      This is a weird take to me. Why should we not idolize and revere workers who do critical labor on which our society depends? I understand objecting to the lack of idolization for other forms of labor. But to say that you dont afford respect and admiration to workers performing any labor is odd.

        Why would you idolize anyone? To err is human; we all have flaws and just because you have a fancy profession does not mean you are a good person.

          I moreso meant that I think glorifying the labor of working class people in general is a good thing. Not any one particular form of labor, just all forms of labor in general. Of course all people have flaws and are imperfect, I never suggested otherwise.

          I’m not a Marxist-Leninist, far from it, but I do appreciate broad strokes the art they made glorifying the labor of the working class. Even though they constantly disrespected workers and acted against their rights, they nominally fostered a culture that glorified the labor done by workers every day. I think that on the whole is a good thing. I think it’s good to show a reverence for workers of all types.

        I respect workers by wanting them to get their fair share of the labor.

        I don’t need to start rating people based on their profession and denigrating most workers for not having these auraful jobs.

      I do not understand why people do that for jobs that what, how many, 100’000? have.
