Most of us, who are not disempowered, are afraid of losing privilege and not doing enough because of that, or just from plain laziness. The self-esteem comment was probably on point, though. Can almost not help but feel bad for someone who hates themselves so much that they project it on women.
I appreciate that I am not alone in having a better take
Yeah, don't know about that, buddy. "Leftists are male-exclusive subtle fascists" reeks of "I have no clue about left wing ideology and my analysis of the world around me is based on a total lack of knowledge and a total lack of actual analysis", but sure. Could be that leftists just do not respond well to you in particular.
For me anything short of ending capitalism is not pro labour, but I will not mistake you for being pro genocide for disagreeing. Have seen @brain_in_a_box@lemmy.ml around a few times, and sometimes they do keep their brain somewhere else than their head, sometimes not. The above seems to be one of the former.
Both are true. Some educations create skillful workers, just like anyone practicing a trade over time acquires skills with regards to their tasks. That being said, many degrees are just manufacturing diplomas for middle class and bourgeoisie kids who want to feel superior (and have an excuse to be rewarded as if they were).
Only "talking back if experienced" is the reason for poverty wages. If they are willing to let us starve for profit, why can't we burn down their homes for bargaining power? Why let them put their value on us in the first place and accept what we are given?
Yeah, I did actually feel bad for the Stegosaurus in the comparison and chose to mention them only because they are so cool! :(
Sure, but harm reduction does not need to infringe on critique of the current executive branch. If criticizing Biden is enough to make Trump win, then he has already won. Biden does not need to be more than a union buster for me to detest him, and still he is more crappy than that. I am not saying he is the worst, but I do not hate myself or my comrades enough to aim that low for the role of the most powerful man in the world.
I am not. Not voting is statistically the same as voting for the candidate you like the least. However, I don't both eat shit and lick arse.
Participate in collective action: protests, unions, strikes, socialist political parties and so on. Tell your friends they are uncool if they like fascism and very dope if they like increasing their bargaining power with solidaric unity.
Also recognize that violence is inherent to any system of government and that disobedience is a tool, like any other, to fight back at what is unjust. It is also important to recognize that the disenfranchised are bearing the weight of the inadequacies of the staus quo and that being in position to be patient is a privilege.
Stegosaurus to be exact.
Right on! Fuck everyone who dare imagine a better world than a literal dinosaur making extinction worthy policy since the alternative is straight-up going to murder us all themselves.
I am baffled by how humanity has managed to survive this long when so many men suck so fucking much. Then, when I think of it further, large portions of it was probably due to the women having no fucking choice, exemplifying one of many important ways in which men suck.
