This is what they want for me, you, and our children and wouldn't hesitate a second to do it again provided the line goes up
There’s pictures of children in the Coal Breakers. Missing hands. That worked back breaking labor sorting coal from my home town. It’s disgusting what people did to their children for money. Coal fields buried many children.
They kind of had to otherwise the entire family would starve. It's fucked up, but right now the only reason I am stay afloat is because I live alone in a one room studio apartment with a communal bathroom. My mental health is kind of going to shit, but at least I get to eat.

This whole album is about that. It's totally fucked
I would rather mine Kentucky coal instead of Anthracite coal from my region in Pennsylvania. Anthracite mines are an entirely different way of mining. There’s a documentary I’ll look for on YouTube where the mine operator kills hi self after his cousin and nephews die in a collapse.
Charles Bronson grew up in a coal mining town. Even though everyone worked their asses off, still so poor he sometimes had to wear his sister's dress to school!
MAGA would have him arrested for that!
They would make dresses and clothing from flour bags. Flour companies recognized this and started shipping colorful bags for mothers to use.
Most of human history was like this. The 50 year period after WWII is the aberration. If we don't fight the oligarchs this is what they will reduce us to.
Most of human history...hmm checks notes... since the invention of capitalism about 400 years ago, yes.
Even serfs under feudal lords had significantly more free time and while basic child labor was common, it was mostly in family run farms.
Instructions unclear, reverted to feudalism, defended literal, inherited pile of manure with violence
Pre-industrial societies still expected children to work from young ages. And they would often switch to adult labour in their early teens.
Ya preindustrial society was all kinds of fucked up. That comment was unhinged.
This is why I get so fucking mad at the tradwife Tiktok people, who go "Oh feminists are forcing you to go to work, I miss the good old days!"
Like no you fucking don't, in the "good old days" since the industrial revolution anyone who wasn't rich had to work their ass off in shit conditions, including women and children. These people never read The Jungle (that shit was horrifying in middle school, and I only read an excerpt), or saw the pictures of coal kids, or the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire back in 1911 that killed 100+ women and girls.
You get to pose for the camera with a full face of makeup and hold your soccer team of kids because your husband is rich and thinks you're hot. Full stop.
Worst part about the Triangle Waistshirt factory fire is that the owners actually chained the exits and many of the fire exits were so poorly maintained that when the workers tried to escape using them, they collapsed and many fell to their deaths... and when a lawsuit was filed, somehow the judge believed that the whole thing was a whiny conspiracy and they ruled in favor of the owners.
I'm right there with you. Women have always worked and the 50's housewife in the US is a historical blip that women fought to escape.
No, you are wrong and need to understand why.
The ability to have that 50's housewife was due to a single earner economy. You could be a bagboy at a supermarket and support a family of three ... possibly even own your own home.
This was taken away. Perspective
You're not responding to my comment, just throwing in your extremely simplistic agenda. Your suburban american 50's dream was a blip in time and space that is meaningless to most people.
Edited to add: The labor force participation rate for women in the US in 1955 was 34.5%. Women even worked in the 50's. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300002
don't use tiktok
I never did and I hate the app, this is just the shit I see from Youtubers who cover awful/interesting trends on Tiktok.
I'd rather burn every city to the fucking ground than rob any of our children of their childhood. Catch my kids standing outside with the molotovs.
This but also stop them from robbing our adulthoods
Catch my kids standing outside with the molotovs.
I can assure you they were doing no such thing. They were dogsitting for me. And reading white-Jesus books.
If the parents are made poor enough, this will come back. Just in case you don't know why they kill social security.
And this photo shows a group of child laborers going in for a 12-hour night shift at a meat packing plant in Kansas, 2025. Just kidding, they will not make the mistake of allowing photography this time around.
Orphan grinding machine goes brrrr....
Conservatives: Won't somebody think of the children?!
Subtext: as slave labor or sex objects or ideological battlefields or...
And just like the guard on a a meat grinding machine at a packing plant, the law doesn't stop them from sucking in minors

Flashlight photo of children on night shift going to work at 6 PM on a cold dark December night.
Work shift lasts all night, 12 hours.
They do not come out again until 6:00 AM

Thank you so much for the link. The clearer image shows the girl at the door has her hand on her hip. I was afraid it might've been a stump. Which could have happened if it were caught in the machinery, though she'd likely have bled to death or been unemployable and starved.
Capitalism Demands Your Sacrifice!
First quarter over quarter GDP gains have been less than expected. We have to look to out of the box solutions, and this blue sky strategy looks like it may show promise. I'll forward this memo up to corporate.
This is the “great” MAGA wants again.
