A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Uhhh.... Ro Khanna is a Democratic congressman. I'm from Canada and I know that FFS. He's the guy that got some of the Epstein files released and it's actually a crime that they haven't all been released.

Y'all are so conditioned into thinking the Democrats are bad that when an incumbent Democratic congressman says something you like you have to pretend it's a voter the Democratic party doesn't listen to?

and I want to be clear - this means no aid to Ukraine either. We are broke as it is.

So abandon all allies of the US? I guess you believe both Russian and Iranian propaganda. Is there any propaganda on the internet you don't fall for?

The US is actually the wealthiest country in the world. You're just so blinded by hatred for Israel you can't even consider simply taxing the wealthy. Hasan Piker is really earning the money Jeff Bezos is paying him I guess.

No one is "blinded by hatred for Israel", my hatred for the genocidal colonial apartheid ethnostate is wholly clear-eyed.

Thank you for proving my point.

Except Russia, of course. You're fine with them.

Did they say that, or are you being a fuckhead?

Lame whataboutism that doesn't even warrant a response, but I'm feeling generous so I'll give you one anyway:

Israel receives billions of dollars of US aid. I allegedly have some sway over that as a US Citizen... allegedly. Russia does not receive billions of dollars of US aid - to the contrary, they're already heavily sanctioned - so there's not much point in me trying to sway domestic opinion against them.
Russia's actions have not been recognized as genocide by the leading global authorities on genocide, unlike Pissrael. I'm also not aware of Russia having a system of apartheid. I'm also not aware of any Russian colonies - maybe you could name one?
I am, partially, Polish. I have no personal love for Russia, very likely some of my ancestors died fighting them or otherwise died by Russian hands. I just don't think they're any worse than my own country, the United States, so I have no morally-superior position to target them from.
It was fucked up for America to tell Ukraine to decommission their nukes and then we would protect them, and then for us to push NATO up to Russia's borders. The inverse of that is exactly what got America all nervous, to say the least, during the "Cuban Missile Crisis". (Speaking of which, the United States is currently imposing a famine and medical collapse on Cuba, more proof that Pissrael is just Little America.) Ukraine should've kept their nukes to avoid being dependent on the untrustworthy and imperialist US, and NATO membership should've never been a question.

Now that that's out of the way, can we discuss why you're framing principled opposition to the modern-day holocaust as "blind hatred"?

Hey @JcbAzPx@lemmy.world , you forgot to reply here, but I know facts are scary for Zionazi symps.

You did more than enough to damn yourself. Thank you.
