If a democratic president ever stepped in to stomp a labor strike and side against the union, that would be Reagan levels of damage and stupidity.

thats a phenomenal way to lose a HUGE voter base.
Biden has literally done this exact thing, for what it's worth.

You tell me, I dont want people working shitty repetitive jobs for crazy long hours unlike yourself,
Gee, I wonder if someone would rather have a good-paying job with benefits or no job at all. Very hard fucking decision to make for anyone that isn't a complete moron.

Automation on the other hand cannot be exploited.
No shit. What an amazing idea. We can eliminate worker exploitation by replacing them with robots that can't be exploited. Your labor can't be exploited if you don't have a job I guess. Fucking brilliant.

These are the people hanging like anchors around the necks of society. Completely dissociated from the working class or any modicum of class consciousness. It's a drag.

its so funny see liberals genuinely confused as to why blue collar people vote Republican when we also preach the narrative that all their jobs are skilless, that our prices are high because theyre paid too much, and that they all just need to learn to do something else because theyre the one hampering progress.
I don't think Prismblade is a liberal, but yes I do entirely agree with your observation here.

Does it? Why does exploiting the working class benefit greater society as a whole?

You're full of shit anyway. I guaran-fucking-tee you don't take this stance when it comes to other essential elements of life. Just when it means screwing some honest dockworkers out of a fair wage.

When people ask about how to decrease inflation, automation of supply chain bottlenecks next is literally one of the ways to do it.
Yet, still pushback.
Funny how the cure for inflation puts more money in the pockets of the bourgeoisie while screwing over the people who actually do the work. Why can't we find a solution that doesn't screw over the working class?

If you cant see well enough to read a label, maybe popping random pills isnt the best move.
Did you know that some pills are made with raised bumps and other tactile markers so visually impaired people can differentiate them? If they can do it to the pills themselves, why can't they also do it for the labels? Seems sensible.

I think a lot of people suspend their disbelief while watching a show.
That's not really the same thing. "Suspension of disbelief" is important in theater, where the artifice is often fully visible to the audience. They suspend their disbelief because they can see that the play isn't real, but they buy the reality of it anyway, because of verisimilitude. With magic, the artifice is hidden. If you have to suspend your disbelief in a magic show, the magician did not properly conceal their methods.
