I love watching protesters displaying their diluted sense of high nose moral. Instead of worrying about crime, real slavery, and the unjust politicians, they worry about fruit pickers in another country that have different labor laws. Go get a real job and be contibuting members of our society. Freedom is great and our country is great but freedom missed used by lazy misguided people is a sad display of our constitution. Maybe they should go live in another country where they aren't so free.
@yobosylvia News flash, moron, those "Fruit pickers" happen to be here in the United States of America. And as far as "real slavery" Since 1997 over 1,000 people have been freed from slavery by Florida Law Enforcement due to the actions of many of these "misguided" people you mention. Oh did reality just intrude on your stupidity?
I've lived and worked on my family's farm my entire life. This type of demonstration still annoys me. I guess I'm just not a fan of unsolicitated cheerleading. I'd prefer some more informative, quieter intelligent presentation of ideas. Leftist picketing like this strikes me as fascist, ironically.
Maybe I'm just irked at the audio crackle in this video.
Fascism uses a lot of propaganda voicing thoughts without reason. It's a sort of authoritarian shouting down of dissent. I feel like this is a one way message purely inspired to achieve a specific purpose. Nothing democratic about that.
@SBRslacker00 No. Fascists would be in the streets beating people. Usually those people are a minority who has been scapegoated for an economic crisis and is seen as a threat to some fabled great national past. These are just people protesting overwork in an ineffective manner.
Do you deny that these protesters intend to use the power of the state to ultimately enforce their ideas? Or are these protesters trying to educate and communicate in a fair and even exchange of ideas? I only see one-way communication, no open discussion here.
I'm not even saying that fascism is a bad thing, sometimes it seems necessary. I'm just calling it what it is.
Fascism is a bad thing. Wtf are you talking about? Brutal repression, murder, and extreme exploitation is necessary? Necessary, perhaps, for the capitalists when they are threatened, but not for free thinking, progressive human beings. And what do you think they shoudl do? Set up a debate table next to the store and ask that people join? Because that is essentially what they are doing, and it doesn't work bc people have limited time. These people shoudl spend their time organizing the workers.
What a profoundly disingenuous question. Surely you are smart enough to answer your own question honestly. If there was an honest choice between working for $0.45 for 32lb's of tomatoes and a well paid job down the road, would anyone pick tomatoes? In your imaginary world it seems that some people do voluntarily (ie: not out of necessity) work for a pittance.
@hitssquad Consider that since 1997, with the help of the CIW, over one thousand people have been freed from slavery by Florida law enforcement officers, and the labor brokers who enslaved them have been prosecuted under the same laws that were written in the wake of abolition. Slavery is a live and well in this country; human trafficking is the second largest form of organized crime in the world.

Fascist? Are you joking? This seems more like more weak liberal protest.
