      Middle class is an arbitrary distinction we are all workers

      Now what can definitely be said is that your typical American is a reactionary racist beyond salvation but that’s true regardless of income, and if this is your point I don’t disagree

        I’m not crying for some roaches with million dollar homes getting what was coming to them. The United States uses more power for air conditioning than all of south america uses for existing. Fuck em. Fuck their houses, fuck their retirements. They’ll hold on to their white picket fences until the rest of the world has burned into nothing but ash. We can and will do without them. These wildfires, all the wildfires to come are nothing compared to what climate change will wrestle upon the rest of the world.

        It’s not entirely arbitrary. The middle classes are what people are referring to when they talk about the Petit Bourgeoise & “Labor Aristocracy”. Still, peppersky is perhaps taking things a bit too personally.
