A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Well that's where we disagree then

So you think claiming that these terms were made up by the owning class in order to divide the working class is not a conspiracy theory? What is it then?

An ideology which serves the owners and is propagated by they and us, for reasons both cynical and genuine. But ultimately, I believe, serves the owners best.

I'll speak more plainly. No, It's not a conspiracy, it's an ideology

Oh, I see now. Can a conspiracy theory be an ideology then? Like I could agree that it's both an ideology (a weird one, how it serves the owning class, I have no idea) and a conspiracy theory. But I still don't see how it isn't a conspiracy theory.
