Warehouses just do that sometimes.
AURORA BOREALIS?! At this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your warehouse?!
My bad it was the laundry I was doing

🎵 All I wanna do
Is see people like you
Pay living wages
Pay living wages
All I wanna be
Is someone who gets to see
Some living wages
All you have to do
To not see a fire crew
Is pay living wages
Pay living wages
All you have to be
Is someone not filled with greed.
Pay living wages
Oh I know it’ll be great
to not anticipate
Your warehouse going up in smoke and fire
If you pay us some more
Your assets won’t become s’mores
Because you paid
Some living wages
You might even like
Not being shot at
But if you don’t pay us
Then get ready for contact
But if it were me,
I’d distribute happily
Some living wages
Some living wages
All I wanna be
Is someone who gets to see
Some living wages 🎶
I hope we never find out who it is and whoever did it knows they have our support.
It was probably an electrical fire caused by the CEO of the company following ai instructions on how to hide his mistress’s pregnancy from his wife, so I’m sure the CEO will find some poor working patsy
American Spring.
The ‘7 warehouse fires’ claim is unverified. Only 2-3 can be confirmed, and accounts like @ProudSocialist are framing unrelated incidents as a coordinated uprising. That’s not journalism, it’s narrative-building.
Abdulkarim said on video: "All you had to do was pay us enough to f*cking live. That’s not revolutionary ideology. That’s a 29-year-old warehouse worker who snapped.
Political violence in the U.S. is rising, that’s documented. It’s reaching levels not seen since the 1970s. Meanwhile, overall crime is actually falling. So what we’re seeing isn’t a general breakdown in society. It’s targeted desperation in a country where working people feel increasingly squeezed.
History shows that sustained, organized labor action (strikes, unions, collective bargaining) has done more to improve working conditions than any fire ever has. The most effective ‘anti-capitalist’ movement in American history was the labor movement, and it won through solidarity, not sabotage."
Accounts on the left are celebrating these fires as class warfare. Accounts on the right will use them to paint all workers as dangerous radicals. Both are exploiting real suffering for engagement. Neither is offering solutions.
You don’t need to fabricate a revolution to prove that working people are struggling. A man burned down a warehouse because he couldn’t afford to live on his wages, and that fact alone should be enough to demand change. But celebrating arson isn’t solidarity. It’s spectacle. And spectacle doesn’t pay rent. If you actually care about the working class, put your energy into the things that have historically worked: organizing, striking, voting, and building collective power.
Anything else is just content.

the Haitian Revolution, literally started with enslaved workers burning hundreds of plantations to the ground.
The American Revolution (torching the HMS Gaspée)
The French Revolution (burning the Paris toll barriers).
Pretending that literal fire and sabotage haven’t historically been the exact sparks that destroy oppressive systems is just painfully naive.

The right is already putting people in camps. This event doesn’t give them an excuse to hurt workers. They already are.
The solution is socialism. The workers must own the means of production. Having a few private individuals own and control so much of the wealth is the problem and ending it is the solution
I also find the idea that the left is exploiting real suffering because of the celebration of these fires, so silly its laughable.
But celebrating arson isn’t solidarity. It’s spectacle.
What do you think working class people bonding over celebrating these fires leads too? This doesn’t hurt class solidarity but you know what does? Comments lecturing people that liking it is bad.
put your energy into the things that have historically worked: organizing, striking, voting, and building collective power.
Definitely agree with organizing/collective power and striking which is just an exercise of that power but voting? Source needed lol.
Summary: your comment was silly and you should feel silly. 🫳🎤
So we march day and night,
By the big cooling towers.
They have the plant,
We have the power.
This is God’s will
