- concordDance 4y agoNot a productive way of thinking about it, this isn't some tribal conflict where its about having more guys to go beat up those other guys.
- realce 4y agoInteresting - worker solidarity to you is equal to "tribalism" and violence? So unions are actually violent tribal groups in your mind?
- erik_seaberg 4y agoThe rightful way to handle a bad deal is to peaceably walk away saying “I’m better off elsewhere.”
- wittycardio 4y agoIt's actually a pretty clear labour vs capital conflict. Elons just a regular PE style investor who's hoping to gut the company and sell it off without actually changing anything
- socialismisok 4y agoLabor solidarity is an extremely common, useful, and productive way to think about boss vs worker concerns. It's why we don't cross picket lines, why we unionize and support other unions, etc.
- realce 4y agoQuickest route to downvotes and comment flagging I've ever experienced here is this comment. It's bizarre and eye-opening.
- torben-friis 4y agoThe whole musk shebang has been an eye opener for me. I usually consider HN to be top of the line as far as internet forums go, but the amount of mental gymnastics I'm seeing these past days... Unbelievable.
- socialismisok 4y agoHN definitely has a range of ideological bents, and in my experience you'll run into a huge variety of ideologies. But among them all, pro-worker anti-capitalist is pretty rare. (Or even pro worker over pro management.)
- skinnymuch 4y agoYeah I was going to say. I don’t get many upvotes for my pro-labor and anti-capitalist posts. Which end up being most of my comments these days. Though I’m not usually as upfront.
- anonymousab 4y agoThis is quite literally a tribal conflict. It's Musk vs. the employees; that's why he bought the company! It's not like he made it a secret.
