I used to hang out with a few rednecks. Good people, but absolutely indoctrinated. Union workers who didn’t know the history of unions.
We got drunk around a bonfire one night and I started talking about solidarity, unions, workers rights, labor value, personal / private / public property, etc, etc.
By 3am, we were talking about seizing the means of production. If we’d had a few cases of s’mores schnapps, we could’ve changed history
I hung out with the warehouse guys at my job and one of them talked about how good his wife’s nurses union was. I agreed with him, and made a joke about the warehouse guys unionizing.
A few of them got really upset, and couldn’t explain why they were upset. They just kept saying “We didn’t understand”. Like brother, right now - there’s nothing stopping the company from firing you… I think you don’t understand.

It’s like that all around people mostly agree on things or at least want to work together. The problem is our “Leaders” don’t want any part of that.
