This is what they want for me, you, and our children and wouldn’t hesitate a second to do it again provided the line goes up

Most of human history was like this. The 50 year period after WWII is the aberration. If we don’t fight the oligarchs this is what they will reduce us to.
Most of human history…hmm checks notes… since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.
Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.
Pre-industrial societies still expected children to work from young ages. And they would often switch to adult labour in their early teens.
Ya preindustrial society was all kinds of fucked up. That comment was unhinged.
Right, but the industrial revolution wasn’t the mark of the start of this. The end of Feudalism is what they’re pointing towards. And they’re not arguing for Feudalism either, but rather that we should do neither capitalism nor Feudalism
I’d rather burn every city to the fucking ground than rob any of our children of their childhood. Catch my kids standing outside with the molotovs.
This but also stop them from robbing our adulthoods
Catch my kids standing outside with the molotovs.
I can assure you they were doing no such thing. They were dogsitting for me. And reading white-Jesus books.
If the parents are made poor enough, this will come back. Just in case you don’t know why they kill social security.
When I was a kid, my parents would wax poetically about their summers spent picking strawberries and green beans earning 25 cents a day in California Central Valley. They loved it, apparently.
Good, honest work they told me. Then as I got older they demanded I attend college and get a white collar career established, lol.
Let me wax in: I picked cherries as a kid. Not for poetry, though, but to make some money for myself.
And this photo shows a group of child laborers going in for a 12-hour night shift at a meat packing plant in Kansas, 2025. Just kidding, they will not make the mistake of allowing photography this time around.
Orphan grinding machine goes brrrr…
And just like the guard on a a meat grinding machine at a packing plant, the law doesn’t stop them from sucking in minors
Stop showing this shit, Republicans can only get so hard…
Sorry, couldn’t tell…

Flashlight photo of children on night shift going to work at 6 PM on a cold dark December night.
Work shift lasts all night, 12 hours.
They do not come out again until 6:00 AM

Thank you so much for the link. The clearer image shows the girl at the door has her hand on her hip. I was afraid it might’ve been a stump. Which could have happened if it were caught in the machinery, though she’d likely have bled to death or been unemployable and starved.
This is the “great” MAGA wants again.
Capitalism Demands Your Sacrifice!

First quarter over quarter GDP gains have been less than expected. We have to look to out of the box solutions, and this blue sky strategy looks like it may show promise. I’ll forward this memo up to corporate.
My 13 year old kid whines when I maker her clean up her dishes
So childhood poverty was handled?
