capitalist coping “YES IF YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL INDUSTRY YOU HAVE LESS OF A RIGHT TO STRIKE”

Entire thread on r/news is just the same sentiment of libs worried about their treats while the rest of America is already stuck in poverty and the world suffers already from American economic dominance.

edit for clarity.

    I agree! They immediately think of actors, or directors, etc. Instead they fail to think of set designers, make-up artists, FX people, etc. There is something there to a liberal looking at the industry and seeing the richest as a general guide for how everyone else must be doing (maybe not as rich, etc)

    On top of that, they also don’t even question why bank managers, financial analysts and other useless fucking jobs make over 400k? But longshoremen wanting job security and pay increases are bad? Instead they mask it with “NOOOOO DON’T HINDER PROGRESS TO MAKE US ALL CONTRACTED WAGE-SERFS!!”

    Absolutely garbage people in that thread.

        Those same lanyard enjoyers were smugposting about how us meat computers would be replaced everywhere by treat printers and that we should celebrate being replaced, but were so narcissistic that they didn’t notice how their own jobs were actually easier to replace than the rest at the moment their fellow lanyard enjoyers decided to fuck them over.
