You’re adding a lot of baggage (pun intended) to my comments. I’ve said several times this isn’t the “right” thing to do, and I don’t think this is how all low wage workers think or act all or even most of the time. But these guys got filmed at their worst, and the comment section is completely oblivious to any awareness of class consciousness or workers rights, or the bigger picture in general. It’s just, “fuck these poors, they just like to act like animals for no apparent reason”. If these guys are pissed, there is probably a reason, and it probably has something to do with how they are treated, how they are compensated, and how much money the airlines make compared to them. Most people are pretty decent most of the time, no matter how the world treats them. Sometimes the struggle gets you down and you slam a bag on a conveyer belt. Rough baggage handling vs massive income inequality. I know where my concern lies.

You are one of those self-righteous people that makes the labor movement look bad. Stop defending this shit in the name of labor rights, they do not and should not be representative of our purpose. People are not mad because they’re poor, they’re mad because that behavior is unacceptable. Fuck you for actively damaging our cause.
