    If the majority do it, it can no longer be extreme.

    I’m enjoying the generational divide coming from Gen-Z.

    Previous generations wanting to avoiding “burning bridges” only served corporate interests.

    Workers need stop fearing our corporate overlords. We out number them.

    They’ve manipulated the political process to shattered the social contract and must be held accountable.

    I’m still partial to dragging them into the street since it worked quite well a century but this is a good step towards lighting that powder keg.

      What exactly worked quite well? The USSR and other “socialist” countries worked well only for those outside their territory, acting as some kind of counterbalance, I’ll admit that.

      What was inside was an even more extreme form of what you call “corporate overlords”, because there wasn’t even an illusion of choice, your path changing employers would be similar to transferring between places in a military, the new employer would see every shitty thing the previous one decided to write about you, and they wouldn’t care what you have to say about that generally.

        You seem to have taken this comment in some random direction that is pro-capitalism

        I am not going to take the time to go through all the scenarios as to how violent uprisings resulted in the standards or work we have today simply because you can’t understand a common idiom.

          I understand plenty, miss some, and also there are people not worth understanding.
