If you truly believe what I'm saying is skating the edges of Marxism, you have a mental disorder and you require treatment.
For my own conscious, I'm going to then assume you're being dishonest and don't really believe this.
What people need to realize is that we have two parties in the US: the ultra-capitalists, and the slightly-less-ultra capitalists. I'm not a communist because I'm advocating better working conditions.
> their working conditions were fine and appropriate for the job they were being asked to do
Okay. How do you figure this? You just pulled this out of your ass. Says who? And why?
Does their job require them to sit at one specific desk for 40 hours a week? No, and that's not up for debate. Therefore, their working conditions ARE NOT appropriate for their job.
If the cashier is required to stand on one leg, just for shits and giggles, is that appropriate? No, it's completely unnecessary.
Getting up from your computer, driving an hour, and then sitting down at another computer to do your job is just that - completely unnecessary. You gain nothing, and I do literally mean nothing. It's done purely for a sense of control and ego.

There is, but I mentioned earlier your own self-destructive attitude, and this is that.
You are of the same class. You may THINK you're leagues ahead, but you're really not. The reason you THINK you're leagues ahead is because that is advantageous for your employer.
Your employer is such an evil genius they have gotten you to not only not advocate better conditions for yourself, but actually argue you don't deserve better conditions. They don't have to do anything - they can just sit back, and you'll give them head, no questions asked.
I mean, do you really not see that? Here you are, literally advocating and fighting for things that are objectively worse for you. That's not normal behavior, something in your brain broke somewhere along the way.
