At least france has the balls to pull this shit.

The US just saw their failing rail system cause a serious chemical spill, then when the rail workers unionized and asked for time off they got told by the president they have to keep working.

Worse than that. Major public opinion was against the rail strikes because they didn’t want to pay more at the supper market. Americans are just capitalist zombies doing whatever their corporate overlords tell them to do.

American here. Yep. Most of us are clueless fucking morons who have been brainwashed into hating unions and the “laziness and entitlement” that comes with it. These dipshits will pay money for a sticker to put on their car to show that they support the class traitors that are the overly militarized police that constantly destroys our property and kills us. Most of us are indoctrinated, nationalist cowards who worship sociopathic oligarchs because they’re “job creators”. And anybody who doesn’t chug the Kool Aid is called unamerican and becomes socially excommunicated. Being aware and intelligent and having basic critical thinking skills is too threatening to their fragile worldview to be permitted to have a seat at anybody’s table. And I’m tired of being gentle about how stupidly dangerous or dangerously stupid their active efforts against knowledge, class consciousness, justice, and democracy are.

Last night, my wife and I tried to come up with a list of things to be proud of our country for. Ready? Because it took like an hour to come up with this.

  • Americans with Disabilities Act
  • no pay toilets
  • National and State Parks
  • pop culture as an export (music, movies, jeans)
  • military technology

Except the railroad workers gained more time off and credited the Biden administration.

No. And now many of the pro-gun absolutely no restrictions people are rolling out the red carpet for an active fascist.

That’s not true at all.

We’ve had way more than one serious chemical spill caused by the failing rail system.

If only we were as badass as French people when protesting for workers rights, most other places are full of entitled bootlicking pussies who make memes about people who actually get out there and fight for their rights.

I respect the fucking shit out of the French willingness to strike, protest, and burn for their rights. I wish my country had a quarter of their fervor.

That doesn’t mean I’m not going to tease them :)
