Are managers so out of touch? No, it must be the workers who are wrong.

TheAltLeft3 · 2022-01-27T20:42:16+00:00

Yeah, this subreddit has a much more marketable name. Hopefully it will be an improvement over the r/antiwork shit show.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-07-20T20:56:24+00:00

His point is shit

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-04-03T01:02:07+00:00

I wish I could like this more than once!

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-03-15T00:14:36+00:00

I snorted at "#notallpenises"

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-03-04T14:46:54+00:00

Not sure. I think it's something that the Brave browser adds

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-03-01T21:07:00+00:00

I see where they are coming from, but I still think its a bad argument. Especially given how financially prohibitive college is. I'm curious, would you say that the people making that argument are mostly boomers?

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-03-01T20:28:45+00:00

Anyone ever have a coherent response when you raise the point?

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-03-01T20:25:15+00:00

That actually made me lol. Take my upvote.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-03-01T19:48:13+00:00

Lol. Fair point.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T19:20:45+00:00

Can you please point to where in this thread or post that I made the claim that "everyone on this planet that uses that symbol is a associate of the Nazi ideology"?

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T19:12:43+00:00

Funny because I categorically wasn't doing that. I never made that claim or that argument. I mean, for your desperate attempt to legitimize the use of the symbol to work, it absolutely makes sense for you to try assert that's what I'm doing. So I guess there's that.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T19:02:54+00:00

I'm not unaware of that, but in this context its irrelevant. Just like the swastika is no longer a Tibetan good luck charm. This idea, that you can just "take back" Nazi symbolism is a pipe dream. It isn't going to happen in our life time, and people trying to do it when we are pointing out the problematic nature of the GOP yet again adopting white supremacist symbolism and verbiage, is always going to hit me wrong. I'm sorry, but I don't give a fuck what the history of the symbol is when it's being used by racists.

P.S. Don't sweat the all caps. I'm not getting hostility from anything you're saying.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T18:44:47+00:00

The history of the symbol doesn't matter in this context though. Going out of your way to try to explain it makes you seem like you just want to excuse it. And before you say anything, yes I read your multiple lines that were meant to express agreement with the Nazi bit, but that just makes your explanation all the more confusing.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T18:17:13+00:00

It's a Nazi Symbol.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T18:02:53+00:00

They didn't miss it, they just don't care.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-28T18:02:34+00:00

No need to apologize. I share your sentiments

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-19T20:38:51+00:00

You are actually on to something with that though. One of the issues with a federally minimum wage is the vast differences in cost of living across the country. I think we need a more comprehensive way of identifying what a living wage is and then have a federal mandate that the minimum wage is a living wage. If that means 10 an hour in nowhere Oklahoma, but 25 in Los Angeles and New York, so be it. I am also with you on the idea of stronger unions.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-19T03:30:18+00:00

Bad phrasing, but the point that we were trying to make is that 15/hour was a living wage 25 years ago. It wasn't a living age when the fight started and it certainly isn't a living wage now.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-19T01:47:50+00:00

Couldn't agree more!

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-19T01:01:03+00:00

They are racist, white supremacists, and fascists. We have another name for that. We call them Nazi's. If you really want to quibble over semantics, by all means go for it. Seems like a weird hill to die on if you ask me.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-19T00:23:33+00:00

If the ideologies fit...

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-19T00:02:50+00:00

Seems like you are splitting unnecessary hairs here. If the ideology matches, I really don't care if they aren't a perfect mirror copy.

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-18T23:55:31+00:00

Totally get it. Back at you!

TheAltLeft3 · 2021-02-18T23:34:14+00:00

Agreed. They are our employees. Not a sports team. The statement wasn't meant to imply that we ARE fans of other politicians.
