Happy Fake Labor Day to the Americans, because their government wants to hide real labor day from their citizens so they don't have to educate them about the Haymarket Affair.

Labor Day being in September is absolutely about erasing labor history. If more people knew labor history, more people would understand why All Cops Are Bastards.

I know landlords that work way fucking harder than I do, and I have a "real job". I get that a lot of landlords are assholes but in the end this is the system and some are playing the game as fairly as they can (being reasonable, very rarely raising rent, attending to maintenance themselves and in a timely manner) while others are cheating (not maintaining the property, raising rent, forcing tenants to sign burdensome leases, etc). Stop lumping them together.

I've found that on many Lemmy instances we got way too many people who find it much easier to just say all are assholes, there are NO exceptions!

Yeah I agree. Painting with a broad brush is something we all do, but my god people have some self awareness once in a while.

Is there a version of this with proper English? It doesn’t help the plight of the labourer to speak so poorly

just come out and say "with white English" and stop beating around the bush
