Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

MODERATORS
Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth.
More than the CCP? More than Russia? More than North Korea? Please.
Yes. The difference is that its corporations doing the the majority of the propagandizing rather than the government directly. But propaganda is propaganda.
Maybe not North Korea, but the other two? Easily.
How can you possibly say that when the CCP exerts such tight control over the parts of the Internet mainlanders are allowed to see?
That's authoritarianism. You don't see the CCP edging closer to a civil war based on propagated polarising. AFAIK, that's never been achieved in human history. I'm sure it's unlikely to happen, but between all the international targeting from Russia, China, etc. and then the US's own media and governments, the US is soaked in propaganda more than anywhere else. Absolutely surrounded by it.
But this is the interesting part. The more someone is propagated, the less likely they are to realise it.
America doesn't even need to do that. It just convinces people to not trust anything that doesn't come from pre-approved sources and that works well enough.
That’s it - the stupidest thing I’ve read yet today
That is what a propagandized American would say ...
True.
