My intention was not to express anger, wokeyness, etc. but I can see why that might be interpreted here. I identify qualities of myself in the author. So this isn't misplaced rage, more of a plea packaged as contempt to cut through this internet posturing we all do in this public place. +1'ing / sandwiching critique with agreeable statements is more of the same social network bullsh*t that I come here to escape from. I have no idea how to speak candidly to a complete stranger, this was my best attempt.
Unions? I'm all for them as a means to fix inequity, but not for me. That's my personal choice, and a privileged one at that. They certainly address the worker's rights aspect conversation that is worth talking about.
The article is an artifact of a personal experience, not necessarily an artifact of worker rights--or perhaps that's what I'm doing--trying to provide unambiguous insight to author that they a̶r̶e̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ could be called out and tragically misunderstood. The internet can be brutal, no good deed goes unpunished. Also, I wonder how the author feels about unions?
All that written, my comment was a crude attempt to showcase that their attempt to connect with this community was undermined by the stank of their privilege. There are more elegant ways to obviate the smell of privilege, and to reach the intended audience (which I assume is every one of us).
