   Lebanon's Fuel Crisis, Antifa Drives Proud Boys' Out Of Portland, Unity Workers Hate War Contracts

   Fuel crisis in Lebanon is a smoking gun for imperialist US sanctions, global capitalism and the fossil fuel industry at large. Antifascists foil proud boys' "summer of peace" rally. Unity workers are blowing the whistle on GovTech contracts for the military industrial complex. A few corrections: "privatize" (nationalization of resources is what we would support) "Stock" exchange (we meant to say "stonk exchange") & WOW the "fortnite sweepstakes" the US Army did weren't even real, they were literally just links redirecting gamers to enlist: https://win.gg/news/twitch-requires-us-army-to-remove-fake-sweepstakes-promotions/ Bonus Content: Dr. Gabor Mate tries to make Tucker Carlson understand addiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97zzc_nuZgc Please like, comment and share if you enjoyed this video!!!

   Evidence Shows Right To Work Laws Hurt Workers

   The history of union-busting is one of denying safety and well-being to workers. We don't want a "right to work", we want our right to collective bargaining, and beyond that we want to live free of capital!
