presumably there is some nuance in that some people will think Englishness should not be ethnically defined, but that it is, or that it should be, but that it isn't

I somehow doubt that the chronically ableist and transphobic Streeting has the moral clout to move society to be less racist.

hello, computer scientist here
basically every computer has a tiny gnome that operates a really complex signaling system that tells all the little ones and zeros where to go

This isn't really my area of interest or expertise, but I didn't interpret the OP as saying anything about "growth and prosperity for the whole country". Your point is valid, just not relevant.

Yes, I understand that, and I agree.

I think you're imparting on me views which I do not hold, and assuming consequences of my argument which don't necessarily follow. Supporting strikes should not demand some liberal ideological purism where we're not allowed to critique the system that gets us into thess messes.

I don't agree with that at all. I grew up in a working class state where lots of people ended up working at Starbucks who would have gladly worked somewhere else if similar opportunities were available. Just because your work has value, doesn't mean your company does.

I fundamentally agree, but I also think the broader systematic perspective has value, and it's not always from a position of sanctimoniousness

idk, maybe people are subtweeting (subskeeting?) that better alternatives are available and coffee monopolization is part of the greed pie that makes people strike in the first place
I'm not one of these people, just theorizing
