you could google search hot takes about the reality of late-stage capitalism, people below the poverty line being social scapegoats, the nature of strikes as strengthening an inclusive community vs strengthening an exclusive community, morality's importance in the face of capitalist terror of hunger or lack of shelter, and two things being true at once. if you were willing to fuck like the worlds sexiest centipede

#sorry i almost want to post my strike vs scab hot take but i also recognize i havent slept in a long time and am not at my best #it really does just boil down to ''scabbing is morally wrong and acts directly against the workers' class interests''#''but also scabs are often poor people or those struggling to get employed elsewhere. people facing external systemic pressures.''#''the way to prevent scabs is--seemingly counterintuitively--to help scabs via building community resources #because desperate people cross picket lines. prevent or aid them and the pressure is lifted''#like. maybe i am a little able to say it. it really is just saying yeah scabbing is wrong but also it isnt very anarcho-leftist of you #if you cannot square ''scabbing is wrong'' with ''scabbing is a result of systemic oppression of the working class''#and ''scabbing occurs when people feel they need to do so to survive. conveniently the systems you are striking #also creates the environments which cause people to feel that desperation.''
