    This isn’t class warfare, this is obscene ignorance about slavery born of your immense wealth and privilege.

    Also I make 6 figures.

      It’s hilarious for you to call me wealthy or privileged. In 2018 my income was about $17,000 and I was completely dependent on my partner.

      I’ve worked for $6.85 an hour, I’ve been a dishwasher and a janitor and I’ve been unemployed and on welfare for long stretches, living off $600 a month.

      I know where I am and where I’ve been. And it doesn’t change the basic framework of the capitalist meatgrinder.

        I once made $9k in a year, and yet I am still wealthy now with my current 6 figure income.

            I am literally in the top 10% of income in the US, which does indeed make me wealthy.
