I also disagree with the Roderic Day article above (just saw the edit).
There are many BIPOC and poor people in the Western world.
It's not even a matter of "rights" and "disenfranchisement" and it's more accurate to say that a lot of this stuff is implicit and isn't really thought of in concrete terms by Westerners.
And being "proletarianized" isn't a panacea for, say, chauvinism or racism.
(Also, the article on brain-washing is kinda silly in general lmao)
Awesome!
