So then the poor laborers working there have to clean up manure? Not the brightest idea.

NeilBru@lemmy.world on 05 Dec 2025 06:16 next collapse

They won’t have to if they strike.

webadict@lemmy.world on 05 Dec 2025 18:34 next collapse

But if they strike, the poor workers won’t get paid!!! \s

venusaur@lemmy.world on 06 Dec 2025 03:46 collapse

That’s a crazy opinion. So just use them as your shit cleaning pawns? Such a privileged mindset.

NeilBru@lemmy.world on 06 Dec 2025 06:19 collapse

No, if they strike the owners will have to clean it up.

“We can’t do protest because the ultra-wealthy pay the working class to clean it up. I am very enlightened.”

How very smart and centrist of you.

venusaur@lemmy.world on 06 Dec 2025 03:47 collapse

You literally can’t think of better ways to protest that wouldn’t involve people probably making less money than you picking up feces? That is sad and why this group and those you support will make no progress.

Can you?

Or is boot licking the only trick you got?

venusaur@lemmy.world on 07 Dec 2025 16:03 collapse

Leftist dog whistles to distract from the fact that you’re just as bad as the other side forcing low paid laborers to clean up shit so you can play revolutionary and not even do a good job at that.

Lumisal@lemmy.world on 07 Dec 2025 16:19 collapse

Oh would you look at that, the little corporate stooge still didn’t offer a better idea and continued licking boots, how surpriiiising

venusaur@lemmy.world on 07 Dec 2025 16:36 collapse

You need help if you actually think it would be difficult to come up with any number of better ways to protest

Lumisal@lemmy.world on 07 Dec 2025 17:55 collapse

Does that mean you need help? Since you have yet to come up with one here

Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world on 05 Dec 2025 08:26 next collapse

The rich will absolutely get the message. If you always insist on being polite, you’ll achieve nothing. The corporate media are very hard at work to paint any protest that’s not timidly compliant as terrorism. We need to counter that narrative.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world on 05 Dec 2025 14:45 next collapse

Please detail me a protest that disrupts the rich that cannot be cleaned up by the Rich’s employees/servants/serfs

We can’t expect god to do all the work.

We’re neighbors with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and lots of folks let their dogs use the lawn outside her gates as a toilet - and I’m not saying I have encouraged my dog, or taken photos of it, or made it my Christmas card last year - but it’s been a topic, “should we all be letting our dogs shit on her lawn, since her lawn crew cleans it up?” Yeah, we should. But it was a good thought exercise.

venusaur@lemmy.world on 06 Dec 2025 05:30 collapse

So what you’re saying is it does nothing because she has people clean it up for her anyways. Nice.

BanMe@lemmy.world on 06 Dec 2025 14:20 collapse

I assure you it’s been a topic in their house, especially since they use those front gates to receive people in tuxes and ballgowns.

Also people use the light poles across the street to post nasty paper memes about Sarah, sometimes they get left up for weeks because they’re angled so the staff can’t see them.

So effective

I’m sure the bougies were very annoyed to have their underpayed staff clean it up

Fertilizing a tree is a weird choice

Nice.
