this line of argument always boils down to "rail workers are indispensable, which is why we can't give them better pay or benefits."
Literal magical train doing impossible things
Cannot operate without normal human on hand
So, anyway, we're going to AI away all these jobs and then you'll be sorry.
Artificial Incantations
Anti-Union meme 
Slavery Apologia movies
Mostly, I'm just stuck on a railway worker being responsible for the monstrously shit guardians back him.
I guess this is as good a place as any to post my Harry Potter hot take:
CW: Ableism
In Harry Potter, muggle-ness is essentially a hereditary disability: you get the two recessive muggle genes, you can't do something that others can, and the fact significantly disadvantages you in life. Muggleborn wizards are a thing, sure but they're rare, whereas the children of wizards tend to be wizards by default barring rare exceptions.
Viewed through that lens, and seeing how the series portrays and treats muggles, its politics become even more rancid. Even the "good" side views them with incredible arrogance and condescension. The whole reason for wizard secrecy is "If they knew about us, they'd expect us to use our incredible abilities to... ugh... help them."
The whole reason for wizard secrecy is “If they knew about us, they’d expect us to use our incredible abilities to… ugh… help them.”
Some wizard scabs call one of the strikers a muggle and a wizard picketer yells back "that muggle is a better man than you'll ever be".
Lol I really want to see a Harlan County, USA style mockumentary that takes place over a fictionalized human-wizard strike in the harry potter universe.
The Anime Little Witch Academia has basically that in one episode lol
>the Ukraine flag in their username
there's a car in my neighborhood that is still driving around with double-underlined "GO UKRAINE!" scrawled on its side and back windows
they also have a yard sign that says "ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN"
An infallible signifier of bad takes havers
at any point before his induction into hogwarts any of the wizards could have rescued harry from his childhood abuse and torment and chose not to
But then they would be expected to save others? They can't possibly save everyone. (actual in universe justification)
its not like they are saving some random kid who is being treated badly
they literally all personally knew his parents and some even promised his parents that they would look out for harry
its a very personal and specific act this, not some random act of charity
Author missed the part about going on strike over the railway planning to get rid of staff who answer questions like, 'excuse me sir, can you tell me where I might find platform…'.
The accurate meme is Harry looking at his reflection and saying that line to himself in panel one. Panel two is a picture of a wall and a ceiling because there's nobody to ask. And panel three is the same.
And the knife bans are preventing the Highlander from finally slaying the Kurgan. No bearing on the real world, but it's scary to imagine isn't it?
Umm acktually he slayed the Kurgan in America, where he can knife whoever he wants
Okay, but just imagine that New York got UK knife law and you could no longer open carry katanas or whatever.
Then Kurgan wouldn't've been beheaded, he'd obtain The Prize and do something evil with it.
The only thing that can stop a bad immortal with a sword is a good immortal with a sword (and a Sean Connery training montage)
Strike? But what about my Harry Potterino??
Terminal treat brain.
Cool! I didn't know Zelensky posted memes too.
Terminal treat brain.
If that person's pfp is truthful, they're a woman born in the 50's
Which makes this even funnier in a way
Does the rolling stock not exist at other times to use? Surely they could run the train on another day after the strikes are over?
It's the dunk tank.
