Social media can organise people a lot quicker than Unions

2019-01-23 15:39:55 UTC  

You have time and a half and doublt time, then. Or you did...

2019-01-23 15:39:58 UTC  

modern protests are social media based

2019-01-23 15:39:59 UTC  

look at france, unions have been shown to be complicit with the state and powerful interest groups as soon as a roots movement sprung up

2019-01-23 15:40:03 UTC  

Until the unions got killed off.

2019-01-23 15:40:13 UTC  

Balance is key.

2019-01-23 15:40:17 UTC  

And checks and balances.

2019-01-23 15:41:16 UTC  

What if I want to form a counter-union?

2019-01-23 15:41:21 UTC  

Good luck

2019-01-23 15:41:26 UTC  

That's an employers union.

2019-01-23 15:41:27 UTC  

A union that fights against the current union?

2019-01-23 15:41:30 UTC  

They exist.

2019-01-23 15:41:52 UTC  

No, like, a union of employees, but they argue for different things than the first union.

2019-01-23 15:42:08 UTC  

Here in the US even if you don't join a union you have to give them money

2019-01-23 15:42:09 UTC  

The link to the labour movement, and mandatory voting are the two reasons Australia is marginally better than the US and UK right now.

2019-01-23 15:42:36 UTC  

I think there are situations where there are multiple unions. Not sure.

2019-01-23 15:42:57 UTC  

But I do know I've been well represented by my unions in my life.

2019-01-23 15:43:21 UTC  

I also know that there are thugs and mafia running other unions.

2019-01-23 15:43:49 UTC  

Compulsory unionism should be illegal.

2019-01-23 15:44:01 UTC  

And I believe is in AUstralia.

2019-01-23 15:44:27 UTC  

rando question : do you think the current state of politics in the us will bring change in that there will be a third, fourth, fifht party instead of the big two ?

2019-01-23 15:44:54 UTC  

I believe the system would make that very difficult.

2019-01-23 15:45:05 UTC  

It is set up for two sides.

2019-01-23 15:45:24 UTC  

I think the fact that AOC and her following are so batshit insane might mean that they would eventually split off and form their own party

2019-01-23 15:45:31 UTC  

Other systems are set up for multi-party government.

2019-01-23 15:45:47 UTC  

The American is not.

2019-01-23 15:46:00 UTC  

Someone who understands better will be able to fill in why.

2019-01-23 15:46:23 UTC  

Even Australia's system trends to 2 parties

2019-01-23 15:46:37 UTC  

even if one is the coalition, but basically one party

2019-01-23 15:46:47 UTC  

Your only option is to take over one of the existing parties, as Trump (not a conservative/neo-con) did, and as AOC's wing is trying to do.

2019-01-23 15:47:51 UTC  

UKIP in the UK and to a lesser extent Pauline Hanson in AU had success in the 2 party system that saw some policy or electoral gains

2019-01-23 15:47:52 UTC  

a two party system in the country so adamant about preventing tyranny seems so ironic

2019-01-23 15:48:26 UTC  

the thing is it isn't a 2 party system inherently, but it trends to form 2 parties

2019-01-23 15:48:26 UTC  

This is why I said "might mean."

2019-01-23 15:48:58 UTC  

Like no one gives a fuck about the libertarians like gary johnson "what is aleppo"

2019-01-23 15:49:12 UTC  

and whoever ran in the U S for the green party

2019-01-23 15:49:38 UTC  

But at the same time AOC is going so far left that it almost feels like there are two schools of thought, the regular Dems and the AOCrazy Dems

2019-01-23 15:49:54 UTC  

i think the influence of AOC is overblown

2019-01-23 15:50:13 UTC  

she won a heavily democrat district in new york, a dead body would've done the job for the dems

2019-01-23 15:50:45 UTC
