    European unions had quite a bit of communist purging as well, and those countries that did retain a communist movement tended to first turn into Soviet proxies and then fall apart once the Prague Spring provoked too much disillusionment of Soviet intentions. The common narrative that the conservatism of American leadership stems to anticommunist purges doesn't quite fly. No, I think it's race.

    Why can't it just be corruption and general greed and ineptitude on the part of American organized labor leadership? Did the European unions need to deal with control by or aniseed crime like the US unions did?

    Today I discussed my table-making plans with my dad and we had a long manly discussion about biscuit joinery, veneers, repurposing doors or using veneered plywood, measurement conventions for furniture, etc.

    MASCULINITY.

    This stereotype has always confused me. Carpentry is the one bit of arts and crafts that gets the manly badge.

    Call it by its real name. Wood sewing.

    When I did stage construction in high school for our plays and shit we called wood glue jizz

    probably relevant

    I disagree. There are plenty of crafts (wood working, metallurgy, working on cars, plumbing, etc) that are regarded as masculine because they are physically laborious in a way that sewing or scrap booking or knitting are not. It's not hard to figure out which side a craft will fall on.

    because such a thing is an impossibility and was always ludicrous

    Of course it's not impossible.

    It's impossible in the sense that we can't have literally infinite resources for everyone. But we can create enough that it's effectively infinite for everyone. Then we just make robots do the Charlie work, and it's all good from there.

    I wont be satisfied with just one solar system of my own.

    The idea of the mob smuggling aniseed amuses me. It's the East India Mafia!

    It's not accidental that organized crime in the US organized along heavily ethnic lines, either. A lot of it was a retention of ethnic communal networks and old machine-politics-era hierarchies of influence.

    The split in the US labour movement dates to before Prohibition. You got similar resentment of immigrants and internal US migrants as scab labour way back in the late 19th.

    I fail to see how applying veneer or cutting joints is manly. Maybe if they were a couple of lumberjacks or running a saw mill.
