    Hm?

    Okay, it seems we were ever on the same page to begin with and I apologise if it’s caused confusion and time of your day to be wasted. It was never my intent to have you use so much energy on something so useless and I feel responsible for encouraging it with replying.

    Much peace.

      Well, you are promoting ideas that antagonize worker interests, in a socialist community. It may be expected, and rightfully so, that you would encounter resistance.

      The comments quite exactly resemble those promulgated by reactionary sources that help oligarchs maintain their power.

      If you are interested genuinely in exploring the best strategies for workers to make gains, then please consider the importance of the sources you invoke being ones that can be understood as reliable and robust, as well as generally independent from hegemonic institutions and ideals.

          It is an accurate characterization that you have been promoting ideas antagonist to worker interests, because the natural and obvious reading of your comments is for workers to be discouraged from demanding higher wages. In fact, the language you supported is indistinguishable from that used by right wing outlets whose intention is to keep the working class repressed.

          If you have a different narrative, then it is important that you present it as explicitly as possible.

          At present, you seem to be suggesting that governments care about workers, which is obviously mistaken.

              If you are supporting rhetoric that encourages workers to act against their own interests, then you are not supporting workers, and you will not find friends in a socialist space.

              If you have deeper insight or analysis that credibly supports the interests of the working class, then you carry the burden of distinguishing your ideas clearly from those that have been employed to repress workers.

              You should not expect anyone to treat you as someone different from whom you resemble, or to sympathize with ideas that have already been rejected.

                I think a Wikipedia article detailing a concept should be more than enough. At no point did I mention anything against workers. At no point did I support unethical employers. That’s entirely an assumption born in your mind that was the immediate conclusion and means for attack.

                How you came to that assumption has nothing to do with me. But, as you know, it turned out that it couldn’t have been more wrong.

                How more could someone prepare for a mind like that? Why should they? We are all strangers and I wouldn’t know what buttholes to start covering with pages of disclaiming footnotes, “just in case someone’s brain does this”.

                The time of day given is me pooping, wasting time, or waiting for something. I can respect people have more to give, but I’d appreciate their energy spent pondering a little before participating.

                  I made no assumption about you.

                  The language you chose is language whose most natural and obvious effect is to discourage workers from advancing their interests, of demanding higher wages.

                  A choice whose effect is against worker interests is one that rightfully will be resisted.
