    Is she progressive? This whole thing is based on generalities and stereotypes.

    she might be a lib or something, idk, but what I'm reading here is fucking garbage.

    It is prolifierating the class system in a pretty fucking insidious way, depending on how you read it. If you're coming from a poor it shows the way your boss thinks and what you're doing wrong, if you're coming from a bourgeois it reads how much better you are than the poors.

    That whole orwell quote is complete garbage ( :surprised-pika: ) because it is coming from the idea that the upper classes fear the lower. The reality is they simply wish to exploit them.

    What's your ideology bruh. The fuck are you even talking about?

      Progressive == liberal

      The original progressives were white chauvinist eugenicists. They were also all liberals.

      Much like american libs would like you to believe it means something different now (it doesn't), self-identified progressives would say the same thing. It doesn't.

      Aware of her continued influence, community leaders in Hills­borough invited Payne to a forum in 2014. Baptiste, the education chair of the Tampa NAACP, shared a series of polite emails the two exchanged.

      But Payne never came. She said the NAACP would not pay her expenses and harbored "almost a vendetta" against her.

      The Rev. Russell Meyer, who works with area civil rights groups, said he was not surprised the teachers in Orlando liked Payne's message. "They don't have to change anything that they think or believe or do," he said.

      Yeah she sounds like a progressive. https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/k12/education-guru-ruby-payne-is-she-wrong-about-kids-in-poverty-or/2237083/

      Sure they do. Why do you think they're so fervently anti-worker? Because workers united will recognize them as the parasites they are and destroy them.

        They're fervently anti-worker because they wish to make money off of us. They would not be anti-worker if they feared us lmao.

        Like if they were aware that this may get their head removed in the short term it would not be a consideration. No fear at all, no respect either as they tend to go together
