A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Not all people have the same opportunity. To say all people are the same is to deny systemic reality. Lemme know when everyone has similar wealth or power to Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.

Uh huh, and that is your excuse for being okay with racism?

Because that is what that was, LITERALLY. It's the classic "it's only bad if they do it, it's perfectly fine when we do it" scheme and it's tiring

If you want to be against racism, then be against racism. If you want to be able to be racism against white people, because "insert reasons they sound good in your head" then that's fine, but at least admit you're just a racist too.

I'm ok with discriminating against billionaires to the extent that they shouldn't exist. I don't believe there should be such disproportionate power. There is a general trend of white men having the most, but it's not exclusive. I don't therefore believe white men all disproportionately have more power and discriminate against them. Does that make sense?

If not, please do explain how anything I've said is racist. I'm hoping this was just a misunderstanding and you're not implying that calling out systemic racism is racist in itself. That would put us in quite the pickle lol
