VW in Germany would never consider talking against unionisation like that. There they know that cooperation with their employees has produced a strong globally automotive industry of which the country is proud. Audi, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes know the same. It shows that political ideology does not drive efficiencies and success but working together.

And this is exactly why politicians and the compliant media, worried more about ratings and clicks and views than about any commitment to the truth, must endlessly peddle one manufactured culture crisis after another.

Video games lead to violence and gay people want to marry and defend the country! Our world is over! ... Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction and now millions of American children will probably be traumatized for life! ... Obama had the nerve to not only get elected as a black man, but to then wear a tan suit! ... Dirty illegal immigrants are simultaneously joining MS-13 and causing violence in your community AND are working multiple full-time jobs that they stole from you! ... Trans people are force-reading your children books that will make them want to switch genders AND have the nerve to occasionally need to use a bathroom!

All day, every day, this nonsense is spewed out, tweeted, and repeated....because as long as we are all consumed with a culture war, we won't recognize we are in a class war and we are losing...badly. However, as this union and many others just showed, if we fight through these distractions and organize, we can win.
