You are giving a perfect example of what I'm saying. Zero of your information is useful or applicable and you insist that "just do it bro" is the answer.

You apparently don't even know unions work differently depending on the country, and yet you "educated" me as if you were giving me the secret to catgirls.

This is exactly my point. There is a disconnect between the ideologues and those privileged enough to be able to join an existing union, and the reality of the majority of workers that can't simply "just join a union or make your own" like its ordering a meal of Uber eats.

Unions are a privilege, and we should stop acting like it's something anyone can "just get one bro".

You're aware that you're claiming things and provide no sources or proof for them, right?

Maybe lets start with trying to do the basics in debating other people. If you make a statement that is not unilaterally understandable, you back it up.

That said, your ad hominem shows me you lack the personality to survive in a union. Going after fellow workers gets you kicked out in a heartbeat. We're one class. Divided we fall, united we stand.

Now show respect and explain if you think I'm wrong or gtfo.

"You lack the personality to survive in a union" yikes.

Sometimes I wonder if people like you are actually purposefully bad actors trying to give worker movements a bad rep.

But yeah, blind ideologues like you are exactly what I'm talking about. Sorry you need someone to explain this to you. Don't worry I'm sure you'll find someone who can deal with you.

Cheers buddy.

Perfect description of your behavior.

Anti union actor who tries to turn it around on those telling others to take the leap in good faith.

People who try to undermine the fight against oppression are the enemy, willfully or not.

Join us or stand aside.
