       was reading an article that had some salient points about the creative class who labor under 'blue oligarch' hyperelites and how they've stratified cultural capital in a way that closes off advancement to the undereducated, but then it ended with 'the solution is Joe Biden'ugh

       "could the problem be that poor young people increasingly recognize that the petite bourgeoisie are exactly as complicit in their hardships as the hyperelites they operate at the behest of? ...no, they just don't love Uncle Joe enough, the hicks"

       by ignoring much more straightforward explanations of class antagonism, like the increasing wealth and education gap between rich and poor, you reify a view of reality where some invisible guarantor of cross-class 'respect' is more valuable than 'people having enough to live on'I don't fucking care if the guy who owns Zoom 'respects me' in some nebulous, unquantifiable sense, I care if I have FOOD, SHELTER, and MEDICINE, you impossible, imbecilic yahoo

       @hystericempress Respect for someone doing any form of labor starts with dollars, cents, and safety. Respect for sapient life starts with making sure everyone's basic needs are met. People at the top of the societal ladder rarely do a good job at either, but right now seems to be a remarkable moment in history even for them.
