    Seems kinda lib, really weak takes that are completely naive to what kind of radicalism is necessary to achieve anything.

      Wdym? You thinking rioting or what? An actor strike is pretty bad.

        I find listening to the actors and the writers themselves results in far more radicalism. They are PISSED on a level that hasn’t been seen in a while. Ron Perlman threatened to burn down the CEO of Disney’s house.

        My point here is that this kinda filters everything through a lens that’s sort of weak and does not get across the level of radical that these workers are at the current point in time. People’s lives are genuinely at stake and they’re taking that with the seriousness it deserves. This seems kind of muffled by comparison. It’s not nearly as noisy, angry or radical as it should be in a situation where you have workers threatening to burn down the homes of CEOs.

        Instead of filtering through a third party doing commentary it works out much better to simply display the real people on the front line and what they’re saying.

          Ok you need to go back and edit your first comment to reflect your thoughts. I read your first comment and was all “what the hell is this person trying to say” and then read this comment and I was like “OHH that’s actually a well-written comment, I see what they’re trying to say”

            Yeah it’s like… This commentator is not doing the level of severity justice here. You’ve got to get in-touch by hearing the actual workers or you get a really soft out of touch perspective on shit.
