Solidarity Forever...among wankers.
Union wank ahead!

So, on a delightful little political forum, Jean Seb posts a story about taxation and tax cuts

People discuss it. Right wingers like it, left wingers don’t. Simple debate, right?

Until it morphs into...a flame war on unions.

Mantis calls unions greedy and lazy

And it goes down from there.

Some highlights:

Unions invented the weekend!

You don’t understand the real world!

I’ve worked with unions for 30 years! Therefore whatever I say is true!

You have no idea what you’re talking about!

Some facts that are kind of irrelevant to the discussion!

I work with REAL PEOPLE in REAL JOBS

And finally…

One giant "fuck you" of a post

Man, I love unions!

Solely because my da isn't part of one, so when the union at his workplace goes on strike? He gets called in to take on 23489347580374 extra shifts, meaning he's never home.

=P

The last post I linked is a bit of a masterpiece, isn't it?

I cannot believe that these batshits claiming to know the OMG TRUTH about unions can't even grasp the basic theory of capitalism. Just... argh *hed asplode*.

my favorite was this one: "For the record...I am NOT anti-union. I am PRO-PEOPLE."

I work at Wal-Mart, and that is EXACTLY the phrasing they use when they talk about how eeeevil unions are. Gave me a bit of a nasty shock.
