One economics book from the 50s I've read, talked about how awful it is that, in factories, if one coworker is performing better than the rest, people would beat him up after work, for making them look bad. I suppose then, that beating up their boss wasn't off the table.

The author said that this is awful, because the guy doing extra work was actually helping the factory stay afloat, and thus helping them make a living.

I kind of agree and disagree with the author. Like most libertarians, his logic is sound, and the book was very insightful about how things work. However, he was missing nuance that you can only get by actually being a wagie. Wagies don't always benefit from their boss making a big profit, and would often benefit from their boss being scared.

In Europe it somewhat makes sense, as labor laws do it for us.

But in places such as the US, which is where this book is from (50's US), the situation is DIRE. I see on the internet people's bosses telling them
>you've called in sick 5 times this year, this can't go on!
And I wonder, why don't they beat them up? Why did people stop doing that even though life is getting worse AND authorities are more pro crime now? It makes zero sense.

Post your theories. I have a few but don't want to make this too long.

One theory is that this culture died off with boomers. You don't have to beat up your boss if the job market is an employee's market. And then the culture just died out even if things got worse again, as boomers also teach their children awful things such as "just have a work ethic and dont complain".

Another theory is immigration and outsourcing. A factory owner can go broke by respecting workers if his competition doesn't have to. I think there's a chance this worked out because workers joined forces in all factories, but if there are factories present in which this doesn't happen, the rest would go broke. Immigrants, let alone the chinese in China, never say no and would never rise up.

I've mentioned in other comments that I like latinos despite the hate they get, and I think they have spanish culture and values and should be welcome in Spain, but to be fair, one downside they have is that they would NEVER do this and they're very submissive at work.

Humans have been domesticated by our owners. Look at how violent people were in 1950s movies and shows compared to now. People barely touch eachother anymore need the less smack their wife when she pisses him off. People are afraid to be violent because of constant supervision and recording. You beat the shit out of someone in the 1960s nobody could prove it, and usually nobody really cared. Now everything is recorded. The panopticon is real. Any time you record another person you are part of it.

They added immigrants of different ethnicity and women to the employment pool, union busted and destroyed pensions. Boomers literally strive to defy death just to kill everyone else except kikes. As if its a universal law of physics. Unstoppable chore meets insufferable object

People today are domesticated. It’s been happening for thousands of years, it’s nothing new. We are the same as any dog or cow or pig.
But domesticated animals still have their natural instincts, including ferocity and a tendency towards violence. If you let a cow or pig or dog loose it does not take long at all for them to start acting more like their wild ancestors.

It’s the same for humans. In the 50’s, working age men were relatively likely to have served in the military and seen active combat. It’s somewhat hard to get people to go back into the cuck kennel after they have seen and dealt extreme violence for years on end.

>destroyed pensions
what pensions do you mean? boomer retirement pensions are through the roof in Spain at least, its part of why young people struggle so much

Boomers slammed the door on anyone else getting them.

I kind of agree and disagree with this.

Isn't active combat highly hierarchical and mostly about following orders? I don't think most people in wars even see active combat.

Do you really think being forced to be a peon under another man's orders makes people less submissive? Just because it's a violent environment? I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm just not sure that's how it works.

makes sense

boomers are so comically awful. btw most people dont even know this but its not that they had it easier and they're out of touch. things are harder now because they steal from us.

i fear millenials may become the same to zoomers, due to becoming bitter and also being raised by boomers. i hope not.

They aren’t less submissive, they are more submissive. They’re just more willing to use violence. The factory workers in your example weren’t beating people up to further their own interests (though they may benefit), they were doing it to preserve the social hierarchy.
Of course sometimes violence does cause people to realize that the special leader hat/job title/whatever is just made up bullshit.

Niggers and Females were wielded by Jews and Catholics to commit acts of terror.
Capitulation to the scabs of Labour Power in the form of the next wave of endless irishmen destroying the natives is Socialism for Capital.
Terrorism is why The Law is just given to The State to monopolize, now in the service of endless indians and women.
The government nor the slop producers have interests in competition for durable goods, because there is only one market, and it was taken by violence by the consent of Der Boomer.
Women and Muds consider YOUR HISTORY AND TEXT, to be what is terrorism, so the Masons and Jews are happy to change it to much cheaper Sharia forms of parallel governance and to mothball the white man's expensive law which emulates The Law Of God.
Women and Shitskins hate The Law Of God because they are cursed by it.
Weak, Wicked Men simply rather chose that such threats do not exist to our superior Law, and to give it away for free.

The Masons and Jews just performed a few ritual murder sacrfices and the Boomers stopped asking questions real fast.

Socialism is the moral philosophy of a crab bucket.

Also, why would you think a book from 70 years ago has any relevance to the modern work environment?
I see people do this all the time where they will point to some historical incident to make a point and completely ignore everything that happened historically in response to that incident.
For example, everybody talks about the holocaust but they never talk about the Nuremberg trials

Women now work in large numbers and they will backstab any dudes trying to make civilization run better because modern foids value the promise of ongoing misery over prosperous boredom.
It's just like that chick researcher bitch said recently, that woke hit so hard and got so crazy because women are now the majority in legal/political/corporate environments.

Fuck kikes too but the answer to any "why does x?" question is women.

My wife is so glorious that the jews worked since she was a little wee little lass to ruin her mind, rape her, and groom her for the son of Satan. God saved her as he saved me and there is no space for anyone else. Even when she dies, I will be loyal to her memory. That's how much she means to me, you people could never understand what it means to love someone like I do. She is literally God's daughter. She's his best work ever.

Name me one female in the history of the world who is greater than the Empress of this planet!

I know reading Jack Kirby's comments about his childhood he said everyone was split up into ethnic gangs and they just fought constantly it wasn't seen as a problem to be solved just a thing boys/men do

but a few decades later and any kind of physical violence between boys/men is considered a massive issue to be squashed instantly

Probably because everything is either recorded or filmed so you can't get away with anything nowadays.
People who don't have a wife and children are usually more prone to violent shit because they don't have anything to lose. Unless they "threw themselves in the water" one time, getting hurt in the process while nobody followed them, so they concluded that people are idiots and it's better to just keep to oneself and do nothing.
A large percentage of the population of this world, mainly in the far east, live by this exact philosophy of "it's better to do nothing" albeit from religious and philosophical reasons mostly.

>immigration and outsourcing
This is what did it. My father & grandfather were both union miners who would beat the shit out of 'scabs'. Once the borders opened up, any striking miners were fired instantly and replaced with a more compliant foreigner.
If you went and beat up the foreigner for being a scab, it's a 'hate crime', etc. so they even had legal privilege.
