These people have been tricked by billionaires with a huge media reach. We should be banding together to tell the billionaires dickheads to fuck off, not further dividing ourselves.
Even if you don’t want to hang out with these people, you still very likely have far more in common with them than the assholes trying to fleece us for everything we’ve got.
Something that’s stuck with me for a long time is this quote within a quote about Susan Sontag:
“She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.”
As I said to the other response, I know in my brain that you are right. I, as a city dwelling tech worker, my interests align more than someone who works with his hands in the suburbs than with a billionaire. We’re both labor.
I still want to hit the maga-hat who’s frothing about how the gays are ruining their christmas, but I know that’s not really helpful.
Important to remember that collaborators are not without blame in all this. If they will not denounce the fascists, it doesn’t matter if they’re working class or not. They’re traitors.
