This is a weird take to me. Why should we not idolize and revere workers who do critical labor on which our society depends? I understand objecting to the lack of idolization for other forms of labor. But to say that you dont afford respect and admiration to workers performing any labor is odd.
I respect workers by wanting them to get their fair share of the labor.
I don't need to start rating people based on their profession and denigrating most workers for not having these auraful jobs.
Okay, I agree with that. Your use of the word simp was a bit open to interpretation.
Why would you idolize anyone? To err is human; we all have flaws and just because you have a fancy profession does not mean you are a good person.
I moreso meant that I think glorifying the labor of working class people in general is a good thing. Not any one particular form of labor, just all forms of labor in general. Of course all people have flaws and are imperfect, I never suggested otherwise.
I'm not a Marxist-Leninist, far from it, but I do appreciate broad strokes the art they made glorifying the labor of the working class. Even though they constantly disrespected workers and acted against their rights, they nominally fostered a culture that glorified the labor done by workers every day. I think that on the whole is a good thing. I think it's good to show a reverence for workers of all types.
Fair enough but this doesn't make much sense to me in the context of this post, since it implies that pilots are / should be idolized more than any of the other travelers (also mostly labourers of some sort) or other airport staff.
For pulluting the shit out of the skies, and bringing the end upon us, with their own two hands.
