      Americans talk big about standing up to corporations but don’t actually do it. We don’t join unions and we vote for corporate-approved "moderate” candidates in primaries, who then veto any attempt at making life even slightly better for workers.

      Just look at what happened in ny recently. We couldn’t even get a very basic protection against non-competes without some “moderate” shill vetoing it because it cuts into some slug’s profits. And that shill is a Democrat btw.

      Americans are cowed. People joke about guillotines but Americans can’t even vote for pro-labor candidates without acting like it’s communism. There won’t be any violent resolution here, there aren’t even labor protests .

        Many of my friends are very left-wing, eat the rich types, yet still have piles of Amazon boxes at their door because they automatically use it to buy everything. Unless it’s convenient, change will never happen.
