A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

MODERATORS
The terminology still engrandises them instead of shaming them as the greedy pr*cks they are.
Aggrandises. Engrandise isn't a word.
And calling them elites is fine. For them it massages their collective ego for us it is a mocking statement.
Sarcastic and ironic comments are fine until they're not.
Most people don't pick up on sarcasm about "elite", though, and only stupid people insist on communicating with things easily misunderstood.
Poe's Law offers more wisdom than most people realize.
You see the problem here though right? You're assuming limited capacity in others to acknowledge the world as itb really is and yet you can't even acknowledge that you used a made up word to convey an idea.
What makes you think you're smarter than the average person?
All words are made up. What makes you think pointing out something related to the language I use could possibly ever dismiss the logical point I made about how that language is interpreted?
YOU are the one using a word to mean something that most people do not think of when they hear that word. You are the one failing to understand the concept of communication.
That's an entirely specious argument. You used a word that doesn't exist. Not because you're style grand explorer, making your way through culture by experimenting with language but because instead you're a pseudointellectual.
Wanker.
How about you attack my point instead of being a petulant little prick upset at someone smarter than you?
Your point was attacked only you're so egotistical that it doesn't register. And you're not smart, let alone smarter than me.
Keep telling yourself that, bud. It won't make you right.
