Its all fine in a privilege position when stomachs are full and roof over someone head, but people do need to be able to feed their families and have a safe warm place to live. Not all people there have savings or a backup in place such as partner having a job as they live hand to mouth Not all industries has unions, not all employees are union members and when they have to face into circumstances such as mass unemployment, lack of job opportunities in deprived areas and the state not offering enough support, people are desperate and good on them. It is more nuanced than that! I remember all this in the 1980s in the UK with Thatcher vs Scargill and the destruction this crap did to people and families. Then there are many who are not into unions full stop and its fine on either side of the position.Scabs need to be shamed. They are living off the benefits of what unions had to fight tooth and nail for and are selling it out for a quick buck. Unions are fighting for better conditions for everyone. Scabs take those benefits and then just for the sake of short term gains pick the side of the employer who wants to pay everyone less.
In the UK i am pro union btw as without e.g. we would never had the concept of the weekend.

Okay, but that's not what her shirt says, though. Her shirt is the equivalent of "eat the rich," or is that now bad?Because if you had a shirt ingame that said those instructions to say....people of a ethnic group - you think people would not react harshly if they saw you wearing it? The reality if folks can play it off as not being a big deal because they know folks would not do it and if they did then the full force of the internet would come down on them. To assume otherwise I feel would to be out of touch or very naive.
Because the rich are still human beings - they have just as much right to live as everyone else. Even the concept of "transphobia" does not immediately equal hatred; though it may be in vogue to assume such - a phobia is a irrational fear; should we also sacrifice all anthrophobes..to...satan specifically for some reason?
Even if the shirt said "sacrafice all who hate to satan" I would still disagree with that; I generally oppose the death penalty in all forms; I do not believe in the notion of pre-crime so the notion of being ok with killing someone as a act of self-defense because you believe that they might someday do you harm leads to a pointless cycle - its like someone who is cis wearing a shirt saying likewise about cisphobes.
Negative actions breed negative consequences. It sounds horrible when you consider the notion of trying to reach people might not work and is not without riskes; but if you are successful then the results are only positive; but harm will only breed more harm.
Trying to equate "Eat the rich" which is synonymous with anti-capitalist/ taking money away from rich people to sacrificing and killing people is fucking wild. -IQ take here.
Last I check "eat the rich" didn't include killing people.
I dunno, all that just kinda comes off looking like "video games cause violence!" Unless you're transphobic, the shirt is just silly inoffensive edgy nonsense.Because the rich are still human beings - they have just as much right to live as everyone else.

Post on your main account.
"It's just silly inoffensive nonsense when my side says something edgy. But if anyone else says something edgy, it's because they're an -ist/-phobe."
Not what I'm saying, but go off mate.
Well yeah. The shirt mentions transphobes, so... am I missing something here? Have ya'll just been reacting without actually looking at what the shirt says?
