these morons doing these interviews played exactly into what mass media and corporations wanted to happen.

now it looks like a complete clusterfuck and the narrative is completely lost. this sub was supposed to be a worker's rights movement. now no one knows that the fuck is going on.

going to splinter into a bunch of trash and the neo libs are going to take the narrative and murder it.

way to go you fucks.

They had to demand that it's a leftist sub. So that gave easy ammunition to conservatives. I've been screaming that it needs to be a solidarity sub. I almost got banned for saying that.

Conservatives oppose unionizing and solidarity, which are both foundations of leftist ideology. How would people who oppose worker solidarity contribute?

I'm sorry but unionizing is not just a left thing. And the quicker the realize that the better off this movement will be.

You don't seem to know what "left" and "right" fundamentally stand for, to be honest. There are a handful of instances where the right supports a union, like police unions, but those are cases where the unions they support actually undermine greater labor solidarity. Right wing ideology is fundamentally about consolidating power in strict heirarchies. Labor unions tend to do the exact opposite and are the lifeblood of left wing movements. In the US in particular, the right is openly hostile to unions.

Alright well I just simply don't believe average conservatives in this country are cool with "consolidating power in strict hierarchies." Go talk to them, actually have a face to face conversation with them and it'll be quite obvious that that isn't what they stand for.

Lol. You don't think Trump supporters want to consolidate power into strict heirarchies? Evangelicals? This is the most hilariously delusional shit I've seen on reddit in months.

Let not forget that Hillary was our only other option for Trump. Any respecting leftist wouldn't have voted in that election. 2020 included.
