No offense but isn’t that basically my point but with a whoooole lot more words and (again with) the reinforcement of these differents parts of the working class?

Nah I got it, I just chose not the see a dividing line between feet and shoulders of the working class ;)

Oof, I just looked and I’ll try when I’m better rested but damn, someone really needs to find a way to make theory accessible to nonmedicated ADHDers 😬

Their own lives were comfortable and easy in the middle class. Risking it all for revolution to help other people is not in their class interests.

They think it’s not in their class interests because they’ve been conditioned to see themselves as “temporarily impoverished billionaires” and that any day can be their lucky day to join the Big Boys upstairs as long as they keep standing on the backs of theworking class people who are only beneath them because the shiny dress shoes of some 9-5 middle manager that keeps kicking them in the face as he tries to claw his way up an imaginary food chain.

Sorry if I’m getting overly ranty and/or poetic but I feel this should be a no-brainer and I’m getting passionate.

I just don’t think there’s much utility in being so strict with categories

The whole point is that we’re fighting amongst ourselves about what basically amounts to comfort levels for the most of us, while we should all look at each other as comrades to stand with against those that are actively taking advantage of all of us plus the rift we’ve created between ourselves.

It’s how their middle incomes could afford so much.

Only because it’s widely thought that their incomes had to come from exploiting those beneath them, instead of taking it back from those above.

You’re being exploited by someone who tells you that’s what it takes and you just have to look below for someone less fortunate than yourself and exploit them. Instead we should come together with those less fortunate and collectively turn our attention to those who have been exploiting all of us to take it back instead of fighting the puppet on the other hand.

In my mind it’s always comes down to a very simple question: Do they have to work for someone, or does someone work for them? If the first is true, they’re working class, if the second, they’re capitalist class, aka ruling class.

There is no middle class.

oh it’s a real thing, it’s the fascist base

Please explain what exactly you mean by that?

Are they not simply misinformed comrades-to-be?

You’re missing the point; the middle class is an invention of the ruling class to divide the working class so we can fight amongst each other about collar-based gentrification and other nonsense.

Just here to salute the ongoing work of Shabinder od Soundbound after Spotiflyer went down.

Although sadly that’s been fluctuating at the best of times.

middle class is an illusion

I’ve switched to using hair clippers pretty much exclusively so the few times I use a razor, it’s a new one.

Sack Fold new bandname called it!

Kaffee ist Bohnentee

Vegane Milch = Bohnensaft

I feel the’ve gotten too much of a streamlined experience compared to what millenials grew up with, who had to be able to do a lot more bugfixing to get things to work the way we wanted to.
