The issue with Dems being so pro cap and anti working class is that they forget raising hundreds of millions for a political campaign is exactly the opposite of ending homelessness.

@tmstreet @shanecelis @thehill @bmacDonald94 So they'll never be able to afford a home, rent or food. And no healthcare. Its hard to provide these things, only 90% of developed nations have social support systems, seems like an impossible feat for the US, clearly 90% of countries are wrong.

In one truly bizarre anecdote, he has an anxiety-induced fantasy about a random woman at a gas pump, and how she and her nephew, who attends Yale like Vance, must be sitting around mocking all of the hillbillies in his town.There’s zero basis for this bout of paranoia; like most of the book, it seems predicated on assumptions that seem reasonable and normal in Vance’s own head, but which feel baffling and unfounded — and often blatantly classist — when he lays them out for us.

Any activism that aligns with the ruling class (nearly all do) only reifys the imperialistic power of the state. You can love whoever you want, fight for them and stand by them but if its not #workingclass, it's not activism. Its not pro black, its not pro women, it's not pro trans, its not pro jew, it's pro billionaire.

#AmberRose insisting that #Republicans are not racist is strange. Why would you need to tell anyone that someone isn't racist? We don't have #democratic celebrities going around town shouting that democrats are not racist.

@bascule As a raccoon expert I may be able to help. Raccoon's personally hate billionaires who exploit the working class. This is part of their working class solidarity. They agitate to bring awareness to the psychopathy of billionaires.

How can a serial rapist become a state attorney but a rape victim can't find a home or job?

My job is incredible and so are 99.99% of people there but all work is gaslighting and trauma lmao. Every single last one. Your entire value is based on arbitrary metrics and the standards have become so #perfectionist that it's literally causing a #mentalhealth crisis. I'm not smart or good at school and it takes me a long time to learn but why does that matter? #work #job #bias #discrimination #stress #health #ptsd #learning

I've always been anti conspiracy theory but "assignation attempt" doesn't add up.

@jeffowski A lot of people are but most of us are beginning to realize that two genocidal ruling classes are the same.

My privileged coworkers who don't see that they have lives easier than 70% of the worlds population have made my life harder because they literally can't see or feel what we do. That's what privilege means. If you have the power to make other peoples lives harder for no reason, that is the foundation of entitled. It doesn't matter how much I love them, they are competitive and get what they want regardless of the consequences to us. #privilege #classism #poverty #work #job

The competitive supervisor sees everything as a threat to her upper class lifestyle. Its not hard to spot. She's the first to make our lives harder, to exercise her power to do so in small ways and move up the ladder. She reinforces compliance in the same ways all educated high earners do. By making the higher ups aware of the most minor misdeeds without providing context and its done in the spirit of caring. She's going to get caught even if she gets rid of people who notice #boss #capitalism

According to insurance data analyzed by LendingTree, Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate of any automotive brand, with 23.5 accidents per 1,000 drivers from November 2022 to November 2023 in the US.

The study of 30 car brands also found that Tesla drivers had the second highest number of driving incidents, including accidents and DUIs, speedings, and citations — behind only Ram Trucks drivers.

The futuristic truck has also attracted safety concerns, with one auto safety expert telling Business Insider that, coupled with Autopilot, the vehicle's stainless-steel construction and sharp edges risked turning the pickup into a "guideless missile." #tesla

I went about 45 years before being diagnosed with moderate to severe disability. And I'm not at a cute age where people will work with me, I'm a full ass adult with no resources.

Due to the normalization of extremism there is no more political line. Transfascism, Christofascism, Zionist Extremism, each sides goal is to make the critique of their ideology a crime. When it becomes criminal to disagree with any demographic, they can advance their special interests and weave it into the ruling class. They don't want community, they want to dominate. Women lose each time. #misogyny #genocide #God #christianity #propaganda #religion #patriotism #zionism

After dealing with such extremism here and having extremist friends and family, I know in my heart of hearts that stigmatizing them doesn't work. Some people may always be fringe believers but there needs to be a strong degree of normalcy and way of dealing with the right and liberals. It requires strong principles and compassion. But most of us normal people aren't familiar with principled political lines, a guide to live by so we know when something has become antagonistic to community.

I don't believe imperialism is natural, neither is rape or racism. These crimes of state violence.

Working from home saves between $20-$65 a day. Why would anyone return to the office with bullies when they can be free from office politics.

The most brilliant minds are denied tenure or employment at prestigious institutions. Those chosen to teach are mediocre and yet considered brilliant by students who know very little about the nature of education in the US. #college #University #harvard #ivyleague
