“No one is being cancelled for political incorrectness. NO ONE. Most people of power don’t experience “cancellation” until they’re imprisoned for undeniable assaults (plural or it doesn’t count) after many years of carving a swath of destruction wherever they roam. There’s an important difference between reasonable consequences for one’s actions and “cancellation”.
Regarding labor union strikes of any kind for any reason: there’s no liberty in working for unlivable wages. Oligarchies of mafia crime bosses masquerading as politicians and entrepreneurs don’t want their royal subjects to have their basic needs met because that means they have time to realize the “middle class” and working poor are fighting over the scraps they leave behind, until more child labor laws are repealed, that is. Then is gets worse.
Opposing labor unions is always a tool of authoritarianism, regardless of the economic policies and philosophies those authoritarian regimes impose (communism, capitalism, socialism… they all agree on suppressing labor unions in favor of the wealthy elite… it’s almost like upward mobility scares them and they realize economic power is political power). Politics are how we solve problems without violence. Labor unions are the only political power people have left after the Citizen’s United decision by SCOTUS and empiric evidence that popular policies are routinely not implemented by our elected officials, even after referendums are overwhelmingly passed. These robber barons won’t become more gentile as resource scarcity increases with climate change.
I appreciate the discussion and think highly of all those speaking in this episode. I especially want to send all my love Shannen’s way for reasons too numerous for this public comment.
Warmly,
Dr. N.B.”
