Racism has always been the scapegoat of the bourgeoisie.Racism is the classic tool of division used by the bourgeoisie, the ruling class, to distract the working masses from the deeper, more pressing issues of class inequality and economic exploitation. It's how the powerful elites maintain control by preventing solidarity among working-class people of all races, thereby keeping them focused on superficial divisions rather than the shared economic struggles they face due to the concentration of wealth and power. It deflects attention from the systemic corruption and economic systems (the things Doge is working to dismantle) that disproportionately benefit the few while keeping the many in poverty.The Bourgeoisie class makes sure that the working class spends all their valuable time and effort directing their anger and frustration toward one another, rather than uniting against the true cause of their suffering: the corrupt system itself. This manufactured war is what keeps the status quo in place, with the elite benefiting from both economic and racial divisions. We saw this with the whole ESG bullshit.Racism is the pervasive scapegoat that perpetuates the power dynamics that allow the rich to stay rich and the poor to stay oppressed, all while diverting attention from the genuine structural issues like crony regulations and crony capitalism. That scapegoat is currently on life support as the American society moves to reject that narrative.It really doesn't matter if the preferred skin color was white 50 years ago or black today, the point is to continue the manufactured war to sustain the current system.
You think I am making sense here Sidewalker?
Elon Musk makes in a minute what the average American household makes in 4.5 years. But wait, oh no, a black kid is going to college!
And to your thought experiment, you are right on. Everybody seems to think AI will eventually do everything and nobody will have to work and that will be great, that is so naive, the only people that will be good for are the bazillionaires that own the AI, when AI gets to the point where nobody has to work, it will also be when nobody has a job, and they don't have any money either, and the ruling Oligarchy is not going to give them any. There is no AI utopia in our future, there is only an AI utopia for the ruling oligarchs, and then the revolution.
Ok, but you realize this attitude is kind of my point? Like as long as other divisions between people exist, it's near impossible for all laborers to band together.
I don't really know what you're talking about tbh.
I'm very ready to band together with you here right now and make politics that goes after wealth inequality.
true.Being a Luddite might seem edgy for a while, but everyone eventually outgrows that phase.
Depends on the policy, I guess. Universal healthcare I'd support depending on implementation, rent control I'd oppose.
Worker representation on corporate boards
subsidised college
Maybe. What about degrees that are known not to increase odds of getting a good job?
If we're not going to ban this dumb cunt, can we at least ban his paedophile friend? They're so fucking creepy man.
pedos need love too.
Exactly what I said in my post. A violent revolutions among laborers need near 100% support since they can easily be replaced with other laborers. I didn't say whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, though I'd probably be opposed to starting a class war.
The top 1 percent held about half of that wealth – 32.1 percent, while the next 9 percent held approximately another half at 37.7 percent.

The rest are afraid of immigrants taking over.
Another thing to realize is that the working class in the US is also customers. So it's not just you vs. employers and immigrants, it's you vs. employers and immigrants and people who want cheaper products. US jurisdiction only covers a fraction of the market, and your bargaining power only goes so far before those other groups start adapting.
U.S minimum wage is $7.25/hour. In Canada the minimum wage is $11/hour or 15$ Canadian. So the wealthy has control over the rest of the population including government and politics.
