Right-wingers attack fast food workers (a LOLapaloozer)

This entry kicks off a new feature for this blog. I call it a LOLapaloozer. A LOLapaloozer is a right-wing crackpot who posts laughably bad postings on Internet comment forums that display their warped logic or other heehaw inducers. Of course, most of these folks are paid trolls who are bankrolled by the Republican National Committee and right-wing think tanks.

For the first installment, here's a comment that some right-winger posted regarding the fast food strikes...

"These fast food workers r demanding $15 hour.THEY DON'T DESERVE IT. ... Gimme Gimme Gimme is the only narrative they know!"

Hahaha. What a beezweezer. If someone who works at a restaurant doesn't deserve $15/hour, then why do CEO's of big corporations deserve hundreds of times that much? The AFL-CIO recently reported that a CEO makes 354 times as much money as the average worker.

People who worked in the factory jobs that are being replaced by fast food jobs made more than $15/hour. So fast food workers may be selling themselves short if they demand only $15/hour - unless anyone seriously thinks they already live a life of yachts and bon-bons like the captains of industry do.

What's next? You almost expect some conservative to grumble, "These fast food workers r demanding to be paid in something other than scrip.THEY DON'T DESERVE IT." It's the same complaint that slave drivers all over the globe have issued.

That ain't all. On another website with an article about the fast food strike, some right-wing kook-a-loon whined...

"You can thank Obama for this new age of entitlement"

So it's Obama's fault people want to be paid for their work?

Twenty years ago, the right-wing narrative was against people who they believed didn't work. Actually, most did work, but the narrative was set. The Tea Party narrative extended this wrath to public workers. Now, the narrative also assails private sector employees who have the worst and lowest-paying jobs. Low-paid workers now occupy the same position in the right-wing conscience as those who were attacked as "welfare queens" 20 years ago. If this keeps up, the people laughing in the end will be these low-paid workers who find their conditions improved because everybody else gets tired of hearing the logic-free vitriol that they face.
