US Labor Day literally exists to erase real Labor Day, 1 May, which commemorates the Haymarket Affair.
fun fact! they rebranded may day to "loyalty day"!
things you do when you're definitely not the evil empire of the day
Yeah, Labor Day was created after the bloody Pullman(?) Strike basically as a way to distract from May Day
It was a general strike for the 8 hour day
To mock us, I've never had it off
Well, of course not. It's not called No Labor Day.
Same reason we name military hardware after the native americans put to genocide, to mock us.
cause theyre dabbing on us
The only people that get it off are the petit bourgeoisie and small business tyrants
Idk, controlled release is easier to manage than outright oppression
It has a labor day so that it doesn't have a may day
I wonder what percentage of Americans think Labor Day is for celebrating the troops. I bet it's a number that would cause me grievous psychic damage.
You know when your dog won't shut up, so you toss it a bone-shaped piece of nylon so you can keep playing video games?
It's like that.
