    First I had to look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory

    It's a sociological model with, like many models, many excellent points, but not the complete picture.

    Example: "it argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors."

    While I agree social structures and culture have the most influence on people, let's not forget the power of the individual be it Trump, Lee Harvey Oswald, MLK or Jesus.

    Corporations and military units fall under "societal structures". They each have distinct personalities that can only be slightly altered by a new CEO or Commanding Officer, but not totally changed since the structure itself is self-regenerating to a large extent.

    This joke helps exemplify the point:

    “Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it.

    Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

    As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkeys with cold water.

    After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result; all the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.

    Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs.

    To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him.

    After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

    Again, replace a third original monkey with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well.

    Two of the four monkeys that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

    After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, all the monkeys that have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs.

    Why not?

    Because as far as they know that’s the way it’s always been around here.

    And that’s how company policy begins …”

    I like how you just openly and proudly admitted that racial slurs are exclusively the province of the right-wing.

    It depends, wet monkey who got the shit beat out of him.

    What is the problem and what is the solution. In the case of the story, it's avoiding a treat to avoid getting wet. If they were starving, then getting wet is just part of the hardship. In their case, it wasn't worth the effort.

    Presently, in many parts of the country, Americans jobs have been reduced to service jobs and service jobs are not career jobs. Anyone who thinks they can retire with a college fund for their children working as a burger flipper is a fucking moron.

    Notice too that the cost of living is not the same across the USA. Why apply a mandatory minimum wage across one of the world's largest nations and a population of over 328M people when all it does is kick the can down the road?

    IMO, the problem isn't minimum wage,the problem low paying jobs. The Republican party has spent the last 50 years destroying unions AKA the freedom of assembly by American workers. The RWNJs will spin all the horror tales of Unions-gone-bad, but what they won't spin is what unions have done for American workers. In addition, American textile workers can't compete with Third World shithole workers. Americans need to train for future jobs like coders, computer techs and medical jobs.

    FWIW, I think public sector unions need to be corralled better but private sector unions have been decimated and in serious need of reinvigoration.

    Obviously all you want to do is bitch, whine and moan like a child. Did you even read the links? How come you're too stupid and ill-educated to formulate an adult reply?

    Are you choosing to remain ignorant or is it that you are unable to learn because of personal malformities?

    I asked a simple question. why do you say service jobs aren't career jobs? is low salary part of the reason? nice circular reasoning.

    if you're upset that you're a vacuous elitist judgemental brainwash victim, that's on you.

    I gave you a complex but fairly full answer and all you had was insults and childish bullshit.

    Enjoy your career in the fast food industry, kid.

    I guess I should define "slur"...

    A slur is a word that "insults" an entire group of people though it may be used in the context at one person.

    Things that are slurs would include (this list is not all inclusive) racial epithets, homophobic epithets, Transphobic epithets. The moderation team will have to use their own judgement. Not every insult is a "slur".

    Now, please understand that this rule is about thread titles only.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
