As an excuse. As an excuse. You’ve never heard someone say “I’ve never heard that one before?” It’s a very common phrase. You should write it down, it’ll become useful sometime later for you, I’m sure.

But I’ll tell you what kills the labor rights movement way more effectively than strike breakers, militarized police victimizing picketers, and a private detective agency from the turn of the century that has since changed so much as to basically not exist in that function anymore, is never striking in the first place.

I swear to fuckin god, there is some insanely backwards thinking every single time a strike is brought up. And it’s almost uniform. But modern people have come to think of general strikes as a thing that’s just not possible anymore. They don’t need a modern day Pinkertons. They have you.
