Every single ‘software engineer’ I know who has ever over-valued their own work over blue collar work has, without fail, turned out to be MAGAs or incels. They tend to be the people who have their self worth wrapped up in their compensation and status, and are quick to anger when transit workers or delivery drivers, who work long hours in ways that are taxing in every way, break their narrative for themselves
@skinnylatte Maybe instead of complaining they should join a union themselves?

@paraic @skinnylatte
Unions don't guarantee excellent treatment.

I am part of a union of supervisors on my job. They are weak, and the membership at large isn't much better. We get trampled on, and get worse contracts than those we supervise.

Ultimately, the power is in the workers. Weak workers lead to weak unions.
