I know we have our Marxist definition and all that, but it seems to be a really pervasive , everywhere I go. Some people I've talked to think for instance, all scientists are silver spooned and never worked a day in their life because they don't do construction, or whatever.
How do you argue with people like this? Can you?
The scientist one is so weird to me, as a scientist, because there I see no other way to describe us than working class, aside from professors specifically.
I get paid shit, own nothing, and it’s not even a cushy do nothing email job, I do a lot of physical labor. It may not be construction worker level of physical labor, but I regularly get over 15,000 steps a day walking around the facility, I constantly have to move heavy shit around, deal with dangerous chemicals, clean gross messes, shit like that, and all of that was worse when I worked in an agriculture lab where half the time it was literally just working in a corn field.
