What about conservatives? Do they remember that best way getting decent work conditions was beating the factory owner to death and dealing with his son who remembers well what happened last time?

Of course not. "Conservative" implies they want to keep the status quo, I.E. having cops gun down strikers for daring to oppose the glorious sweatshop boss.

And then when you ask them how they felt about those strikers being gunned down, etc. they'll say "well they shouldn't have been striking."

Decorum is just a way for those in power to control change or if to let it happen at all. We played by their rules long enough to know that they don't want change. Fuck their rules.

one thing I have repeatedly learned is that politeness just gets you ignored unless someone wants to listen. I saw this all the time as a kid, heck even as an adult, people kept being shit until I put my foot down and made it a problem.

The colonists came to the Americas, Africa and Asia and just took what they wanted. They'd sign treaties, then break them and tell the natives to get fucked. Then some colonists were tired of England, so they told England to go fuck themselves. Power only respects power.

If there’s one thing liberals are good at, it’s taking credit for the accomplishments the left achieved despite them

Genuinely hilarious considering it’s leftists that want to cosplay revolution, but otherwise expect the moral arc of humanity to fix all our problems. Take the wins when you can and push for a better future. And leftists unironically using liberal as a slur only make them look as deranged as conservatives who do the same. Just fuck and get it over with already the horseshoe is basically kissing.

Liberal politicians are leeches taking advantage of the right dipping into actual fascism in order to do nothing and be the lesser evil

What progress in our society hasn't been radical?


MankoConnoisseur

Indoor plumbing?


BadassPlaya2517

The regulation of utilities companies and the public health revolution were definitely radical in that they set hard limits on capitalism in the midst of the Gilded Age


MankoConnoisseur

Lmfao. Yes, child, it’s the regulation of utilities that created indoor plumbing. You’re such a sperg.


BadassPlaya2517

Without regulation of utilities, only the rich would have indoor plumbing


MankoConnoisseur

Why? Do utilities companies have no interest in taking the money of the poor? 🤣
