I'm sure the bougies were very annoyed to have their underpayed staff clean it up

No war but the class war. Every fight is the good fight in the class war.

Fertilizing a tree is a weird choice

So then the poor laborers working there have to clean up manure? Not the brightest idea.

"We can't do protest because the ultra-wealthy pay the working class to clean it up. I am very enlightened."

You literally can’t think of better ways to protest that wouldn’t involve people probably making less money than you picking up feces? That is sad and why this group and those you support will make no progress.
Lumisal@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 280d
Can you?
Or is boot licking the only trick you got?

Leftist dog whistles to distract from the fact that you’re just as bad as the other side forcing low paid laborers to clean up shit so you can play revolutionary and not even do a good job at that.
Lumisal@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 278d
Oh would you look at that, the little corporate stooge still didn't offer a better idea and continued licking boots, how surpriiiising

You need help if you actually think it would be difficult to come up with any number of better ways to protest
Lumisal@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 278d
Does that mean you need help? Since you have yet to come up with one here
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · -28 pts · 281d
How very smart and centrist of you.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 281d
The rich will absolutely get the message. If you always insist on being polite, you'll achieve nothing. The corporate media are very hard at work to paint any protest that's not timidly compliant as terrorism. We need to counter that narrative.

Using poor people as your pawns to make some edgy point using anima feces is worthy of a class war in itself. You’re not helping the poor. You’re helping the middle class, and just BARELY.
NeilBru@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 281d
They won't have to if they strike.
webadict@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 280d
But if they strike, the poor workers won't get paid!!! \s
Nalivai@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 280d
Yes, yes they wouldn't, and they will starve to death. In order for a strike to work, a union should be established, that feeds striking workers. But establishing union is hard, while writing snaking comments on the Internet is free and satisfying
venusaur@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 280d
That’s a crazy opinion. So just use them as your shit cleaning pawns? Such a privileged mindset.
NeilBru@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 280d
No, if they strike the owners will have to clean it up.
venusaur@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 280d
That’s such a privileged point of view. The people who are affected by this did not consent to being part of their shitty protest. They very likely could not afford (in more ways than one) to go on strike.
OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 280d
Please detail me a protest that disrupts the rich that cannot be cleaned up by the Rich's employees/servants/serfs

We can't expect god to do all the work.
venusaur@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 280d
Doesn’t have to be cow shit tho. There’s no foresight or empathy. You’re just making these poor laborers clean up after your protest that does nothing except make you feel good about yourself thinking you’re modern day Rosa Parks.
BanMe@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 280d
We're neighbors with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and lots of folks let their dogs use the lawn outside her gates as a toilet - and I'm not saying I have encouraged my dog, or taken photos of it, or made it my Christmas card last year - but it's been a topic, "should we all be letting our dogs shit on her lawn, since her lawn crew cleans it up?" Yeah, we should. But it was a good thought exercise.
venusaur@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 280d
So what you’re saying is it does nothing because she has people clean it up for her anyways. Nice.
BanMe@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 279d
I assure you it's been a topic in their house, especially since they use those front gates to receive people in tuxes and ballgowns.
Also people use the light poles across the street to post nasty paper memes about Sarah, sometimes they get left up for weeks because they're angled so the staff can't see them.
venusaur@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 278d
So effective
theneverfox@pawb.social · 6 pts · 280d
They could quit.
Or maybe they can't afford to quit, which is kinda why we need acts of protest
Nalivai@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 280d
So they will have to clean it, while the rich wouldn't even be informed
venusaur@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 280d
So have them clean manure until things change? Nice.
