Man it's amazing, I work with some super-right wing people- like borderline Q conspiracy nut jobs
But as long as I'm careful about with my phrasing, I can go almost full Marx on their ass and have them nod along. At least when it comes to labor issues.
Guys at my place have the thin blue flag on their trucks. I'm in a similar situation.
"Class solidarity"? Thats communist junk. "A win for you is a win for me"? Hell yeah, brother.
"The bourgeoisie's interests can never align with the proletariat" might actually get me punched in the face. "The boss don't give a shit about you" will get a "damn straight!".
“We have strict rules about using exclusionary language in organizing committee meetings” will lose you half the room.
“If you wouldn’t say it in church, you don’t say it here” gets near unanimous nodding heads and grunts of approval. If I can get a bunch of middle class white Christians to chastise someone for using bigoted language and all I have to do is not say, “fuck” or “shit” during meetings, I’ll take that trade every time. It’s funny as shit to see.
well said
