Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"loyalty day"???? π
Has anybody else ever even heard of this??
It was invented to replace International Labour Day, which almost everyone in the world celebrates on May 1st. The US celebrates "Labor Day" on a different day to reduce internationalism and solidarity.
Labor Day in the US also rarely celebrates workers. Usually they try to focus on veterans yet again.
And Itβs all about sales for Americans
Never.
yeah, it was part of my radicalization journey
Yeah. It has been posted on hexbear every year since inception. Almost every time people think it was the first time it was declared.
Loyalty Day has been declared every year since 1958. The intention of loyalty day is to be a distraction from the Haymarket Affair. In Chicago Illinois, May 4 1888, police opened fire on workers who protesting for the 8 hour work day after a dynamite bomb was thrown into the crowd by an unknown person.
America is fascist.
