    Yes.

    The system itself is trying to profit off of the failure of the system.

    This is one reason why it is a flawed system. It can change tomorrow if we coordinate, but there will always be some dipshit that will buy anyway. Some dipshit that sees that they will be a standout if they are against the cause. The human love for things is too great.

    We as leftists, must organize in ways that match the fascists. Subversion of their goals is our goal. The class and culture war is in full effect and we must not be complacent. “It’s time to reapply what we call neighborhoods and start to trust our progressive neighbors. Circle the figurative wagons and figure it’s gonna be a long, painful de-evolution that could last for decades.”

      One main issue with our progressive neighbors is they like to co-opt movements and take control of them and fight our class interests to protest the status quo.

        I see what you’re saying. If progressives do this, what do you suggest? Are you left of progressives? Sorry, I’m new to actively participating in these types of conversations. I want to help fight the status quo, hang billionaires and take care of marginalized peoples.

          I’m way left of progressives. They should have a voice but they need to understand this isn’t their movement to lead, most times they get in the way.

    Funny how the people actually making tips never show up in these threads to decry their miserable situation. Why do you think that is?

      They must be the trillionaires bro, you cracked it, tipped jobs are broken and need to be nerfed because they’re so great.

      Currently working for tips. I’d rather have a $2/hour cut from my current wage and no tips in exchange for steady hours, steady pay, and health insurance. Tips are a nice ego boost, but I can’t ever rely on it. I’m tipped so poorly lately I just use it on edibles and feed my bills and shit with my decent paychecks.
