In reply to the discussion: Classified US Intelligence Chat Rooms a 'Dumpster Fire' of Hate Speech, Says Ex-NSA Contractor [View all]Caliman73
(11,767 posts)44. No we/they do not.
Everything that was fought for and paid with blood from the Labor movement, to the Women's Rights movement, to the Civil Rights movements for Black people, Latinos, LGBTQ, etc... has shown some improvement and so younger people do not have a sense of what things were like before those movements moved the flag further, and that is the scary thing.
The Labor movement is basically a shell of what it was. People do not understand that having the weekend off and child labor were not too long ago. Company towns never really left, but are making a MAJOR comeback.
The rights of women and minorities are being eroded because they have all "gone too far". It is sad and scary.
