@Rasp I think it’s because they have all the influence in the world and they get protected by the law and governments because Politicans worldwide are also dependent on them Money Eqals Power. Also People are so divided and distracted with ideological discussions In the USA it’s Red VS Blue they don’t even solidaric with each other also the naive thinking everyone an be like them If you just work hard enough is still a thing. Everyone wants the Lambo and the Bitches based on Andrew Tate

@Rasp Because while both sets of people are dumb, one has access to education, and power structures that allow them to influence/manipulate the majority, who have less education, and disinformation for education.I don't actually know, that just looks like the surface of what's going on.

@Rasp I think a main reason is that the white-collar working-class have been fooled into believing they are “middle-class” and that their wages are “salaries” and, abracadabra, different. By the time they figure out they’ve been scammed, it’s too late, for everybody.Wage-labour or profits; your income tells you which class you’re in.

@Rasp The problem here, of course, is that apex consumers tend to acquire more, and more dangerous, (expensive) toxins and therefore harmful genetic divergence from over-indulgence, gluttony, greed, wrath, and pride, not to mention the hugely expensive food and drink. Therefore, the solution here seems to be "compost the rich" and ... ... ... and why aren't we doing that RIGHT NOW?!?

@Rasp Because the smaller class monopolised all tools of control & the larger class is systematically stripped of all tools of self defence.And the larger class is convinced by the agents of the parasitic minority that they need to treasure so called "non-violence" while State — the organised thug of ruling class — continues to inflict systematic & organised violence against the larger class.

@Rasp @adrienne During the 2004 US presidential election season, I put a satirical bumper sticker in my car's back window that said "GOP: Eat The Poor!" but I was living at home and my parents asked me to not do that because they thought the neighbors wouldn't get the satire. 🙃

@Rasp because the #WorkingClass, as soon as it still exists, like only 1/3rd of Germans allowed to vote, is deeply reactionary. Most people just don't belong to the working class. Homeless, Retired, Unemployed (the reserve army of capital as Marx called them), Students, state employees, self-employed, heigh and low bourgeoisie. Soldiers and Farmers also have often different interests.But as long as #Leftists and #Marxists all along just defines people as working class, there is no discussion worth about it anyhow.The working class is a logical set of people. If you don't belong to it, you might well have different interests. It is unable to address other topics too. Neither #LGBTQ nor #ClimateChange matters much to them.The definition of a worker is to produce surplus value in form of commodities. A worker (only) is additional a poor and sad life being, for sure people even deny being a worker.And the workers movement nerver speaks to me. They just say random things with some outdated vocabulary

They just say random things with some outdated vocabulary and wanna make a big administrative act out of every single problem.The working class has #no conclusive #PoliticalAgenda, they somehow want #competition and #market but also want to print money. Well, competition means exclusion if you fail. So there will be poor ppl., poor families, poor Kids on the streets that sell themselves. Wait, wait,. ...., don't we have that already? The money they print would disable competition if spent on the poor, but not spending it makes a Leftist state even appear more violent.So the only serious alternative political agenda is the one from Soviet times. And this was an economic failure and a political disaster.

@Rasp It's the prisoner's dilemma. If you can trust your fellow prisoner, you can team up and get the optimal outcome. But if you can't trust them because you have different, contradictory goals, you'll never cooperate. That's why the prison wardens want to import massive numbers of people from incompatible cultures, turn half of them into militant gays, and scapegoat the powerless majority for all their sins.informationliberation.com/?id=61403

@RaspIt's a nice, empowering-sounding statement, but almost no one really believes they can *actually* do that.I mean, what does it actually mean? How would that work? Get in your VW Beetle and drive over to some rich person's house ... and what? Knock on the security gate? Break in and take their stuff? Literally catch one, kill them and eat them?What does it mean?
