  • lol I always see that mouth one wtf.

    I think there's a horny boomer at the top of their marketing department.

  • In fact, organizing is how we beat the fash and prevent their desire to become popular terrorists against us. Keep up the fight! We only win if we build.

  • lol I thought this was fake how is this real

  • Whatever part of the political class they want and/or the installation of an "interim" occupation.

    Maybe Zelensky et al become too frustrating for the plan to draw down aid and start spinning a failure narrative. They can just throw him under the bus as corrupt in an attempt to preempt a narrative of betrayal. Instead, they can say it was actually Zelensky's fault for being corrupt. Or they can skip Zelensky directly, leaving him as an icon that suddenly shuts up so he can have his house in Florida or whatever, while Western powers select the new political class for Ukraine as part of "anti-corruption".

    Maybe they use it for a purge of the Ukrainian elements that would seek the betrayal narrative because they're aware that supporting a bunch of Nazis will have blowback.

  • Yeah I think it should be understood as a pretext for whatever NATO wants to do to Ukraine.

    It may be something along the lines of regime change meddling or an excuse for stationing troops at checkpoints or taking over even more of Ukraine's finances.

  • You can't walk three feet in Ukraine without accidentally weaponizing their corruption

  • Full solidarity with whatever cool things you're doing.

  • Liberals have been indoctrinated out of object permanence. This is why they cannot fathom a political project beyond the next election cycle and why they are easily led around by these scare tactics.

    Kill the liberal inside of you!

  • If y'all aren't ready to organize and walk out for each other you're going to lose any half-assed decertification campaign anyways. Might as well not have a union.

    Someone else should've already been doing this on your behalf. How is your union organized? Do you have a shop steward or similar person that would be the natural "go-to"? Or other workers that are active?

  • I will find it acceptable to get my eventual Chinese EV from the Haiphong-Shenzhen industrial complex.

  • Your union should have a rep in the room for every discussion with management and should be telling management that they're violating your contract by expecting work outside of designated shifts. If that's not an obvious contract violation then they should be talking to a lawyer to find the legal basis of what is reasonable and how labor law applies.

    They should also be taking action to demand that you be reinstated. Not just making the demand but actually disrupting work until management relents.

    This is a very obvious attack on the union itself, you're just the proxy. At minimum, everyone that was pro-union needs to be in a meeting where they are given the background of this and how it is bullshit that will hurt them as well. They need innoculation and then there needs to be an action planned to make the demand.

    Common actions that get the goods:

    • A walkout
    • A slowdown
    • A recorded confrontation with managers (have a community member do the recording)
    • A sickout

    I am focusing on actions because legal avenues are usually very slow. Companies bank on you trying to follow "the process" and eventually giving up due to the time cost and having to get another job. The only way to have a strong union is to fight immediately.

  • Imagining someone trying to jump in through the window (like Tha Dukes) and the car deciding to start closing the window automatically, catching them and failing to stop when it meets resistance.

  • YouTube maintains it's monopoly through network effects. The alternatives need a userbase more than us not having YouTube links.

    Perhaps we could promote cross-uploading of videos to federated platforms.

  • There is never a counterargument and you were no exception.

  • Japanese carmakers were trying to go with hydrogen fuel and did a big grift on their government to get it subsidized. I think the idea was that Japan would have a national disadvantage with EV production as they don't have the material base for batteries but they could have an advantage with hydrogen.

    Those failed, or course. Now they're a decade behind - there were only two Japanese EVs sold internationally just a few years ago.
