Shameless fuckers took away the shade from protesters and claimed it’s what they always do.

    From their point of view the union and strike are evil because it keeps people from working and hurts the economy. They think people want to work and SAG is making actors strike. I’m no longer surprised when people justify atrocities, it’s who we are.

      I mean, people generally do want to work, actors included. They just don’t want to be mercilessly exploited while they’re at it.

        I hate the phrase “people want to work”

        Only in the twisted context we act like is default is it true.

        People want to have good food, socialize, play, and be comfortable. We work to make those things happen. Some people are lucky enough to make money doing something they already enjoy somewhat, but that isn’t common or something that can be expected. 90% of people, at least, if given the option to do whatever they like and still have their needs met, would not choose to “work” in the way that we do now.
