No, and I wasn't trying to be profound. I meant quite literally that..

No, your text didn't "mean" anything, unless you think I'm a mind reader. You asked a question and I answered.

or hilariously authoritarian

So not impossible. And authoritarian is nothing new.

Seems like you had all the answers all along and were trying to be profound

Hilariously authoritarian overreactions to organized labour tend to backfire. Anyway I really don't care what you think, please go away now

You're the one trying to prove something and sound smart without any proof or valid arguments.

FYI, it worked when Ronald Reagan fired every single Air Traffic Controller for striking. They don't have a union to this day. Like I said, authoritarian is nothing new and it works.

Which is why I said in another comment that it really now depends on how they respond, the American way or the French way.

Now go educate yourself a bit before you come back to lemmy and shit your pants again, boy.

Wow you found one instance to back your claim, impressive.

I'm not trying to prove anything. There is nothing to prove. But the point of organized labour making very reasonable demands like this and being denied is that the state must make a choice to accept reasonable demands or massively escalate their response against workers.

Either of those outcomes is acceptable, obviously the first is preferable.

Who do you think you are lol "boy", I've literally worked in France with the unions.
