Can anyone smarter than me explain how the government aims to create new pre-strike binding mediation legislation (which essentially removes striking as an active tool), yet claims that it will "never interfere with a worker’s right to bargain or to strike?" Because this seems, uh, bad!

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Four days after 9/11 a local bigot, Frank Roque, drove his Chevy pickup from a sports bar to a local gas station, shooting and killing Balbir Singh Sodhi because he was wearing a turban. This was one of multiple attacks by Roque, including shooting at an Afghani family and a gas station clerk.

This noxious bigot ranted repeatedly about immigrants and "Arabs" and bragged to an Applebee's waitress that he was going to go out and "shoot some towel-heads". When he was arrested he screamed that he was a patriot and that he stood by the USA all the way. Same dipshit mindset we see today.
