All I see out there are gay rights, trans rights, whatever parades.
And people actually show up. like wth. given that it’s 5% population max.

Where are the worker rights parades?
US workers are 80% of the population (sans elderly, kids and disabled).
Why is noone doing it? Why is noone organizing Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear”?

Why does US east coastline still owned by billionaires and we have to ask permission to walk on that sand?
Where is healthcare for all?
Where are bike lines?
Why dont we nationalize and own the oil fields in US?
Where are mandatory 1 month vacations? (even fucking China has them). ?

Lots of people would march for those demands.

Wt guys? just fucking why?

    A couple reasons:

    1. Most people are not emotionally invested in their job, the way they are with their identity.
    2. People are afraid that demonstrating will either cost them their job directly, or move them to the front of the line for the next ‘layoffs’
    3. Income inequality causes infighting.
    4. Small Business owners are often the first group to feel pain from workers rights, and major corps are last.
    5. Lobbiests, politicians, and major (social) media networks working together to suppress the movement.

    There are other reasons too, and none of them are ‘good’ reasons, but they are all realities.
