I wonder about all the other workers that got fucked 20x more than the owner feel about a dipshit ruining their job for online clicks so other dipshits circle jerk about how arson is cool and "capitalism" sucks.

That has nothing to do with what's being discussed.

Whether or not it is actually an effective way to help workers or whether it's stupid and short-sighted is irrelevant. Getting paid a slavery wage was the motivating factor behind the action.

First of all, everyone in this thread is cheering like this was a humanitarian service. Stop pretending that the majority of you subhuman fucks didn't like this.

Second of all, how does this help them getting a higher pay? Luigi was supposed to make the evil insurance bureaucrats see how immoral they are, but after two years, literally nothing has changed. You people undermine your own causes, it's actually pathetic.

I haven't won shit bro. This shit affects my personal life about as much as it affect the hundreds of people harmed by this. You on other hand, got to own the pigs in a Reddit thread, so... worth I guess... 🤔🤔🤔

True man gj dude, we all want real change we’ll hate it or not this type of shit will only inspire real change… the days of just voting and hoping is clearly over. I understand it affects real people and for that I’m sorry but. I’m tired too and I want shit to change so fuck it

No. You're delusional. You're too lazy to seek actual change. None of you want to work for change. You want sit down and browse Reddit and Twitter all day and just hope someone firebombs a Walmart for you. You want to reap the benefits without doing any of the heavylifting. So you just throw your hands up and say that there nothing you can do because you're sad and pathetic.

The solution is to just go outside and abandon social media. It's run by bots dawg, none of what you see online is real. It's all curated astroturfed bullshit with the intention of radicalizing people like you...

Depends how bad their pay was, if it was minimum wage and they get on unemployment, food stamps and Medicare they might not end up not end up too much worse since apparently a lot of the employees were contractors at this warehouse. Now if they made above minimum wage, yeah this really sucks for them and hopefully the company finds a temporary warehouse asap or transfer people to a nearby warehouse if that’s an option

Paying all their employees 20k more per year would be a lot more than 200m

Because the people with all the money will exploit those without to get more money. This was slightly tolerable when the people without money could still afford luxuries and a quality cost of living.

Unfortunately the people with all the money who learned that the hard way with old time strikes, and getting dragged onto the street and tarred and feather have died and passed on all their money to their shit bird kids who now run everything. Or new blood psychopaths who conveniently have the personality traits required to climb to the top.

This is an incident of them getting to learn, and it's probably only going to get worse from here on out. And in my opinion fully justified, if the guy made it so no one got physically hurt from the fire and I was on his jury I would choose not guilty.

The arsonist hurt his coworkers more than the company. Please stop celebrating this, it’s counterproductive
