anti-strike hatred shows how far gone we are in caring for others and how self-centred we all are

[ItNeverGoesAway]

biggest train strikes in over 40 years going on rn in the UK. so much hatred levelled at those striking, hit pieces in the media, people literally foaming at the mouth to punish them.

people want others to be miserable and endure hardship quietly. very simply - a strike makes the worker's misery everyone's problem. as it should be. it used to be that an injury to one was an injury to all. there was a sense of solidarity and one big family community. now no one gives a fuck. same with personal struggles. you are meant to struggle on your own, don't speak up and inconvenience people.

Reminds me of the peaceful protests in my country which people complained were causing traffic jams. Yeah right, someone's literal livelihood or you reaching office 15 mins late? Tough titties.
