While I see your point I don’t think it’s a very useful one. It’s more productive to aspire for the betterment of your own/group’s position/circumstances than to compare how other groups have it worse. The latter just brings complacency, stagnation and maybe even regression because there is always someone who has it worse and so on and so forth.
- christhecaribou 2y agoAgreed. Also, note many of these “founders” are mysteriously suddenly sympathetic to blue collar average joes when they never were before.
- thepuppet33r 2y agoI mean, that occurs anytime these labor changes happen in general. Anytime they can appear to align themselves with workers while actually furthering their own ends, they will. Doesn't mean that advocating for blue collar workers is wrong just because the "founders" are doing it too. Instead we should actually hold them f-ing accountable to what they claim to believe and support when this happens.
- thepuppet33r 2y agoYou may be right, but I think you can have those examinations and comparisons without necessarily falling into complacency. I think that only happens if the forces driving you are mostly external.
