150 years ago some guy made advances in workers rights, and the best way we can honor him and that accomplishment is by never making another advance in workers rights! /s

I know that isn't your point, and I agree we shouldn't demonize him without bothering to know the context, but I couldn't help thinking this as a response.

Yeah, the tone of this thread is, "everyone needs to be more grateful."

The cruelty of the 19th century does not cancel out the cruelty of the 21st century.

I absolutely agree we should show gratitude, and I think the best way of showing gratitude is saying "this is no longer enough"
