Donald Trump’s new security directive labels anti-capitalist beliefs as a predictor of political violence. The irony: left-wing structural analysis actually pushes people away from lone-wolf attacks and toward mass organizing for change.

      I think I read about it in a book once, where it was called “wrongthink”.

          See that’s not how you spell it in “wrongthink”

          It’s ++nogood

          Because no is really un, they are pronounced identically and you didn’t know that because you aren’t as cool as Prez

      It’s an excuse to violently subjugate opposition.

      Pretty sure the term was invented in Minority Report as a legal gray area where it’s in many way immoral to prevent crime by arresting people before they commit anything. It’s literally a real life example of the Torment Nexus meme.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
