The idea that protesters are 'idle' is strange. People are entitled to protest when they are dissatisfied. Peaceful assembly is a vital part of democracy. Amid the global rise of fascism and militarism, citizens must assert their constitutional rights while they still have them.
U know what pisses me off about the BPO job losses, the same “industry leaders” who hailed BPO as the future, are now just gonna pivot to “AI is the future” and continue to earn millions like they didn’t sell thousands of ppl a pipe dream and now they’re without jobs.
Not everyone has the time, money, or energy to organize, run, or build. Some people are just trying to feed their children and make it home safe. Survival isn't surrender, and it's no less patriotic. Their citizenship isn't conditional on activism.
I think that if a company forces me to do something, it shouldn't be at my own risk and they should be held accountable for any loss or damage that results, since they barred me from making other arrangements that may have been safer.
Nothing will ever convince me that being 12 years old, sitting on the floor of your bedroom, listening to music on a tiny CD player while flipping through a magazine wasn’t one of the most peaceful eras of human civilization.
@OliviaSinJa My mother would be sad and I can't have that. I'm still her baby and she tells me every day that she loves me. That's the only thing keeping me going. The day I can't hear her voice anymore, I'm clocking the hell out.
