GET HIS ASS!
Lol. Lmao even.
😠
Don't mind my boys, they're just gonna casually disassemble your office while I speak at you for a bit.
Curious as to what this will lead to. Obviously very cathartic to watch though
- Curious as to what this will lead to.
  Probably nothing. Maybe some arrests. The boss might either give in, or maybe turn into a turbo-chud and micro-celebrity.
  I'm not Greek though, so I can't tell for sure how things like this developed in the past.
  
  It'll probably turn out something like the final scene in Christmas Vacation where Bill Murray's brother realizes the error of his ways and doubles Clark Griswold's Christmas bonus.
  
  Yeah if I had to put money on it
- If it's a one of thing: absolutely nothing
  If this starts being a common occurance: changing conditions
  Kinda like Luigi. It happening once and then everybody being like "he'll yea, wish that happened more often" while not doing anything just turns it into a lightning rod for enthusiasm.
based. where my exarcheia enjoyers at?
hell ya
What would anarchists care about legality?
- They probably did it for the women and not the law. Thats the main difference to cops.
- What would anarchists care about ~~legality?~~ marginalised people being exploited by enshrined power structures
- "Yet you live in society, curious." ass take.
- wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy
  
  you don't need to be a weatherman to listen to bob dylan
- Everyone is clowning on you, so I'll try to give an answer. Left anarchists take direct action to help marginalized people. They recognize that they live in a capitalist country and cannot overthrow it overnight, so they take collective actions to protect the vulnerable and disrupt the plans of the powerful.
  I don't speak Greek and I'm not an anarchist, but I imagine these fellas wanted to show this capitalist that firing women for the crime of being pregnant would have consequences for him.
- Correct. They should do things like this even when the firings are legal.
- Legal or not, the firings were unjust. That they are illegal by bourgeois law is just icing on the cake that makes it more palatable to believers in the status quo
