    And the workers are certainly pro-capitalism because they make money from that too. /s

      In general people are in favor of the things that directly benefit them, yes, absolutely. Who would even assume otherwise?

        Why would you assume people agree with something they must do to eat?

          Why would you assume people agree with something they must do to eat?

          “Based on 2026 profit forecasts, that translates to average payouts of $460,000-$477,000 per worker”

          Yeah, that’s just barely enough to eat. 😂

          This isn’t about needing to eat, it’s about becoming as wealthy as Hynix workers. Did you even read the article?

            You said “in general.” You backtracking from that?

            But yes, weird as it was to accuse me of not reading the article, I also saw the people here discussing the improbability of your quote.

            But even if is true, it’s easy to play gatekeeper against the working class and to add extra divisions among them. It’s even easier to assume their beliefs. But you’re only serving their bosses.

              against the working class

              Highly paid specialists is not the working class. You clearly didn’t read the article and now try to weasel out of your uninformed comments.

              But you’re only serving their bosses.

              LOL. As if comments on Lemmy had any influence on strikes in South Korea.

                You’re the one who literally said “in general.”

                But please tell me about the pay bracket that makes people not working class…

                  You’re the one who literally said “in general.”

                  And I also literally said “directly benefiting”. Nice selective quoting you did there. “In general people are in favor of the things that directly benefit them”

                  So if people are directly benefiting from capitalism, these people are in favor of it. Not really a super hard concept to grasp, yet you keep struggling with that simple sentence.
