Comment on Epstein puts my morality into perspective
Auth@lemmy.world 6 days agoNo where did I blame victims. The original post made the claim that a lot of employers will refuse to pay. I said no a lot of employers wont do that because they would get sued out the ass. He said “if they think they can get away with it” which is a redundant statement, no employer who doesnt think they will get away with wage theft is going to still commit it. So then the original argument is still a lot of employers do not commit wage theft because they would get sued if they did. Employees should continue to take legal actions against employers who do not pay.
To think that employees standing up for their legal rights is victim blaming or licking capitalist boots is braindead.

This is literally victim blaming.
You literally do not understand the mechanisms behind systemic exploitation.
The original claim wasn’t that they will simply just “refuse to pay”, it is that they will take advantage of the convoluted system in order to exploit the vulnerable and desperate workers they are responsible for.
Trusting the legal system that was designed and run by capitalists to uphold the interest of workers is braindead bootlicking. Literally. Fuck off your naive bullshit.

No its not. Crime is not magically detected by the all seeing eye. If someone commits a crime against you then its in your best interest to report it because it sure wont be the criminal who is reporting it.
Even if this is what I said (which it isnt) that still doesnt give a reason why employees shouldnt seek legal recourse and it just proves what I am saying even more. IF employers were so confortable explotiing this system then the only reason that would be is because they dont expect the workers to take any action against them. You’re the only one here saying workers should take no action against their employer who is taking their wages. Actually in one of your comments you said they should “protest until the boss wont do it anymore” which is a terrible suggestion.
You’re intentionally trolling and im done feeding you.
