You owe the 40 hour work week to the unions who advocated for it and the officials who signed it into law. You need both.

monke-rage words cannot describe how angry reading that made me. It's like it was a CIA sleeper agent activation code, but only for pissing me off. My god, what a fucking ingrained dirt speck of a take. Imagining her saying this to one of the people who fought for those rights"Yeah the people you almost killed and had to pin the arm behind their back in order to get the smallest of concessions were just as vital for this process as you. It HAD to be signed into law, so without them you're nothing, really they did more. They could have done it at any time, but only did it when you forced them to, which means they did it and were necessary. I understand how power works I am very smart." what the fuck.
THEY WERE PRESSURING ELECTED OFFICIALS BECAUSE THEY HELD THE REINS OF POWER NOT BECAUSE OF SOME INHERENT LAW OF NATURE THAT REQUIRES THE OFFICIALS PRESENCE THE SOVIETS KILLED THE TZAR FOR PEACE LAND AND BREAD AND FUCKING GOT IT. What an immense fucking copout "oh since a large state needs administrators then" AHHHHHHH The people who signed this shit into law didn't do it because they were fearing for reelection, they did it because they didn't want a revolution or to get shot. They could've done this at any time, but didn't, so they're not necessary for the process.

I think it shows such a lack of critical thinking. The 40 hour work week law was signed by politicians, so that is the end of the story.

Kind of like looking at the state of monarchies in Europe and going “gee, sure is nice of the monarchs to relinquish executive power of their own accord”. I guess if they had any kind of deeper thinking they wouldn’t be the brand of liberal they are, but they have the analytical ability of a child.

"They're equally important!" I say as something only happens because of grassroots leftist direct action.
I think there might be lead in her makeup

You owe the abolition of chattel slavery to all the people who fought and died for it AND the slavers who signed it into law at gunpoint. You need both. blob-no-thoughts

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
