The presence of union organisers on Libcom

Submitted by Alan on 26 April, 2008 - 22:22.

If they're gonna be allowed to stay here, can they please have in their taglines: "SEIU union organiser" or whatever, so people can be aware of that before entering into debate with them? I mean, considering how their role on here is (in general terms) to defend their employers against revolutionary arguments and activities.

Brilliant idea, let's give them Yellow Stars as well.

I think anyone with a 10 inch or bigger cock should have to state it.Maybe even a huge cock icon next to their name.

Does that count the deleted posts or are those totally dissapeared like if libcom was nazi germany or something?

I reckon it's more like Trotsky being airbrushed off the Kremlin balcony, or the thousands who were "disappeared" by repressive regimes in Latin America. Not sure if you wear glasses or not, but if you do, it could be like Libcom Year Zero, in the killing fields of the Feedback forum.

Dude. Thats my favorite Pol Pot reference of all time. I just kinda like saying "this is year zero" over and over again.

Thug

Similar post count to mine, year zero boy. cool

27 April, 2008 - 20:03

I only have 80 or so posts because my union doesn't allow me to fuck around all day on the internet

27 April, 2008 - 20:19

be careful or they will accuse you of domestic violence in retaliation for that statement.

27 April, 2008 - 21:39

damn i only have half of duke's posts

27 April, 2008 - 22:03

He's only got 1500 less than me, and I joined in 2004. eek

27 April, 2008 - 22:52

In all seriousness (fuck, no way this can end well), don't people think that it's relevant to understand the sectarian loyalties of these hacks when the discussion is about their union racket?

27 April, 2008 - 23:04

I do.

But since it's the seppoes that keep the boards moving nowadays (and since a fair few of them are the shoeshine boys of the labour lieutenants of capital) I can't see it happening any time soon.

See, something like that...perhaps if you can manoevre it into an SEIU acronym...

27 April, 2008 - 23:51

When I saw this, I shat bricks.

Can we somehow indicate who has white skin privilege too? I mean, considering how their role on here is (in general terms) to defend settler society against revolutionary arguments and activities.

But we don't want to make you overcompensating tough guys feel inferior (more than you do already).

The difference being that that's bollocks.

"the shoeshine boys of the labour lieutenants of capital"

I support this. At least thugarchist has some useful posts on other subjects. Some of the other posters like onthemarch seem mostly to post to get the "party" line out there.

As a first generation Irish American I find the above comment to be racist. The Irish Curse is a myth (same with the Jewish Blessing)

Meh. Most of our discussion on the subject was working through your misunderstandings of specific documents and their timelines and involved zero political content whatsoever.

Anyhoo, my current tagline should just about cover things I'd think. wink

So answering factual misinformation without political bias is the problem? I thought bias was the problem. Y'all gotta make up your mind at some point.

Since when do Catch and me have to agree? Fuck man...you're too used to dealing with sectarians.

Although I'd say we're both right, the point is your role is to defend SEIU however you see fit, including encouraging digressions, throwing around insults, ad hom attacks on other posters...it's relevant to be aware of your job description when the topic is SEIU itself.

And incidentally you need a new trick: the whole Yank thing of repeating insults sarcastically via taglines etc in an attempt to neutralise them is running outta steam.

Yes. Quite. SEIU is so horribly concerned about a couple a wobs in the U.S. and 1 libertarian communitst from the UK (currently in Mexico I hear) they've sent me to disrupt your revolushun. Its certainly not possible that whatever I say might just be my actual opinion.

29 April, 2008 - 10:01

I kinda agree with Alan on this one, I don't think it goes for all full timers though, just the ones who seem overly interested in pushing the views of said organisation. I mean take this thread for example http://libcom.org/forums/feedback-content/targeted-union-rep-26042008 . he's already brought up some random union trivia only a few posts in, now i'm sure he's not going to derail the thread but its a pretty good example of why if your going to be a union full timer here who tows the line in the fashion duke does having an tagline that says he's an employee of the SEIU.
