All I see out there are gay rights, trans rights, whatever parades.
And people actually show up. like wth. given that it’s 5% population max.

Where are the worker rights parades?
US workers are 80% of the population (sans elderly, kids and disabled).
Why is noone doing it? Why is noone organizing Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear”?

Why does US east coastline still owned by billionaires and we have to ask permission to walk on that sand?
Where is healthcare for all?
Where are bike lines?
Why dont we nationalize and own the oil fields in US?
Where are mandatory 1 month vacations? (even fucking China has them). ?

Lots of people would march for those demands.

Wt guys? just fucking why?

    While the cold war is passing out of living memory, the chill that it left on American leftism for the better part of 100 years is hard to overstate.

    The Cold War ended in 1991, what are you talking about?

      Basically, the cold war was already starting to wind down in the 80s and late 70s. We were comfortable enough that we’d won the Cold war that Reagan embarked us on the 40 year project of strip-mining worker benefits and social welfare programs. The most culturally aggressive aspects of the cold war happened during the mid-60s.
