  • As funny as it would be if someone actually did this, it feels kind of

    blacks-rule

    Who would write “fent”? Right-wingers fearmonger about fentanyl but no one on the left cares (because the fearmongering bullshit).

    And “Elon 4 President” is just a little confusing. Why would you write that as graffiti on a bazingamobile and also alongside “Fuk Trump”?

    Plus conveniently the driver’s side window and windshield are left clear.


  • “Middle class” is a term tailor-made to get workers thinking “well I’m not in the same boat as those people” and primed to punch down or pull the ladder up.

    That’s basically what I said in my last sentence, but at the same time you can’t discount from a leftist perspective that some working class are poor and barely getting by while some working class are rather comfortable, and that those two groups have somewhat different material interests despite both being part of the working class. Of course that fact is definitely used to pit those two sections of the working class against each other to the benefit of the owning class.



  • The middle class is part of the working class (“upper middle” is arguable, but many are still workers not owners afaik, just high paying jobs). Obviously not all of it, but depending on the definition it’s the same amount or more people than the lower class.

    That of course doesn’t change the fact that 1) they’re basically saying they don’t care about the lower class and 2) the contents of that plan are definitely some neoliberal bullshit that barely if at all helps most of the middle class. And of course the distinction between lower and middle class purposefully exists to stifle consideration of the reality that it’s actually a working class vs an owning class.
