I genuinely fail to see the logic in what you’re trying to get accross here. The need for unions exists because the interests of the owner of the means of production and that of his workers are fundamentally antagonistic : the owner wants to make profit, and can only make profit by appropriating surplus value, keeping the costs of production low, accelerating the production rates, etc. So him making money always comes at the expense of the workers’ wages and working conditions one way or another. That’s literally the only way he can make extra profit off labor. It’s in that context that unions exist to alleviate the workers and defend their interests.
So, kick out government without kicking out capitalism and expropriating owners first, and you haven’t done anything at all about the reasons why unions exist in the first place. If anything, you’ve made the situation significantly worse, because now you don’t even have labor laws anymore to force the employer to comply to a set of minimum standards.
Honestly. Considering how wages have not increased at the same rate as the prices on the products we are buying kinda suggests that they are not interested in anything but exploiting us. Companies are getting richer, but wages of the workers do not move an inch.
I like how people can look at that and think: “Wow, that guy on top really is doing good work” and then look at the guys on the bottom carrying the guy on top with their backs almost breaking; “You are all so lucky to be working there!”
It is insanity.
Really, I consider the best kind of capitalistic society to be one where the free market also plays ball - but they do not play ball because of corporate shaft-chokers who continue to excuse the behavior of the top in said businesses.
Billionares existing don’t hurt me as long as the prices for all the stuff I like stay low. The liberal democracy is a concept that was withold the test of time.
Yeah… about that. Prices keep going up, productively keeps going up, but wages have stayed the exact same since the mid 70s.
Billionaires also hurt the entire world through driving climate change and choosing not to solve world hunger, which would take a fraction of their wealth.
Evil Light worshipers? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! WE NEED 15 ACTIVE THREADS ON THIS NOW! HOW DARE BLIZZARD CONTEMPLATE MAKING SOME PEOPLE WORSHIPING MY SELF INSERT WHITE HUMAN RELIGION NOT BE PURE WHITE AS THE DRIVEN SNOW!
Nah, nobody ever had a problem with the Scarlets, and even Yrel’s crusade caused more grumbling about her heelturn than about the concept. It’s the idea of the Light itself being sinister that bugs (some) people, and I get that because it feels like a retcon.
I don’t think the new lore is suggesting that the Light itself is sinister ? Only that it’s a cosmic force like any other that’s devoid of inherent moral value
Which changes nothing to the fact that many mortal races would be naturally drawn to it for faith/comfort/power
i mean if you weren’t worried about the strong source of magic fueled by the power of friendship and the firmness of your believy-weevies in classic, idk that might be on you. that sorta thing seems preeeeeetty suspect in any circumstance.
