Nobody is volunteering their child for martyrdom. I am capable of understanding that certain things happen for the overall betterment of people. One group is fighting to make it better and one is fighting against it. Striking is a necessary action to fight for better conditions for workers and better outcomes for patients. I stand with the people who want it to be better.

You are a terminally philosophy-brained freak that proposes false choices and inaccurate dichotomies.

I can wholeheartedly say that I would not hold striking nurses accountable if my own child died because they were literally striking to create SAFER conditions for children. They were striking BECAUSE it was dangerous to put few staff in charge of many patients. I am on the side of nurses precisely because I know they care about their patients and the hospital does not.

Are you saying what would happen if a majority of Americans participated in a general strike? If they did then maybe the labor force would gain some power to improve our lives. You know, as long as the cops don't start beating the shit out of people who are striking, which is what they historically have done.

I do not give a fuck about your weird hypotheticals. I care about the real world.

If a baby died while the nurses weren't on strike, but overworked and overwhelmed to the point that this baby couldn't receive proper care, the hospital would be throwing the nurses under the bus. When they go on strike, the hospital will still throw the nurses under the bus for not being there.
There is no circumstance where the hospital will want to take responsibility.

Yeah and religious Sunday schools are also indoctrination by that definition. It's a matter of what you're indoctrinating kids into. Acceptance? Not feeling pressured into gender binary because that's what society pushes at large? Wonderful! Indoctrinating kids into existential guilt because they might have less conventional attractions? Awful.
