Fucking hell, I will never understand how people can be like that. Someone fights for their rights… Let’s arrest them. Like what is their reasoning? How does this work in authoritarian countries, where it works all the time and with far harsher punishments for far less. Crazy.
Company make money, people expendable is the thought process. They dont want to piss daddy capital off. Their also probably getting a check from Samsung to act like this because thats what capitalist interests do.
This has nothing to do with money, just look at North Korea.
Sees the state oppress workers on behalf of the capitalist class
o wow, almost as bad as they have it under gommunism. Wonder what it could be, since it can’t be money 🤔
Again, the mechanism how ordinary people start to oppres others has nothing to do with money or a class system etc. This is a basic human thing your can find anywhere, even in a family in the tiniest case. But also everywhere else. Schools, workplace, sects, …
Why do people treat others like they do in those cases? Like punishing them for something irrelevant? How can we stop this from happening in the future? It seems to be a basic human trait.
Schools are either public institutions (tools of the existing state) or private (tools of capitalists), workplaces could not more obviously be the responsibility of capitalists, by sects I assume you mean religious sects, and those are famously also tools of the state for the oppression of enemies of the state or the scapegoating of minorities.
This “human nature” thing your on is a non-answer, it’s a declaration of defeat without the slightest bit of critical inquiry.
It’s like looking at the genocide in Palestine, being asked the question of “What can we do about this violence?” and saying “Well, my brother gave me indian burns growing up, so I guess violence is human nature and therefore there is nothing we can do”
People in democracies get rights, roads and highways because it makes them productive to the government and contribute to the economy and taxes, not because they are better people.
If citizens are outside that loop (like an easily replaceable factory worker) then they don’t need to spend money on them or their rights.
