What ever happened to those cool yacht-sinking orcas?

Yeah, I did a little googling but didn’t come up with much more than you did. My guess is that the claims of misunderstanding were part of whatever agreements they reached to drop the case. If it was something like loli hentai he could probably still worm his way out of criminal charges even post discovery.

if the audience is mostly left or left leaning then you're doing fine. id still tone it down slightly, just to cast a wider net.

if you're looking for a place to start: set up a private group chat and invite a few co workers you think would be most interested and trustworthy. that would be a good place to share something like this brochure. slowly invite more people, discuss who you think would be interested, what you want out of a union, post minion memes about how your boss sucks. try to keep it mostly ephemeral and anonymous; no printed documents, no records. even if you think management isn't likely to fight you, its best to keep them locked out as much as possible until the union forms. this is the process a few of the dispensaries in vegas went through to get unionized.

i admittedly have only read the wikipedia summary to refresh my memory but it doesn't mention any proof that it wasn't CP, and frames that as a claim by Pitchford himself who also claimed that the reason he had the porn was to study their porn tricks for his stage magic so im not exactly inclined to believe anything he claims about it.

i don't know what your workplace is like or your coworkers, but if they're just normal americans with no familiarity or instilled antipathy toward unions/communism then i would probably pull back a bit on the class war rhetoric. i would focus almost entirely on the concrete benefits they will personally enjoy from union membership, then use that as a bridge to discuss the sociopolitical aspects once the union is implemented.

i feel like most americans will reject the medicine unless you wrap in a slice of cheese first. either way, good luck!

its pretty fucking incredible that he's still around after leaving a flash drive full of CP lying in a medieval times. the dumb shit that comes out of his mouth constantly is really just icing on that cake.

This is the guy that intentionally doxxed himself after posting some edgy calls for violent resistance, got evicted because his landlord was tired of getting death threats on the property, and throughout it all maintained his very stupid position that eviction lawyers overcomplicate eviction proceedings.

Dying to lick the very same boot that tossed him out into the streets for bullshit reasons. I want to call him pathetic but I’m not entirely convinced this isn’t a humiliation fetish.

get killed by righteous vigilantes or sued into ruin by your own shareholders for abandoning your fiduciary duty to generate profit from misery. which way healthcare CEOs?

Remember that the only reason that act got passed is that they shot MLK and got worried that black people, as a whole, might literally revolt.

this man has invented severance for houses.

the only thing he was ever right about got him fired.

maybe "what did I ever do" is a genuine question given his apparent mental state.
