    No no no no… you can say that about legislation. You cannot say it about forcing them to end a strike then getting them crumbs as a consolation.

    They weren’t asking the government to ‘get’ them anything. They were striking and demanding it themselves. The only fucking response from liberals in that case SHOULD have been to stay the fuck out of it so the workers can get things on their terms.

      Semantics. The point is that “good” isn’t good enough for leftists, and anything that isn’t good enough is Bad

        Online communists frequently let perfect be the enemy of the good. Many of the people yelling at you online (not all!) have never participated in any form of boots-on-the-ground activism, never done mutual aid, never attended a protest. Given that a solid majority of these people who get very loud online are slacktivists, I wouldn’t worry too much about what people say online. Go out there, do real praxis, and advocate for what’s right.
