They had a "movement" there, for whatever that's worth these days considering it's lol Reddit and it all just got cratered because one dog walker didn't take Jordan Peterson's sage advice and clean their room before their Fox News interview smdh
The problem with lazy people trying to get a movement going is they are too lazy to even figure out what their movement is for, let alone prepare for things like television interviews. Its much easier to lay around the house and bitch online.

These dipshits went to occupy wallstreet to turning it into a nudist colony within a month, then it was a free society named chaz or something and they turned that into Afghanistan in even less time.

The reason there are no anarchy citizen run goverments in the history of human civilization is obvious yet here we are the self professed smartest guys in the room who cant make a single friend are telling us it's possible we can all work together.

It was always a bad name. Then covid happened, a crapload of people suddenly became aware of their working conditions and had an immediate reason to look at labor practices in general.... and a flood of liberals and conservatives who just wanted to gripe about their lousy jobs showed up. Most people did not use it to organize or learn. It's a shame, a lot of wasted potential.

The "good" news is the exploitation remains, so there will be more chances

Yeah but government financial support has run out. Corporations will be getting the upper hand again this year. Democrats squandered two years and the best they could come up with was a child tax credit.

I won't give up. There's still signs the awareness remains in some. Starbucks workers organizing, for example. And I think the Amazon workers get another pass at it in Bessemer soon, iirc

That's kind of the scenario I am hoping for, as I do not have any faith in our political process at all anymore

I don't think it will really get started until trucks stop shipping goods and shelves are empty, the old no revolution on a full stomach thing

unfortunately I think the smartest people on the planet agree... and so they are starting the apocalypse so they can use it to take control of the world instead of letting it happen naturally letting John Connor can rally the people.
