Hi all, I was thinking about how the youtube algorithm has allowed me to generally find good leftist content of all sorts which exposes the fucked up situation we the wage workers (the people). I´ve also recently started to wonder which ones I´ve missed, or that have been omitted by any other biases, personal or otherwise. Who do you follow on youtube/instagram/twitch/etc. with a leftist point of view, who might help a person make the transition between just general anger against the establishment to a channeled righteous political rage and mobilization? Who would you recommend? I think we all need to become as aware of our current situation in the wonderful world of capitalism as we can, and hopefully bring about a change in how people think about and do politics If I may start with a suggestion, I think the work of Dr. Richard Wolff is indispensable to understand…

I found out soon after that every dude at the store got their raises at the scheduled time and none of the women did. Talk to your coworkers about your salary, esp. if you’re a woman!

Not sure exactly where this belongs, but isn't this illegal at some level? It's definitely immoral, especially as she works in a RESTAURANT, but I'm not sure if there's any recourse.

here's a fun little experiment to try with your friends and family . simply ask them “what's the job description of a landlord” . usually they'll either have no idea what to say because , it's not a real job . because , let's be real . they have more in common with tape worms than the actual working class , living paycheck to paycheck . another response tends to be something like “owning land” . which , yeah ? so do a lot of other people , and they're not getting paid for it . they just rely on other people's income , and use it for their own benefit . i'm honestly curious if anyone has done this , and to share the responses people have given to that question . because most if not all people i've asked have only given those two responses . it's honestly…
