i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

what about the somali customers? good chance they were working class too. do they not deserve to live in a world where they can buy a snack without an assault on their dignity?

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.

It has to be Rogal Dorn, man gets aroused by architectural schematics.

Yeah, it’s really annoying, I wish more folks understood how changes actually occur.

Yeah, that’s one where you either accept never being invited back and go off-script or you just don’t bother.

Yeah, exactly. We don’t need well-meaning folks smash themselves against a wall that can never and will never give. But if they know that and do so anyway like Max described, we don’t get the burnout we would otherwise. Knowing the battlefield changes how we fight.
