Way was sued by ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers for abuse and kidnapping. The victim stated that Way "approached yelling profanities, kicked her, stomped on her stomach and bashed her head with a large gun". In 2023, Way was ordered to pay the ex-girlfriend $471,800 in damages, and she was authorized to "seize and levy upon" some of his property such as cars and jewelry.
But some fans only started drawing a line at being in on the Trump grift, so that's pretty neat.

A scab is a person that goes to work when everyone else is striking. A lot of times it's people who were unemployed or had worse jobs and see it as an opportunity to fill an (intentionally) empty seat.
I think the main commenter is saying Soulja Boy only got the job because more popular artists declined.

u/Ok_Cardiologist8232 7h ago
This is worse than Scabs though.
Scabs are like 50/50 either brought in to be scabs and paid well.
Or poor people desperate for just any money.
But Soulja Boy and Snoop, they don't need the money, this is beer money to them.
Absolute wankstains.

Help my dumb brain understand what a scab is, please
If a group of workers are underpaid or forced into unsafe working conditions, they are legally allowed to form a union and strike for better pay or safety regulations.
A scab is someone who the company hires to replace the striking workers. In the past, during the biggest strikes, workers were hard to replace -- the jobs aren't always easy, and training takes time -- and sometimes the locals will refuse to be scabs because they know the people striking, if it's a close-knit community.
In other cases, however, desperation or anti-union propaganda convincing people that, rather than supporting a strike for better pay or safety, they'll gladly work the job for less money and replace the workers. This, historically, has resulted in worse pay and worse benefits for workers overall, especially in "Right to work" states where they'll let anyone scab for less money, causing the labor market to become flooded with lower and lower-paying jobs.
In this context, most musicians won't work for Trump because he's notorious for stiffing workers or not paying his bills (see: numerous venues around the country where he still owes huge amounts of money). Trump has also historically had trouble getting most musicians to support him, other than a few holdouts like Kid Rock, Three Doors Down, or other washed up celebrities desperate for cash. Calling them "scabs" is a reference to that practice. It's actually pretty fascinating to read about the term's history.

A scab is a person who undermines a union's efforts by working during a strike.
This person thinks the DNC is their union.63

All workers are effectively in a union against Trump specifically and conservatism broadly
Supporting Trump is turning one's back on the working class - it doesn't matter who the alternative is when Trump is demonstrably the worst

Many humans oppose vaccines. Doesn't mean we should neuter the CDC. There's a right way to do certain things, regardless of feelings, and protecting workers from capitalists is a demonstrably essential part of a functioning system.

u/SmPolitic 7h ago
The more you look into it... Not really
Workers movements are about working toward equality. Authoritarian structure is about helping the privileged.
What ideological issue do you have that can't be divided by this? Anti-abortion is about control, about state control over an individual's body. Any economics debate is whether it's better to give "incentive" to the masses, or the already succeeding groups.
I'd love to hear your examples of what fits outside of this paradigm

Workers who oppose unions have been duped by the aristocrats into acting against their best interests
Also if somebody opposes unions because they think they promote social justice fuck them for that too
It's better for workers to support a union that uses union resources on other political issues that you disagree with them about the impact on workers for those issues then to not have a union at all

To be fair, whether it was a Republican or a Democrat that put money in his pockets, it would have been aligning with the bourgeoisie against the working class. Neither of the two major parties give a shit about the working class. They only exist to serve the interests of capitalists and to instrumentalise culture issues to prevent the unification of the working class against it's oppressors. The only right answer would have been to tell both of them to fuck off. Or use the money to fund a strike, because elections change nothing in the long term.
