UNIONS: NOT the cause of our 40 hour workweek!
>>698
• So despite the data showing a clear decline in work hours all occurring prior to Unions having successfully lobbied Congress to legislate the 40 hour standard, people still mistakenly believe that Unions were to thank for our 8 hour day and 40 hour workweek. Our graph, from the study "Trends in Hours: The U.S. from 1900 to 1950”, shows the decline from 1830 to 1990. We had already reached the 40 hour standard by 1938 WITHOUT the need for legislation. Furthermore, as this study states, the "decline was not even across workers: it benefited mostly low-wage earners who used to work the most in 1900.” [14]

THE REALITY?
Labor unions had been trying for decades to legislate a shorter workweek but their goals simply weren't mathematically feasible until per capita GDP and productivity had first increased. Once they DID increase the demands of Unions were finally possible. This is far different, however, from falsely concluding that their demands were the SOURCE of said advancement. Just as in 1791 when Philadelphia carpenters went on strike seeking a 10 hour work day or in 1835 when different Philadelphia strikers did the same. Just as in 1864, when the Chicago labor movement began demanding an 8 hour work day, similar to the National Labor Union in 1866 who declared it necessary to free people from "capitalist slavery." Just as with the Illinois strike of 1867, or the 8-hour proclamation declared by President Grant in 1869, the central demands of labor organizers in the 1870's, the objectives of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions in 1884, or the American Federation of Labor in 1888, all of whom sought an 8 hour work day, little improvement could have resulted had the economic circumstances not first allowed it. Yes, unions demanded a shorter work day, and yes, unions demanded a shorter workweek, but PRODUCTIVITY INCREASES and ECONOMIC GROWTH gave it to us.

The gilded age saw massive increases in real wages, living standard etc for the working class, more than anywhere in the world at the time and this was all thanks to massive increases in economic production due to our economic freedom.

Yes anon, I totally agree. /pol/ and /fascist/ do a great job at this and we must learn from them. For some reason they are good at explaining their more complicated concepts to the lowest common denominator, maybe because they are low IQs themselves. We must also remember the basic principles of graphic design and keep things very simple. An infograph is so supposed to be a summary of a TL;DR, the point is not to overwhelm someone with information, but to take overwhelming information and present it in interesting bite-sized pieces with colourful pictures and memes to help people interpret it. If even a 12 year old or an 80 IQ nigger can't understand the infograph, then for all intents and purposes it's useless.

Every possible metric you can imagine stopped improving around 1971. I wonder what happened in 1971.

Why so many metrics?
>>740
You know, this may seem like an offhand comment, but it's very relevant. I think the reason libertarianism is shit at infographics is because:

- Infographics need some sort of statistics or metrics to display.
- A lot of libertarian economic theory is against aggregation--a la Hong Kong's Cowperthwaite's dictum against even collecting economic statistics.
- Given the previous two points above, it makes sense why there are so few good infographics.

Given this, it also makes sense why a lot of libertarian propaganda material is "some dude's face with a block-quote wall of text beside it."
>>740
This anon makes a good point. In a political world dominated by irrational, emotive decisions most often made by leftists, everyone else is losing a significant portion of their potential audience by relying on metrics to make their arguments. The clear solution is to sprinkle in some empathetic arguments that would be relatable to the audience that these people attract. The problem with this is that it would only work on the most uneducated actors in the argument. The base of supporters for, in particular, gun control is dishonest. Take, for example, first pic relate. It presents empathetic reasoning against gun control, explicitly countering the typical "think of the children" emotive argument used by gun-controllists. However, once prompted with their own emotive arguments as counter-arguments, most gun-controllists are suddenly interested in arguing logically, and will falsely identify the argument as a slippery slope fallacy, despite the argument itself proving that the claim is not fallacious—the slope is exactly as slippery as described.

Russia's development and industrialization are not a spectacular merit of Bolshevism and would have happened under other regimes.
