How’s that working out for ya? Enjoying all the change it’s brought you thus far??
Yes? Many forms of direct action benefit the participant, like joining a union.
Ahh, yes, the haymarket riot of 1886! I remember reading about how a bunch of pseudo-socialist lemmy users were at the forefront of that major change.
Hey bud. How about you give an example of change YOU took part in and not just sit around pretending the sacrifices others made for you were yours.
And while we’re at it, what union do you belong to?
If you're going that far back, then I'm enjoying the 40 hour workweek won by unions.
And you had nothing to do with it.
It seems you're only convinced by anecdotes.
Edit: I invite the reader to consider if I personally have taken credit for anything.
It seems you like to take credit for shit you had nothing to do with.
