This typically happens. For example, I expect many environmentalists
were less than enthusiastic about supporting striking autoworkers.

I'm not thrilled that someone'd love to throw me in jail for simply
downloading the books and media I want. But if this world's predatory
decisionmaking is going to stay constant over a labor strike, might as
well support a more equitable distribution of the income.
