nearly a century of coordinated, targeted anti-union operations by corporations and the federal government will do that.

More than a century honestly, that shit goes as far back as the 1800s

That's fair. I was mostly thinking about how coordination between the federal government and corporations really ramped up in response to the NLRA

It's really cool learning about stuff like the Mohawk Valley Formula and how it's been known about as an overtly articulated strategy for like a hundred years now and they still do the exact same shit to discredit and disperse movements against their interests

and even knowing their fucking playbook doesn't help us simply because a solid majority of the population is conditioned to have their eyes glaze over, seeing nothing, when told about the tactics that are literally at that moment being used on them
