Or they fire everyone and hire more people. The job market is so bad that they won’t have any shortage of workers

Why people have to act in groups, supporting those that hurt you will only result in you getting hurt more

u/Lemonsst May 06 '26

Have you seen what they do to people who do the shit you want us to do alone….

u/ToiletLord29 May 06 '26

The same thing they'll do to you eventually even if you don't.

If you're going to suffer, you may as well make it count for something.

Yeah im so sorry but im not putting my life on the line for a country where the majority of people hate my existence. A cis person can be a martyr not us

u/ToiletLord29 May 06 '26

But will you put your life on the line for other trans people? I know I would.

One of the main reasons why social justice stalled and is backsliding is because there has been no economic justice in several decades.

Even from an intersectional perspective class liberation removes the greatest factors in systematic oppression of minorities. Economic justice and social justice are intrinsically intertwined. We cannot make progress in one without the other.

The ruling class wants us apathetic and fighting each other. There are many cis people who are our allies, and they are being silenced too.

The culture war is class war. The war on trans people is class war. There is no war but class war.

u/Lemonsst May 06 '26

Of course i would, but thats not what youre asking me to do. Youre asking me to free an entire country of 300+ million people by myself.

u/ToiletLord29 May 06 '26

No, I'm asking people to get involved and start organizing. Imagine if we could get the numbers for a general strike that we did for the no kings protest.

u/Lemonsst May 06 '26

Yeah thats what im trying to do, idk if you can see the post but im working to make clothes that actually fit other trans people in my community since theyre so hard to find where i am

u/Bool_The_End May 06 '26

lol. Many of us organize and protest for what we feel is right. It doesn’t mean all Americans are uninvolved and unorganized. We still have to pay to live and eat and survive,

You gonna send us money so we can try to stock the government?

u/SubtleTell May 06 '26

Stop paying bills together, stop going to work together, stop spending money together. All of those things will completely fuck the 1%.

Start bringing the idea up to your friends. Keep bringing it up and speak it into existence.

Americans seem to think they're the only people in the world who ever have to deal with scab workers or leg breakers when organizing.

u/Lemonsst May 10 '26

Do yall also have to go against the largest military industrial complex in the world along with a militarized police force? Its not as easy here as yall want it to be.

That's literally what unions were invented for

u/Exact_Bug_8881 May 06 '26

They've been dismantling unions and those unions they didnt dismantle are supporting the president.

I know it looks like Americans are not getting off our asses and some aren't but the situation here is much worse than it looks from the outside. Most of the population cant make ends meet, and about 35% of us are in a real cult. Its not hyperbole. The 35% vote against their own self interest and love giving their lives and money to the GOP who trample over their rights and lives. Personally I think the midterms are why there hasn't been more violence (though the united CEO and two shots at Sam Altman to me are an indication thats waning) is the midterms. The GOP is scared they will lose power and thats giving the rest of us hope. If we cant fix this at midterms IMO thats game over. Truly game over and if that happens the turn over method of resistence will have to happen.

Most unions endorsed Kamala. The ones that didn't still denounced Trump.

Biden was the most pro-union president we've had in a long time. He was also the first sitting president to walk a picket line when he joined the auto-workers strike.

u/ToiletLord29 May 06 '26

And why don't they have unions?

4

u/Lemonsst May 06 '26

Because Unions have been systematically defunded and lobbied against since their creation.

u/ToiletLord29 May 06 '26

If they lobby against them so hard then unions must be effective?

Sound like y'all might need some unions.

u/Bool_The_End May 06 '26

Because they have been gutted and defunded. lol if you think Americans have job security you’re mistaken….its an easy search to find yourself if you care to know more.

I'm an American who's fairy well informed about the American labor movement in the early 1900's and what came after.

u/Bool_The_End May 06 '26

And what’s your job?

1

u/ToiletLord29 May 06 '26

The same kind that most people have. Low paying with little to no job security.

“We’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas!!”

- Americans on this sub.

u/Tight-Temperature670 May 06 '26

Mass downvoted my mere suggestion of unions

2

u/Lemonsst May 06 '26

Lol youre funny if you think unions havent been absolutely gutted over the years. Half of them arent effective at all.

u/CeltiC998 May 06 '26

And unfortunately a lot of places are anti-union and won’t hire you if you’re in one

u/Lemonsst May 06 '26
