    Sorry it’s not the responsibility of the most vulnerable to take on power just so you can be comfortable in the middle class.

    In Soc 110, we were taught that’s exactly why there is a middle class: to serve as a buffer between the wealthy and the poor. The middle class is shrinking.

      There’s a middle class because of settler colonialism and WWII. You get to have a house because a whole continent of land was stolen via genocide. So it’s no surprise Western libs won’t stand against the Gaza genocide since your own wealth is predicted on genocide as well.

        Yes. Maybe that’s why even though I voted for Clinton, I still was sympathetic to Antifa and Black Bloc. Cognitive dissonance was loud. And I fervently hope I don’t backslide.
