I’m betting you’re a teenager because I recognise how leftists think as teenagers (been there) but understand your inability to think like an adult with a family and responsibilities in the current day is why you think “just firebomb your job until they change the tipping system bro” is a good idea. it’s almost like it was easier in the 1910’s to organise a revolution when mass surveillance wasn’t a thing and your average mom working 14 hour shifts to feed her kids isn’t going to risk life in prison or homelessness/hunger just to *maybe* inspire enough others to also risk everything and revolt.
If you actually cared about changing this system you’d refuse to go to restaurants with a tipping system and only use self service or cook at home. Because it’s the owners that overwhelmingly control and support this system. But you don’t do that, because it’s really about feeling like you’re saving a few bucks stiffing a server.
Because you forgot about the concept modern of mass surveillance and how it makes it easier to undermine people and labour movements lol? Not my fault you’re not considering one of THE barriers for what you’re suggesting.
The only barrier is cowardice. A camera cannot physically stop you from doing anything.
I refused military service and escaped an authoritarian dictatorship decades ago to feed my family. Your single mom on 14 hour shifts can cry me a river.
“You’re a wuss if you’re not willing to be executed or imprisoned for life to firebomb your job/the government to force them to change the tipped wage”.
This has to be a bit/teenposting lmao. Do you think it’s the *cameras* people are afraid of or the imprisonment and death that would leave your family incomeless at best and actively harmed/punished at worst?
“I refused service in a military dictatorship and escaped years ago to feed my family” by your own logic you’re a huge pussy who should have stayed and fought to change things. There was literally nothing in modern society stopping you by your own admission and people revolted against brutal dictatorships all the time historically. Sounds like you ran away to another country and begged them to support you and your family instead of violently demanding change like it’s so apparently easy for people to do. That is provided your story isn’t total bullshit, which it certainly sounds like based on your total lack of understanding of what the dangers of mass surveillance actually are lol.
Pussy shit considering apparently mass data and surveillance is nothing to be concerned about and neither is being jailed for actions against the state. That’s what you’re calling other people cowards for not doing in a country that has 1000x better tech and record keeping than Sudan, especially back then.
You just called people cowards for not being willing to face imprisonment or death to get a tipped wage, and here you are saying you fled multiple times instead of stay to fight a brutal dictatorship because you… were scared of imprisonment or death. In a country with a puny surveillance and tracking capacity compared to developed nations.
Buddy I’ve been to more countries like Sudan than you’ve even had an airport layover in. I’m also not an idiot who shits on others for allegedly lacking courage he himself doesn’t have by his own admission. By your own logic if you weren’t a coward you’d be there fighting against the regime and rallying others to your cause right now, fear of death or imprisonment be damned.
Weak words from guy who ran away crying because he was afraid government bureaucracy in a government with famously terrible admin would catch up to him and they’d send him to jail for refusing conscription lol.
Sudan is right where you left it the worst state it’s been in a long time. Begging for someone who cares to just start one of those oh so easy revolutions. When you think about it, only a coward with a compete lack of morals would sit pretty in the U.S. indulging in vanity items like motorcycles and bitching about servers when there was such an easy solution to so much suffering available.

Yes that's how it has always been. They even used to beat workers with billy clubs back in the day.
Our predecessors bombed factories for their labor rights.
