Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Bro, people work where they can, it's not like we live in a society where we can choose freely where to work. And do not forget that people need to work to eat, it's not their fault if they live in capitalism, they have to do what they can to survive. Also, it does not matter who they work for, they are all capitalists at the end of the day, there is no relevant difference
Do you think workers who work in factories that make bombs to kill civilians in Gaza will have incentives to stop wars and genocides?
This is a very real issue that pertains to labor organizing within the Imperial Core, and why labor movement without anti-imperialism can easily swerve into national socialist stance that propagates and perpetuates the imperialist ambitions of the empire.
Absolutely they would not. But I do think blaming the workers themselves is not the best thing to do, labor movement by itself really isn't enough, there has to be a party to spearhead the movement, but I guess that is very far away from reality right now
Also, just to make sure you don't misunderstand me, I think this union is dogshit. They should be on strike for many more reasons, do picket lines and possibly destroy the machinery. Even for just reclaiming the salary they're bad.
