    Apologies in advance, I may have just discovered my personal inner schizo.


    Don’t forget that there is a massive, coordinated campaign to get us to eat our own by overemphasizing life differences in the range of poverty to upper middle class while shrouding the realities of life in the 1% amd underemphasizing the difference between “can send my kid to private school” and “could build a private school for my kid”.

    On its face it sounds absolutely absurd to lump in Ivy League Greg with Trailer Park Steve, but they both have far more in common with each other than they do with multi-millionaires. The knee jerk almost primal rejection of that idea that comes quickly to most people is fucking intentionally taught into us.

      Congratulations on taking the red pill, that’s what the concept of the middle class always has been. And it’s a tactic the powerful have always used. They want the middle class thinking of ourselves as fundamentally different from and better than the poor and they want the poor resenting us for it
