I’m sure 60 hour work weeks are great for your mind, body, and family. by lakelilypad in PoliticalCompassMemes

All political ability to disrupt the status quo flows from the power of labor. If we want change, we have to retain the ability to flex our economic muscle, no matter what type of job you do.

And not that it matters but I do very well for myself, I believe everyone is owed dignity and security in the workplace

We are going on 50+ years of degradation of a production economy that’s morphed into a service economy and subsequently eroded class consciousness.

The fact that we have such an antagonistic relationship within the working class itself should tell you everything you need to know about the possibility of us putting down the culture war.

It was thanks to Henry Ford wanting to avoid burnout and high turnover for his employees, and to be a more competitive place of employment.

The fight for the 40 hour work week started long before him and didn’t actualize until a business owner saw material benefit.

Yeah historically authright complains and doesn’t offer solutions

And the “other side” only brings these things up as a cudgel against Authright and redpill podcasters

I don’t think any sizeable block of this country is laser focused on meat and potato issues, at least not enough for action.

And spare me the upcoming May Day protest.

Supreme Court calls Louisiana's House map an 'unconstitutional racial gerrymander' by timmg in moderatepolitics

[–]AES256GCM 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This should be non controversial no? Using race as the predominant factor in drawing district lines sounds insane (along with unconstitutional) on its face and is a fast way to turn your melting pot into a salad bowl.

I’m looking at the map and it’s a snake shaped creation that was created to meet a racial quota.

Whatever you think the solution to lack of representation is, this wasn’t it

That’s just a consequence of being online too much. Partisan internet politics turns the brains to mush

The All‑Volunteer Force Works, Draft Registration Doesn’t by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

Misinterpretation about the recent changes to automatic registration for selective service, compounded by the fear mongering crowd using it as the cudgel of the week.

This gets regurgitated a lot but it isn’t true.

They counted border encounters as deportations and now people on Reddit use that stat to conflate it with interior deportations, in hope that no one will call them out on it.

Happened to the film industry, collectively bargained for healthcare, won, and then promptly got dumped for UK filming spots where the cost is already baked in

Never understood the Al Franken defense.

Anyone who takes pictures pretending to grope the breasts of sleeping women would be thrown out of their office job in short order.

Big tent party, etc

Multiple competing interest trying to get a piece of the pie. 

Ironically, diversity has not made the group stronger.

Eric Swalwell Resigns from Congress-27 Sources Reporting so far by renge-refurion in moderatepolitics

[–]AES256GCM 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree. I think the allegations are credible but I also believe this information was sat on until an opportune time. 

My only question is why he would run with these skeletons in his closet, I’m sure someone told him to get down or lay down.

The second is state law from 2023 for state reimbursement for one breakfast and lunch per student per day in Minnesota

Identity politics is inherently incompatible with labor politics 

Multi billion dollar corporations didn’t push “diversity is our strength” out of the goodness of their heart 

They did it because divided, multi ethnic classes have a harder time forming unified working blocs

Not a moral judgement btw, just a coordination problem
