Is there really a meaningful difference between middle and working classes at this point? The way I see it, almost everyone who is able to work is doing work except landlords, heirs, C-suite executives and billionaires. Middle class people are a bit better off, but a lot are still just a few paycheques away from destitution.

I keep thinking it's a bad idea for us to talk ONLY to 'our own people' (#LaGauche, the left, #anarchists :anarchism: :anqueer_flag: , #antifascists :antifa: , progressives).

Speaking personally, after being subjected to homophobia, after having LGBTQIAplus friends (esp. trans :heart_trans: ) unalived by s***cide & hate crimes due to soceity's insistence on hating #LGBTQIAplus :pride: people, and after watching marginalised people become leopard face-fodder by voting against their own interests (Result: making all of our lives worse), I've become somewhat of a hissing cat when it comes to apoliticals who veer towards the right, newly-rightwingers who once upon a time knew better, zionists, etc.

I try and tell myself that reaching out to these people is crucial to building a broad church of #classunity and whatnot. That just because other people are better at reaching out, doesn't mean I and others can shirk that responsibility. In a word, 'Let somebody else talk to them' seems unfair.

But maybe, IDK, some people are good at some stuff and other people are good at other stuff. And that's okay. ☮️

we are very tired of keeping their peace.

The politicians, the leaders, the rich, the big bosses, are in command… THEY control. WE, THE PEOPLE, SUFFER… THEY have tried to make us mere functions of a production process. THEY have polluted the world with chemical waste from their factories. THEY shoved garbage from their media down our throats…
