This sums up right wing protesters

[tulipsandroses]

I saw this on Daily Kos and I completely agree


“people aren’t out protesting to be waitresses and hairdressers again. People are out demanding that waitresses and hairdressers go back to work. The idea is to force the service industry to serve them despite the risk to the servers.

If you’ve ever wondered what modern white america would think about slavery today consider the white women yelling and screaming because no one will die to do their frosted bangs. They feel every bit as entitled to own the lives of others as they did 150 years ago.”

1. Exactly. Those clamoring for "opening the economy" are

clamoring for serfdom at best. These people are brainwashed nutjobs for which, it seems, there is no hope.

2. I wish someone would ask one of them..

what work they do, that is more important than life.

[KPN]

4. As simple as that.

3. My father was drafted into the military, armed, and sent across the ocean

To fight fascism in a world war before he graduated from high school. These soulless pricks can’t manage to stay in their cozy homes and eat crap all day.
Talk about selfish little snowflakes.

5. I share your sentiment.

11. Along the same lines

I keep thinking about our parents and/or grandparents that not only went to war, but those that stayed home. Victory gardens, rationing not only household staples but also gasoline, rubber, coal, even shoes. Women left their homes to go work in factories to keep the war effort going. Many sacrifices for the common good, and these boobs today can't just cooperate with such simple requests to help save lives. So selfish, it's pathetic.

6. No truer words.

7. Unfortunately

my wife became one of those. Needless to say, home is not very pleasant anymore.

19. Sorry, hugs.

23. Thank you

8. Ouch.

And yep.

9. When states are declared safe to open unemployment ends.

Restaurants and other businesses will be forced to open as the insurance that covers their closing due to situations like this will no longer be in effect.
If customers don't come in, or not enough of them come in, they're screwed. Highly possible that many will go out of business.
It's the same for any business in the hospitality or service industry.

A friend in Michigan is in the restaurant business. They're brainstorming at state and local levels about how to keep customers and staff safe if they reopen. If they space tables for social distancing they can't seat enough customers at one time and won't be able to break even. Other suggestions are to have staff wear masks even though customers obviously would not be wearing masks when they eat. None of it makes sense.

No good solutions yet and no doubt if things open right away that second wave won't be far behind.

10. Yup, this:

13. So, these women with frosted hair are...

Convincing their husbands to wear camouflage and carry high-powered guns into the streets to protest their being forced to stay home? Hmm I don’t think so. I wouldn’t blame women for this.

[SunSeeker]

15. No, you can't blame the women for the men. The men want their bars open.

The men are being assholes all on their own. But so are right wing women.

[tulipsandroses]

16. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Who said what you said?

17. The text is misogynistic.

This is the second thread I've seen that featured this meme. I went into detail about what makes it misogynistic in my post #73 on that first thread:

[tulipsandroses]

20. Not seeing what you are seeing. I find nothing misogynistic about it

Still think its perfectly stated.

[ms liberty]

22. Did you read my post #73 on the other thread?

As I said in that post, the sentiment is dead on accurate. The problem is the gendered verbiage used to describe the people being discussed. It's misogynistic to suggest that all the protesters out there are women screaming and yelling because the want their hairdressers frosting their bangs and their waitresses serving them lunch.

[ms liberty]

18. I agree, the text of the meme is misogynistic

Yesterday there was another thread featuring this meme, and I described the misogyny I see in that meme there, reply #73:

14. This time it's a class thing, depressed wages for service workers

reinforcing entitlement among a certain type of people. I've worked retail and know them well, everybody hoping they'll grab their stuff, pay for it, and be out the door with no drama. It rarely happens that way.

[treestar]

21. They don't even do protests right

If they said they needed money, couldn't pay the rent, can't pay the utilities, etc. they'd get at least some sympathy. Instead, they demand hair cuts and nail polishing.
