The most successful political propaganda in our time was convincing millions of people that caring for others and the planet was somehow a threat to America.

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.

No way. It's the obsession with Americans weird take on "freedom" and it seems to have been around since forever.
Its freedom as in everyone is free to not have health insurance if the choose not to. Everyone is free to die by gun homicide if they wish to.
Of course, no one is free to choose what to do with their own body, like not have a baby or take hormones - that would just be weird.
And yes, any changes to the status quo would be a threat to the people profiting from it.
I guess you misinterpreted "land of the free". It's free companies, not free slaves. You guys are worker-bees with no real freedom other than buying a truck and a gun because...reasons.
No mockery of YOU. Just sarcasm towards a broken system.
I think bees actually have pretty much a socialist society. They take of each other. I think they have it better than Americans.
True. But, like bees, they too can't choose that life but it was chosen for them. Besides that, bees are indeed the better society. But so are all other non-human animal societies.
The bee has a queen. The queen rules all and kills disobedient bees. The queen directs production.
The Queen Bee is state capitalist. We can do better.
you see America is so free that it's free from freedom! checkmate, socialists (also we're going to keep bombing boats sending humanitarian aid to Cuba because the world can't see that socialism works <:)
HE SAID SOCIALISM!
STONE HIM!
What's happening in Cuba is tragic.
Oh heavens no, I'm not American silly.
Phew..good for you 😁
Yeah….i would argue it’s just money and capitalism. ‘Freedom’, small government, deregulation ‘small’ business, tax changes, it’s all just for profits for rich fuckos. Environment? Well that cuts oil and gas profits! Environmental regulations? Not using that awful chemical hurts manufacturing profits! Taxes? We will cut them all! (Yours expire but the business ones are in perpetuity).
I would add too the concept of "American Exceptionalism".
