not sure if you're dismissing this but here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worker_deaths_in_Unite...

the reason we have weekends and no child labor is because workers died for it.

the state, the capitalists desire control, obedience and extraction. worker well-being is a low priority. workers advocating for better pay, safe working conditions, etc were routinely killed.

why is it laughable to say that there is a need to resist the injustice and push for better working conditions and rights for all?

What's the connection to the weekend?
