Working Class: me
Ruling Class: my ex-wife in family court

Her aim is getting better

This is what a lot of Americans believe. The anti-communist billionaire is actually my friend because he also thinks the lazy poors should work harder. My real enemies are HR departments and college campuses turning the kids into transgenders!

[-] kkitsuragisleftnut@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

Tbf HR departments are typically full of class traitors.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

Yeah but that’s not why they’re hated

'Tis not the King who is evil, the King is wonderful and he loves the peasants. 'Tis the King's advisers who are the real source of evil! If I could sit down and talk to the King, I'm sure he would realize how much I'm suffering, and he would make things right.

-Literally medieval peasants AND bazinga minions.

Difference is that modern liberals will blame the “King,” state leadership. The problem isn’t bourgeois hegemony, it’s the politicians at large, or of one particular party, interfering with true capitalism, and if they’d get out of the way everything would be fixed.

So more like, the lord whose land I am tied to from birth to death isn’t the problem, he wants to do good by me. The king, he demands too much tribute, if he was only more fair, m’lord would let us keep more of the crops we have harvested. If only King Andrew the III’s nephew had taken the throne in the 9th century instead of that usurper, his half brother.

Also the French during the revolution. Then Louis tried to conspire to quash the revolution and get back in charge so they finally gave him the chop.

[-] Poogona@hexbear.net 49 points 2 days ago

Isn't this literally the rhetoric the Nazis used to twist class struggle into nationalism?

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago

More or less but somehow stupider and more Yankee brained in this iteration

Yea after about 6 months this is what most of their race science sounded like where Japanese people and Hitler embodied the strong Aryan blue eyed blonde archetype and the English and French weren't white.

Elon Musk: Working hard to bring you memes from 2006

Local school board: Won't let me bring a six-pack to watch the girl's volleyball try-outs!

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

My all-beef diet? Working class.

My toilet that keeps clogging? Ruling class.

The ultimate bad guys in contrast are the intelligentsia. Most working-class conservatives, for instance, don’t have much use for corporate executives, but they usually don’t feel especially passionate about their dislike for them. Their true hatred is directed at the “liberal elite” (this divides into various branches: the “Hollywood elite,” the “journalistic elite,” “university elite,” “fancy lawyers,” or “the medical establishment”)—that is, the sort of people who live in big coastal cities, watch public television or public radio, or even more, who might be involved in producing or appearing in same. It seems to me there are two perceptions that lie behind this resentment: (1) the perception that members of this elite see ordinary working people as a bunch of knuckle-dragging cavemen, and (2) the perception that these elites constitute an increasingly closed caste; one which the children of the working class would actually have far more difficulty breaking into than the class of actual capitalists.

It also seems to me that both these perceptions are largely accurate.

...

Conservative voters, I would suggest, tend to resent intellectuals more than they resent rich people, because they can imagine a scenario in which they or their children might become rich, but cannot possibly imagine one in which they could ever become a member of the cultural elite. If you think about it that’s not an unreasonable assessment. A truck driver’s daughter from Nebraska might not have very much chance of becoming a millionaire—America now has the lowest social mobility in the developed world—but it could happen. There’s virtually no way that same daughter will ever become an international human rights lawyer, or drama critic for the New York Times. Even if she could get into the right schools, there would certainly be no possible way for her to then go on to live in New York or San Francisco for the requisite years of unpaid internships. Even if the son of glazier got a toehold in a well-positioned bullshit job, he would likely, like Eric, be unable or unwilling to transform it into a platform for the obligatory networking. There are a thousand invisible barriers.

Always wondered how some people never make the connection. Because all that means is these jobs never get properly done because any half-decent job is filled with nepo babies from the broader category of "the rich".

This is literally just "things I like are good and things I don't like are bad" and yet they've also managed to act morally and intellectually superior while saying it.

Tell me it's an elaborate bit pls 😭

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

They're reposting trabsphobic stuff from Rowling so it must be a really committed bit.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

I generally assume once they have transphobic brainworms that it’s not a bit. And if it is, I don’t really care that their transphobia is intended to be ironic or whatever.

Non-novel emmiseration content. This is a very old repost and has very little value in sharing. Please delete.

False consciousness is still consciousness I guess?

This is closer to unconsciousness
