I support the writer’s guild strike because they are not part of the bourgeoisie. The same can’t be said of a lot of these rich actors who own a ton of capital themselves. So on the one hand, it kind of seems like the bourgeoisie is fighting the bourgeoisie on this one. On the other hand, not every actor in the guild is as successful as Tom Cruise, so some of those striking actors are working class.

    “Hey there fledgling leftist who is asking to be propagandized, unfortunately I do not deem your question worthy of my time, please go read CNN instead”

    Is the painfully dumb to me sorry. Simply saying nothing would be a significant improvement. In a normal discussion, sure. This is not a normal discussion, it’s 101 for a reason I feel like I am taking crazy pills here it’s like some people are actively hostile to the idea of growing leftism, which has always been true, but also they decide to hang out in a place called ‘communism 101’ for some fking reason

    The people who own these companies ARE THE BOSSES that the actors are striking against!

      It’s a very common trolling tactic here to ask questions framed by wrongly presented facts.

      It’s not weird to push back against the wrongly presented facts; there are other answers here as well.

      It’s ok, I think you’re painfully dumb too.

          “leftism” doesn’t exist.

          It’s not weird to push back against inaccurate facts in a question.

          It is weird to newly join a community and immediately try to correct everyone else’s behavior.

          I am not a proselytizer, and I’m frankly disgusted by it. If someone with a question is turned away by a (polite) correction, they were never interested in the first place.

              I’ve stated the following a few times, and it feels like you’ve ducked addressing it:

              It’s not weird to push back against inaccurate facts in a question.

              I feel like it sums up my stance pretty well.

              What is your argument against that?

              Should we accept inaccurate factual framing in order to answer a question?
