are both borderline gateway theory.

          Never read any introductory gateway stuff for liberals. "Listen Liberal" is funny to me though, I'll check it out!

      Liberals have no earthly idea what nationalization means or entails. I suspect they'd be perfectly happy with a PG&E or Fannie Mae relationship, wherein the enterprise is ostensibly managed by the state but so heavily privatized as to just be a continuous stream of bailouts for private investors.
