A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

More context, he said this on June 19th, the day Juneteenth is celebrated across America.
It's a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in America.
He obviously doesn't want any holidays related to black people to be celebrated.
"STFU, Donnie. You're out of your element. "
Why do we use the fall of civilization period known as the middle ages as a standard? Most of human history was hunter-gatherers. One of the better moments was during the age of Rome.
Is that in project 2025 ? I dont remember but they are on track for sure.
Yeah, sure, good luck only working 150 days, or even taking a whole day off, when you're supposed to tend to farmland and animals. That's like having a holiday from being a parent
Ok bootlicker defender of your oppressors
Funny, I didn't know calling out bullshit was the same as "defending my oppressors". I'd love if you could point out the kind of crazy mental gymnastics needed for that
Assuming communal farming, you just rotate who works each day.
And? They also had communal+generational help with that.
There was bad stuff too, but we are getting fucked here
This isn't entirely true - someone calculated that, on a good year, a peasant could only work 150 days a year towards the rent of their own farmland. Then they have to actually work that land, take care of their animals, and manually do basically every industrial process we take for granted to get food in their belly. They didn't work 150 days a year then go off with a cheque that will sort them out for the rest of the year.
wasn't this confirmed false?
It absolutely is false and it's very misleading. Living as a peasant would suck complete ass.
Thinly veiled attempt to get rid of juneteenth. So just the usual rightwing racism.
Quel con !
