> Why did you submit to their unlawful attempts at restricting your speech? Was it just ignorance of your rights?

don’t come from privilege. For some people easy to virtue signal in a condecending way, as you do here. Was getting paid minimum wage to support family. whatever law is or however government holds that law if ever me can not risk losing job and not paying apartment rent with children at home.

>”No different to you pushing your narrative that everyone should submit to the unlawful whims of employers.”

no my point that Tesla and elon singled out because media hunt against him. my point that this has been abused and broken for decades, as i told you in me examples. media does not care. suddenly they talk about company breaking law as if they care about justice. Lol

for reasons you respond in bad faith..have unproductive discussion and on purpose or from arrogant misrepresent what i say and argue strawmans.

if you has issue with elon or Tesla, fine. amazes me how social justice people like you do this virtue signaling on behalf of laborers,poor (I was one through 1990 and 2000s) but it about you and your agenda not do with helping others or law

> don’t come from privilege.

Most people don't. That's all the more reason to stand up for yourself.

> if you has issue with elon or Tesla, fine.

So.. you have no issue with Elon or Tesla exploiting the ignorance of poor people like you? You desperately defend them not just in spite of what companies like them have done to you, but because of it?

There's no value in advocating further submission to companies like these. I'd say you've got a responsibility to educate other workers about their rights, precisely and especially because you have the lived experience of being a victim of this kind of unlawful conduct.

>”So.. you have no issue with Elon or Tesla for exploiting the ignorance of poor people like you? You desperately defend them not just in spite of what companies like them have done to you, but because of it?”

Not my point at all did not defend elon or tesla. you English better than mine and think that much obvious to you. Sad that you continue this strawman posts and anger because someone say something not fitting your agenda.

> Not my point at all did not defend elon or tesla.

Yes it did. Trying to claim there is some kind of conspiracy against Musk or Tesla, and further claiming that forbidding discussion of wages is no big deal because other companies also do it, is an attempt at defending and minimizing the problem.

>”Trying to claim there is some kind of conspiracy against Musk or Tesla”

this is not defense of elon but indictment of media propaganda

>”and further claiming that forbidding discussion of wages is no big deal because other companies also do it”

me never said this. youre clearly antagonizing and even trolling me.

think my opinions didn’t fit cleanly with your agenda so like many of virtue signaling group, you resort to attacks and suppress opinions. fascist technique

> this is not defense of elon but indictment of media propaganda

So.. reporting unlawful conduct is propaganda?

> youre clearly antagonizing and even trolling me.

No, just clarifying your confusion.

Selectively reporting a common behaviour is indeed propaganda.

You are trolling by casting the allegation as “confusion”.

> Selectively reporting a common behaviour is indeed propaganda.

This kind of conspiratorial thinking is just bizarre.

> You are trolling by casting the allegation as “confusion”.

Sorry, if you say dumb things you're going to be challenged on them. That's life in the real world.

> This kind of conspiratorial thinking is just bizarre.

You’re really that convinced this is honest reporting? That media isn’t biased? Or is it just bias when the media reports something you don’t like?
